I really enjoy using your app. Very helpful. Lately I haven't been able to access the widget on my Android and need to go into the regular task and press it. Seems there's a glitch in the widget. The current and next zmanim don't seem to be updated at the zman it needs to be updated to. Aside from this, I would like an option if possible for the days zmanim list to be part of the widget. Thank you again!
