Frequently Asked Questions

I installed Smooth Calendar but it doesn't work, all i get is this thank you message

Smooth Calendar is a widget, you need to add it to your home screen.

Since the latest update of my phone the calendar button no longer works

Go to Smooth Calendar settings, tap the "Calendar application" setting and select your calendar application.

I want to change the date/time format of Smooth Calendar, what is the syntax?

You can find the correct syntax here.

The items in Smooth Calendar are not vertically aligned

You can adjust the top padding yourself, or increase the number of items to show or the font size to get the alignment the way you want it.

I want to help translate Smooth Calendar, where can i find the files?

First, thank you for wanting to help. The files can be found in on github, the file you want is values/strings.xml. If you know how to use git feel free to do a pull request when you are done, or just email us the file and we'll add it.

Premium version, what is it?

The Premium version can be unlocked by tapping one of the premium items in settings and buying it in the Google Play Store. It will unlock some extra features and help support development.

I bought the Premium version but it still tells me to pay

This is an issue with Google Play cache, try restarting your device. If that doesn't work try clearing the Google Play cache, failing that an uninstall/reinstall of Smooth Calendar should solve it.

How do you decide if a feature is Premium or Regular?

Generally user requested features that i don't use myself go into the Premium version, everything else is available in the Regular version.
