About Calendar Arc Watch Face

Wow! Over 1000 installs! Thank you so much! - John.

Written to be my 'daily driver', I have connected this watch face and it's companion application to the phone's calendar data, allowing it to show when events occur during the day.

Intended to be as minimal a design as possible, while also including the most often used features I use during the day.

Version 1.3.6r12
============

New INTERNET permission for the 'update news' card - no data is sent over the internet from this app, and never will!

What's New?
- Event List View - Touch the watch face!
- Complete overhaul of the watch face internals, to enable faster app updates
- UI Updates to the companion app
- Lots of internal changes to the bluetooth API
- Dynamic watch framerate
- Added some experimental animations
- Moved the gauges out of BETA
- Fixed the midnight-rollaround bug!
- Improved calendar selection UI for folks with huge numbers of calendars - will improve this further

What's coming?
- New face styles!
- Transition animations
- Editable font sizes
- Editable arc widths
- Gauge options
- Interactive Gauges
- Google Fit integration
- Weather integration

Version 1.2
========

By request, I've added a bunch of new features!

- Toggle event name visibility
- Toggle major tics visibility
- Toggle minor tics visibility
- Full screen mode (for G Watch R users!)
- Dark mode (for G Watch R and OLED display devices!)
- Toggle week day visibility
- Toggle date visibility
- Toggle month visibility
- Toggle year visibility
- Show a watch battery gauge (BETA)
- Show a phone battery gauge (BETA)

Enjoy version 1.2!

Features
=======

- Automatic synchronisation, with an additional "Manual Sync" button in the companion phone app
- Supports 'ambient mode'
- Individual calendars can be enabled or disabled from the companion phone app
- Event colours are preserved from Google Calendar settings! Set the event colour to see it more clearly on the watch face!
- 'Live' event titles are shown when they occur
- Highlights the current event arc.
- Designed primarily for the Motorola Moto 360, (Update: but now considering the G Watch R too!) but *should* work on any Wear compatible device.


About your data
============
No data is sent from this application to any server, and calendar events are only sent between your phone and the watch face. I store no information whatsoever in any form remotely, nor is there any way to pull data from the application.

What are users saying about Calendar Arc Watch Face

M70%
by M####:

Not worth it anymore. Feels like the app is no longer supported. Sync issues, calendar setting issues, app state issues. I can describe in details if anyone asks. I paid for this face - it worked magic before.

W70%
by W####:

5 stars for appearance, 2 stars for calendar integration methodology Very attractive watch-face. Unfortunately, the calendar integration itself is a little clunky. My main grump - I added an "Exchange" account type to track work emails and appointments. This works for the Albumen watch face (which apparently uses the native Google Wear integration). However, this watch face is unaware of it, and due to its UI, I suspect that it accesses the calendars directly using a different API.

W70%
by W####:

A great start - the first watch I've found that really takes advantage of a smart watch. I'm looking forward to seeing more styles. My only requests would be to somehow make am and pm appointments distinct. Maybe events more than 11 hours away could be 50% opacity? And I don't like the events list - why not just load the Agenda app instead?

M70%
by M####:

Just waiting on the color options. I hate orange lol but also do we have an expected date for the upcoming update?? This is the only calendar watch face I like, but I'd like more options. Thanks in advance! Also, wish it showed all day events as well like birthdays but I can't seem to get those to show?

by M####:

Doesn't work on Android Wear 2.0 and last updated 8/2015. This app is dead.

U70%
by U####:

The stars lie. It's a great watch face. Unfortunately it's lost compatibility with my Huawei Watch. If there were an arc to represent precipitation, it would be magnificent.

W70%
by W####:

Bug in that the Calendars selected are not saved (I have a lot of calendars) therefore no events display on the watch. I.e. the selection of calendars is not persistent.

M70%
by M####:

Needs bigger font option and remove Arc logo since I paid for this. LOVE how the dim screen face is same as screen on face... Almost. Please don't change that.

Q70%
by Q####:

Update : stopped using face due to lack of ambient cards. Waiting for an update.... Awesome concept, can't wait for future releases... One question, my notifications don't stay visible on the watch after it dims... Is that something with the watch face? My stock faces didn't act this way. Also agree, need ability to increase font size and battery meter icons. Thanx

by Q####:

This app is extremely useful! As someone going through Android wear udacity course to try and implement something similar, I am super pleased to see that's it's been made already! Won't stop me from trying to figure out how you made it possible though!

E70%
by E####:

Thank you. This is an obvious win. Now please make it amazing... I'd like to get rid of the shadow/3d effects, Id like the battery guages to go into a black and white mode or be subtle all of the time, Id like to remive the word "arc" as it just clutters the screen, obviously Id like to be able to atleast change colors or even watch face styles entirely while still seeing the calendar arcs. I would actually like this as an overlay onto other wear watch faces. Regardless, thank you.

Y70%
by Y####:

Great to integrate calendar in the interface! However on dark mode the event has shadow effect that causes the words unreadable, thus defeats the purpose. Please fix this as a priority over all other issues! Really important! Picture in play store shows diff color backing for diff events, don't see that option. Will be helpful if there is this function!

I70%
by I####:

This watch face finally got me using my calendar, so brownie points for that! Also great explanation of permissions used and how our data is used. Such things are underappreciated by most people. There are some slight cosmetic issues like the arcs overlapping numbers, the spacing of numbers, etc. Occasionally it seems to bug out and "forget" all its settings, only to "remember" them later. Great job overall though!

Q70%
by Q####:

Had been eyeing this for a while not sure if I'd actually dig it. Gotta say its super clean and nice looking. Customization options are great, as is the list of what's to come. Great watch face!

E70%
by E####:

A previous version of this was great. Now, because I have a long list of calendars, I'm unable to select mine. Scrolling down the list shows my calendar, but when I select it and leave the settings, then come back, only the top boxes have been selected. It's as though the scrolling never happened. I can't use this face as a result.

Q70%
by Q####:

Best face I've found so far for "hey, look. Your schedule". The ability to select WHICH calendars to show is crucial for me. Could use more customization options like "highlight color" (yellow doesn't do it for me). The agenda view is basically illegible for me due to bad sharpening/interpolation. I'd like more options for the complications, like "signal strength" or "exercise" or what have you. I'd like a better "low battery mode" for my watch-with-no-battery. But it does what it says, and works well for that purpose. Thanks.

Q70%
by Q####:

UPDATE: It is impossible to select calendars if there is a scroll bar and you scroll down to calendars at the bottom. /////// I really like the idea with displaying calendar events around the clock.

J70%
by J####:

Great looking face but my appointments don't show up on my LG G watch. User error?

R70%
by R####:

Great app for spotting when I should be somewhere. I'd like the ability to change calendar colours in the app, and an option to show appointments marked "free" rather than see them in same as background colour. Also, the list view on tap could be massively improved. Please increase the font size on that list and make it scrollable. Looking forward to the next update.

by Q####:

I love it. Even though it needs more work, this is what I use every day. Definitely worth the money and more. Haven't found anything to equal or better it. Looking forward to font and font size selection and Google fit integration. Keep up the good work!

by Q####:

Not working on Samsung Gear Live, the calendar won't show up! Thank you.

B70%
by B####:

Love this but when you tap on the color it takes you to a screen which only uses about 1/10th of the available space on an already small device! I'll keep it in hopes the update comes soon.....

Q70%
by Q####:

It's everything I needed. It's stylish and has a visual representation of my appointments. This was the first and so far my only Wear purchase. My daily driver. Thank you.

Q70%
by Q####:

Really great watchface! I would give another star if it sync with my caldav :) great job pal!

Q70%
by Q####:

This is the watch app I was looking for; it provides tons of information quickly and efficiently with an outstanding UI. Kudos to the developer.

Q70%
by Q####:

Looks fantastic, I would like the option to remove the Arc from the screen centre though.

M70%
by M####:

I bought this because I like the concept, the developer looks like he responds to feedback and what's been done so far has been fairly well implemented. Need to look at the battery gauges in Dark mode as they don't show up (bug) and would also like to see weather (feature request), custom colour of second hand and the opportunity to not show cards in ambient mode (long term feature requests). Thanks for what you've developed so far.

X70%
by X####:

Can't get this to update. Stuck on 1.2.0. I know I bought the face. Uninstalled from watch and phone multiple times.

R70%
by R####:

Very practical. I can see my day at a glance, and the battery level feature is smart.

C70%
by C####:

The watch face doesn't show up in LG G watch. I paid for it guys.

M70%
by M####:

Love the idea of this - it'd be great if I could add the calendars I have synchronized with the Sunrise app so I've got everything in the one spot. Right now it's not showing my events, but sunrise is the only thing I can use across my laptop as well as my phone.

C70%
by C####:

Great for seeing events at a glance. A small bug is that for overnight appointments, it flips the start and end times and assumes they happen on the same day. A black face would also not go amiss.

T70%
by T####:

Simple, clean, and let's me know what my day looks like.

V70%
by V####:

Would like to have the option to have the hour numbers on the watchface please.

I70%
by I####:

Nice watch face. May I ask that, when two events follow one after the other in the same calendar, that it is possible to distinguish between the end of one event and the start of the next? Also, if two events overlap, the second event seems to overwrite the end of the first event. Can they be displayed so that the start and end of both events can be seen?

C70%
by C####:

I really like the idea with displaying calendar events around the clock. Also, it would be great if this watch face could display full-day events in the middle.

C70%
by C####:

Simplify the battery display will make it perfect

Z70%
by Z####:

The only improvements I would like would be to have more options, there can never be enough options. Also, the battery indicators could be made to be quieter in design.

C70%
by C####:

Great idea

C70%
by C####:

Clean, simple, useful. Will give an update on battery drain. Only two suggestions are make "ARC" toggle-able. Also move setting from App drawer to Wear app.
