Syndik8

Add the home-screen widget

Add the Syndik8 widget to your phone’s home screen. It shows your next booking, your balance, and any incoming debit for your default syndicate. For what each line means, see Home-screen widget.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • Sign in to the Syndik8 app at least once. The widget shows the last data the app synced, so it needs the app to have run.
  • If you belong to more than one syndicate, set your Default syndicate under Profile > Defaults (see Set your defaults). The widget follows that setting, not the syndicate you have open in the app. With only one syndicate, the widget shows it.
  • The widget is iOS and Android only. There is no widget on web.
