iOS 7 Calendar List View Gone?

Just updated to iOS 7 and it looks like List View in Calendar is gone? AAACCCK! With multiple shared calendars enabled (my wife's, kids school events etc.) I'm finding it very hard to see what my day(s) look like without scrolling like crazy through graphical representations of events. I'm accustomed to just viewing the list and scanning by color of events (for example my work calendar is green).


Am I missing a setting somewhere, or is this a casualty of the redesign? I'm hoping the former, but if it's the latter I'm about to cry!

Yeah, after fussing around with it for a while, I got it to toggle back to true list view, which I greatly prefer, but because I don't know how I exactly got here, which means I will continue to be worried that I will accidentally slip back into the "split" view which is basically useless on the small screen of an iPhone.

The deal seems to be this: The list icon (to the left of the search / magnifying glass icon) is a toggle.


Hold the phone vertically. If you're in month view, and that icon is red, you see all the days of the month with a 3-item scrollable list of events for the selected day. Tap the icon; it's no longer red, and the short list of events disappears. Now if you tap a day, it'll open in list view. Once in list view, the list icon toggles between list and day view.


The catch is that if you return to month view from day view, you must return to day view before you can toggle back to list view. A further complexity is that list view only works with the screen held vertically.


It's a confusing bit of design. Things were a lot more obvious in iOS 6: you just tapped where it said "list" and it would always go into list view. But if you play with this iOS 7.1 Calendar you'll find that it does follow rules, and its behavior is repeatable.

Just upgraded from iOS 6 to iOS 7.1, and not happy with the changes. I certainly don't like what Apple did to the Calendar App, because it's not as user friendly as it was before and I don't like the colors, they aren't as soothing as in iOS 6. If it wasn't broken then why fix it Apple?


I also don't like all the white screens in iOS 7.1, makes things too bright. Apple even ruined the Notes App, the yellow/white icon is terrible. And what happened to the Font choices for Notes?

Although this will show a list view for that day i need to see all items from previous & future months without having to click on each day individually - A view solely of listed items used to be available but no longer with the latest update. This makes it very possible for me to miss an upcoming event until the last moment when my alert rings (Now Max 1 week).

Is there a list option or do i have to wait/Hope until the next update?
