Thank you,

I agree with this, takes a few seconds for the app to load. Can be irritating sometimes...

I have also noticed a couple of minor issues regarding specific applications (from extras-testing):
  • There is an empty field with the standard blue square icon on top of the list. I'm not sure how I got that there.
  • The icon of e**jpi (the RPN calculator) is somehow oversized in the list
  • Journey Planner for Norway shows the wrong name (just a few weird characters) and sometimes it disappears from the list completely
Re-install of said apps did not help. Are the issues related to the apps themselves or to the widget?

And, of course, many thanks! I hadn't realized how useful an app like this was (as a widget) before actually trying it out!
