Widget - feature request

I really like the widget! Would it be possible to make a full size widget? Or make the largest widget scrollable? It difficult to see events on the iPhone app - I really love the widget view but it doesn’t show to much. I would be thrilled to see more events in this new layout.

I also wonder if it would be possible yo add anniversaries from our contacts.

The other thing I would love to see is a way to check off birthdays (or anniversaries 😃) I don’t want to see in my birthday calendar.

I love that birthdays tell me the age the person is turning ♥️. Would love to see anniversaries to celebrate any event tell me how many years.

Really trying to use only the Apple ecosystem to keep my information secure and safe. These would really help me to do that.

Thanks for be willing to listen. It means so much. 😊

Pointless.

This is a good app, all except the fact that ever since I did a software update months back, the calendar went back to five minute time gaps. I mean what’s the point of a new software update that makes the calendar go back to the old method of five minute gaps. Months before that we did a software update where you could write down the time on starts and ends which I thought was brilliant, but now it has gone back to five minutes gaps which is old and useless when things were going fine. Please bring back the writing of time and make this brilliant again like it was a few months ago. What’s the point of bringing back this rubbish old update, nothing new about it!!!

I USE IT BUT….

I wanna continue to use Calendar and every IOS APP but I don’t understand why a few doesn’t work right or up to capability? It would be more than AWESOME, if Calendar would get a full month widget like yes…Google calendar. It’s so much better to see everything at a glance to see what’s coming up to prepare for or change etc… why hasn’t this happened yet all these years? Put your pride aside, and do it. Also the Mail app I wanna use badly doesn’t work, nothing comes in on time, have to open the app for it to then tell me I have new messages???? Really? Please explain why google mail is more dependable, flawless. Along with a monthly calendar widget? Why is it MORE PEOPLE USE GOOGLE PRODUCTS ON IOS IPHONES? I BADLY WANNA USE IOS IPHONE APPS BUT THEY ARE NOT CONDUSIVE FOR SOME CRAZY REASON?

Needs To Fix Bugs

There are important things that need to be fixed, but not a total remodel of this APP. A complete overhaul would be a pain, just like what happens when most APPs do a remodel. A needed bug to fix would be changing time zones to standard names.

Last I checked, Cupertino is in the Pacific Standard time zone and Washington DC is in the Eastern Standard time zone. When I’m entering an appointment in Washington DC on the Calendar App, I expect to enter Eastern Standard Time.

Using other time zone entries than what is standard, causes a lot of difficulties, frustration, and missed appointments!

Useful now and then

I like how it’s set up when you open events, and I like how you can set it for all day, especially when somethings happening all day, I guess in my family sharing we share a calendar so I can see my parents in it, even though that’s none of my business, sometimes I have important events so I have time to jot down there on my calendar and schedule it for the time that I have to come, Apple‘s calendar is actually very useful, and you can also set alerts for your calendar to remind you when it’s time for the event, it has much better quality than Reminders that reminder as it is also pretty useful, especially with school, sometimes I wake up late and I’m late for school and reminders really helps me wake up in the morning so I don’t forget when it’s time to leave and when it’s time to wake up so I can leave

Made me more productive

So I like the app. It's changed my ways of planning and productivity.

I will suggest having a "return" travel options, since you have the travel time included, I think a return back to the from location as an option. Will be great

Also, I have seen the option of video calling as been added, which is great, makes joining meetings so much easier. Perhaps add the option of including your contacts so we can add the number of the person we are calling into the calendar

Issue with Event Location

Since the recent update, I’ve had a huge issue with event locations. I can either put in the name of the place that I’m going or the address, but the app can no longer find the exact place I’m looking for. For example, if I’m meeting a friend at a specific Cheesecake Factory for lunch and want to put that in my calendar, I’m more likely to only get hits on my search from multiple states away, even with location data turned on. This never used to be a problem (I could, in fact, search by location, which appears to no longer be an option). It’s super frustrating because I’m very directionally impaired and need this information to function. Fix this Apple!!!!

Killing my battery

Personally, I don’t mind the app itself. It’s easy to use, but is lacking in some finer details. However, that’s not the issue I’ve been having. I’m the past 10 days according to the battery statistics in the settings, the calendar app has been running in the background for 27 hours. It’s absolutely daring my battery and I can only get about two hours or so on a full charge if that. My battery life is only 87%, so I don’t think that’s the issue. I’ve tried everything to fix it that I’ve seen suggested online, but nothing short of deleting the app (which I did recently) has fixed this issue. This is a huge issue and because the calendar app killed my battery, it left me in stranded on the middle of downtown Atlanta at 2am without a way to contact anyone for help. I have no idea what to do and if it was the latest IOS that did it but something needs to be fixed.

Problems with iOS 15.1

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.”
