How to get the Pixel 2’s best features on any Android device

At-a-Glance

The second component of the Pixel 2 launcher is the At-a-Glance widget, which displays the date, weather, and other important information, like an upcoming appointment. Google, of course, doesn’t make this widget available to competing Android handsets, so one plucky developer made an alternative.

Another Widget mimic’s the Pixel 2 launcher’s At-a-Glance feature with weather information, calendar integration, and more. And the good news is Another Widget is free, and it works on any device running Android 4.4 and above.

It’s worth noting that since Another Widget launched, it has run into its fair share of issues. But recent reviews say the widget is improving, with the latest update coming on October 16. With more tweaking, there’s potential for Another Widget to become even more powerful than Google’s At-a-Glance feature.

Hopefully, Nova Launcher can come up with its own alternative. For now, Another Widget looks like the best and most powerful solution available.
