Contact Calendar Support

Once upon a time I was able to choose whether the default display was month, week or day and it would stay that way. I could tap on a day of the month and that day would open. Now when I tap on an empty date in preparation to enter an appointment the empty date doesn’t show up, all the appointments near the empty date fill the display. For whom is this a helpful feature? Why is there no option to turn off this feature?
In the olden days there was just a dot for every appointment on a date, you’d have to open the date to see the appointments. Annoying but dependable. Now the first appointment shows up in the date and if there are others it says “other”. At a glance it really looks like there is only one appointment on that day. Instead of making “other” bigger give me the option to go back to dots. One dot, one appointment, 8 dots, 8 appointments.
Just a few versions ago I was able to choose holiday calendars from anywhere I wanted. Now it’s only USA holidays so I have to hand enter holidays for home. I can probably change my region but then I can only operate those options. When did Apple become so attached to nationalist ideals? It must be about making somethings more expensive in certain areas.
The app tries to be intuitive by providing what it thinks I want by default, but it’s more like when a child is being helpful and a short task become a long one that requires loads of patience. The difference is I have no love for the app.
Just fix it.

Please update your calendar! It is the worst calendar app! When I open my calendar, I want to see a quick view of my month. All you provide is a bunch of dots that tell me I might have something planned that day. That doesn’t help me stay focused and organized in the slightest. Instead I have to open each day individually to see what the dang dot is. ( I know, first world problems). This is why I use google calendar. Way more user friendly and I can easily make changes to several of my calendars at once. I can easily glance at my calendar and plan events. I just wished it had the seamlessness most all other apples apps have with iPhone, but it doesn’t because it’s obviously google. If there’s anything apple truly fails at. It’s this app right here. You’d think that with a multibillion dollar company that probably makes thousands of events, plans, and meetings per day, they’d have a solid calendar app. I’m willing to take a bet that not even your own employees use this calendar for their engagements. It’s a shame!

Befire, i enjoyed my calendar. Used it far more than my peers. Now, it’s bad. I doesn’t show details in notifications (in widgets?). There’s no setting for me to ask it to allow details, which would be similar to messages app *if* i wanted privacy. This should be MY choice. The settings features under general are pretty limited. I can’t even choose if i want banners as notifications. Etc. It’s not there as an option. The app now groups my notifications but won’t allow me a drop down to show more/less. When I open the first notification on top, the rest of them disappear… I i lose all my reminders. The last few weeks I’ve missed 3 important birthdays! I’ve also been late on a budget tasks & missed a salon appt due to problematic The app is now futile, erroneous & irrelevant for me. Before, i loved it!

Suggestions:
- fix these bugs that render it useless!
-Add feature where calendar also texts you.
-Add feature where calendar has more choices of reminder timelines.
-Add feature where calendar can have improved notes such as links, photos embedded.
- allow a feature where you can add the same calendar data to multiple dates. For instance, you can add “Tara’s party to Dec 1 & Feb 3 at once vs going in and inputting separately.”
