Hi, I have an app to display a realtime train arrivals. Users usually set their morning and evening stations for commutes and the app knows what info to display.
A couple years ago I've added a widget and now pretty significant amount of my users just swipe right on the home screen to check their commute schedule.
A typical user would check schedule around same time, may be about 1h window in the morning and 1h window in the evening. But even updating once in 3 minutes my be not enough. Update is a single and relatively small HTTP request. I can make it even a few times smaller to optimise for widget.
I'm trying to find a solution so my users can still have a valuable information displayed in the widget, but from the session about new widgets and even after lab advice (was really good btw) - I struggle to find a solution at leas as good as the current one, Im not even trying to improve my users experience.
Do you have any suggestion guys?
PS: Current widget has 3 buttons which are useful, but I understand there is no way to have that.
PPS: It will be really useful for developers who have apps with widgets and in a similar situation as me (eg. widget show real time info or based on user interaction) to know what is EOF for "old" widgets.
Thanks.
