Don’t like the Android Calendar widget? Get a “Pure” one

Google Calendar is great on the web and on Android. On the homescreen? Not good enough for some people. The widget is limited to a small portion of the screen and a smaller list of events, which simply doesn’t cut it for some folks. If you don’t like the default Android calendar homescreen widget, here are a couple of replacements worth considering.
Pure Grid and Pure Calendar are two apps created by developer Francois Deslandes. Each app has the potential to appeal to different needs. If you’re a HTC Senseophile, you may like the Hero-inspired Pure Grid Calendar which can take up an entire screen or a 4×3 panel. If you’re more interested in seeing all your upcoming events listed on the homescreen, opt for the agenda-style Pure Calendar. The Pure Grid widget comes with several visual styles and Pure Calendar has skinning support. Users can also change display settings.
Pure Grid costs €0.99 while Pure Calendar costs €1.49. Users without access to paid apps in the Android Market can purchase through the SlideMe alternative market. Click on the screenshots of both apps to get an idea of what they look like.

Can we keep it clean, please? Good grief! Grow up.
Beautiful widget!
I've just bought it, and its very usefull!
Android Agenda is a great alternative.
Pure calendar widget is now scrollable with 'LauncherPro' et 'ADW Launcher' http://koxx3.wordpress.com/2010/06/26/pure-calend…
The widget probably displays great on a standard 4×4 home screen, but I have a big screen on my phone, so use ADW to allow more space. This widget doesn't stretch to fit the space it is supposed to in landscape view, which makes it rather pointless. Other widgets (even by the same developer) have the ability to scale to whatever you set it too, this does not, and the developer has no intention of fixing that, which is very disappointing… I wont be buying from this developer again.
how do i update this wondrous little app? i have changed my google calendar but it does not reflect it on my Droid?
Looks nice, but there are a lot of free apps that do the same thing

I like Smart agenda widget. No need to launch calendar at all to make typical actions.
