Each task on the widget has:

Tip: You can place on your device as many widgets as you like and each one can be set to show a different checklist.
Note: we have strongly resisted the urge to develop the full functionality of the app in the Widget. Please remember that the Widget is simply a view to the app and most functionality should be handled from the app itself. This is also in accordance with the Android design guidelines.
