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!

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

Click the magnifying glass at the top right. Should go into list view.

As a matter of fact the previous version of iOS allowed users to specify how they wanted to view their calendar.


Yes, we can get an app for that and have multiple calendars on the phone taking up more room and not syncing with our other devices (why I converted my stuff to apple). If you don't have anything nice or constructive to say, stay off the boards.

I agree with the concerns about the loss of the list below the month view. I have another concern. Is there a way to make the fonts for the events in Month view larger and brighter? I already used the Text Size slider and selected the Bold option, but neither of those options changed the appearance of the events in Month view, and I can barely see what they say. Thanks.

Hello,


I would like to add my two cents. 😀


ios7, kind of feels like Fisher Price met the Crayola Crayon named gray and made an operating system for children. Sorry, it's true, it's **** true. It feels a lot like my windows 8 device which I do enjoy.


Anyway's, that aside..


I am a professional businessman and unfortunately, I try not to allow this, but I live my daily life through my calendar. I am adding this post mainly as a bump for this topic and I do hope Apple views it and brings back the original daily tasks view for the selected calendar day. Make it an option, clicking the magnifying glass is not good enough. I don't feel like sorting through Trons' lines and grids to see what I have scheduled two hours from now. I like to know what's ahead of me. Like our original poster said, please consider this in a future update, because after being an iPhone user since the 3G, any other non iOS device is looking pretty nice right now.


Quickly - I love the new "view all sent, all attachments, all drafts" option for the mail, but **** you, I now have to swipe email to the left (instead of the right) to quickly archive or trash emails. It feels like I have been given a car that I am meant to drive in the UK!



Thanks for your time, everyone have a great day!

I have just updated to iOS7 and I hate the change, the phone is too bright, too much white and causes strain on my eyes.

Is there a way to keep old style design - like a custom skin with the darker white?

I tried inverting the colors in Accessibility helps on the eyes but it kills the pictures, I would like to keep the dark theme with normal color of the pictures.

Dont get me wrong .... I do like a lot of the new iOS7 features. Can be a bit bright on the eyes !!! ... but the Calender has to change to show a month view with short description of appointments times. And the dots are a bit too faint .. A colour would be easier to catch the eye (just a faint colour)


Day view is a waste of space .... and i mean that literally... a whole screen full of nothing.... until you scroll around to find maybe 1 or 2 appts.


Same goes for Reminders. another waste of time trying to manually enter it ..... Easier to get Siri to do it .


And as for having to SWIPE to answer a call .... now thats a WASTE OF TIME

100% agree, this is one of the big losses in iOS 7 that I've found so far.


Hoping it gets restored.


"week at a time" view with the list underneath isn't the same in that you can't see in those other days in the 'week' which do vs. do not have events scheduled. And yes, I see that you can slide the 'week' left and right, but being only able to see a few days, not the whole month, coupled with not showing which days have enents is where the usefulf functionality seems lost.


The month-at-a-time view pre-iOS 7 was useful because you could at a glance see which days in the coming days has events. Tap a day with a dot and quickly see the event list for that day.

Just want to also vote that they put back the month view with a list view when you choose a date. I loved that about the calendar in pre-ios7. Love the ical look but prefer to have the list option below the month view as my default view.

Another suggestion -Would be nice to have multiple color dots below date so you know what calendar the event is coming from. For those of us using multiple calendars

Glad there's a "work around" for seeing my day more easily, but that just makes me go from "HATE this!" to "REALLY DISLIKE" this.


I have something that repeats every day to remind a family member to take some medication. That means every day has a "dot". Really not useful.


I will NOT be upgrading my iPad until I have some sort of fix for this 😟

(Yes, I know the iPad will look different than the iPhone, but I'm not willing to risk it!)
