Wiesz KiedyThe “My stop” widget: how to put departures on your home screen
Step by step: how to add the Wiesz Kiedy widget with the next departures from your stop to your Android home screen, how to change the stop and what to do when the widget is empty.
The My stop widget shows the next departures from a chosen stop right on your home screen. No need to open the app to see whether you will make the tram. There are two ways to add it; pick whichever is easier.
Way 1: from a stop in the app (the simplest)
- In Wiesz Kiedy, open the stop you use most, for example from the Stops tab or by tapping it on the map.
- Choose Pin to widget.
- Your phone asks whether to add the widget to the home screen. Confirm, and the widget shows departures from that stop straight away.
This is the quickest way: the stop is already chosen, so there is nothing to search for twice.
Way 2: from the home screen
- Press and hold an empty spot on your home screen.
- Choose Widgets and find Wiesz Kiedy in the list.
- Drag the My stop widget onto the screen.
- The Stop for the widget screen opens. Type the stop's name or pick it from Favourites.
If you choose nothing, the widget says “Tap to choose a stop”. Tap it to get back to the choice.
How to change the widget's stop
Tap the stop's name on the widget (the one with the ▾ arrow) and choose another. You can also open a different stop in the app and use Pin to widget again. Want two stops at once, say one near home and one near work? Add two widgets.
What the widget shows
- up to four next departures: line number, direction and how many minutes to go,
- a refresh button for when you want the latest times right now.
Tapping the widget opens that stop in the app with the full departure board, including live delays.
The widget does not update or is empty
- Make sure the app has your city's timetable: open it once after installing.
- Some phones put apps to sleep in the background to save battery. If the widget keeps showing old times, turn off battery optimisation for Wiesz Kiedy in Android's settings.
- The app's Settings have a Home screen widgets section with short instructions, in case your phone's widget list looks different.
The other widgets
Wiesz Kiedy has two more widgets: My places, which plans a trip home or to work with one tap, and Saved route, which shows the next departure of your regular trip. See the guide The “My places” and “Saved route” widgets.
