Where do I find the widgets???
Where do I set the time zone? Especially for sharing with other people?
I believe the time zone is set in the settings for your Google Calendar, not in the widget.
Thanks! I partially tracked it down to Google Calendar. Unfortunately, the calendar I'm having trouble with isn't mine, and there's no way to change the default (which is GMT). Also, with different users in different time zones, it would be useful to have more user end flexibility on the matter.
How to I get All of my calendars to show on the widget? It is only allowing my default one
Where do I authorise Start.me to access my Google Calendar on iPad?
