Feature request: Events/Scoring widget
Does anyone still use the MU Cycle widget in Scanner [Redacted]?
I personally don't, since the information provided by it is not sufficient for my playstyle. However, I think there is potential in having a widget to provide some information about ingame events and local cellscores.
So far, a homescreen widget, in any form, isn't part of Ingress Prime. Since the old widget is obsolete in most cases, I don't think it is necessary for full feature parity in its current form. But I think it would be useful to have something similar in future versions of Ingress Prime.
Here are some ideas of information such a widget could include, in no particular order:
- Graphical local MU scoring (piechart? Column?)
- Upcoming ingame events with timer (Challenges, Anomalies, IFS, Mission Days)
- Live Scoring Update of ongoing events (Hack Challenge progress, anomalie scores)
- Personal Agent information (Portals owned, MU controlled, current hacking streak, basically the "now" tab of ones agent profile)
These are some ideas that I personally would find useful. If someone else has additional ideas, I'd like to read them. I'm interested in what other agents and Niantic think about a potential widget for Prime.

I use it daily just for fun.. i hope prime will get a widget.
Is a must have.
Same as @mortuus, I use it daily. Especially because it's easy to launch REDACTED quickly.
Hope that a similar widget will be in one of the future Prime update...
I need a prime widget asap. They're so easy to create, surely they must not have forgotten about it.
I still use it since it offers the septicycle, the cell that I'm currently in, the score in the cell that I'm in, and also launches the [REDACTED] application.
That said I do think that it should at least carry most of the features of the current one into Prime.
Being in an unbalanced and near impossible to affect cell, I don't bother, but I see how it is useful.
I'm really hoping for a Prime widget, and it would qualify as "feature parity" since it's a part of the original scanner. It's really good for a quick look at CP time and score.
Please bring back my homescreen widget with prime!
@NianticBrian
please consider making even a basic widget just so we can see our cell scores, thanks.
So what information would be useful for you to be displayed in a widget?
I don't really need a widget for anything, unless it allowed me to hack nearby portals like those Go devices.
The scoring widget is fine. I just don't have any need for it, because our cell is dominated by layered fields in an area that no-one is willing to repeatedly go for Ingress (Compton/Southgate) for safety reasons. When I'm playing Ingress, the client is open, so there's no need to use a widget.
I used it, and miss it. My ideas for a revamp
