iPad Calendar Scroll

Question

iPad Calendar Scroll

Hi

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with this strange issue with the Calendar App on my iPad:

Basically, it no longer scrolls forward reliably in Week view:

• A right to left swipe forward through time is ignored – unless it happens in the 'header' section of the week, where the dates and all day events are. Swipes in the 'middle' of the page don't register.

• Swipes backward through time - left to right - do work, anywhere on the page.

• It seems to be intermittent; mostly it's a problem in landscape orientation. Portrait usually works reliably backwards and forwards, and up and down (the left-right axis in landscape mode, of course)

• Other apps are not affected - the BBC News app, for example, which allows R>L scrolling through stories, or Photos, which also allows R>L scrolling through pictures.

I've tried resetting my iPad - though I restored again from my last backup (possibly stupid of me…). I also deleted a Calendar event I entered last night, before the problem emerged - I wondered if this was corrupt in some way.

Anyone come across this issue? Could it be related to Daylight Saving (which is still a couple of weeks off)? Any clues would be appreciated!

Exactly the same problem, really annoying as to view a week in the future the only way to do so seems to be to change to Day view, and scroll through the days before changing back to Week view.

Very annoying, Apple please resolve for us :-) Thanks

Pretty similar problems for me too.

I find that the only way to scroll forwards is to first scroll back a week or so. Then I can go back or forward with ease. However if I then go up or down through a day I then can't go forward until I've gone back again first!

Very annoying.

I have also been experiencing the same issue. The forward scrolling seems to work after scrolling back once, however, if I stop scrolling forward in a timely manner, I then have to scroll back again to continue forward!

I have just tried this in portrait view (as I normally use landscape) and it works fine.

Same for me, a slight scroll back (even only a few millimeters) then allows forward scroll until a scroll in any other direction. Scrolling works fine in portrait, and seems to work consistently if you scroll in the "all day" section of the calendar or on the day list above that. Pretty sure this was fine in 7.0, just not in more recent updates (currently running 7.1).

Same thing for me. Needs a tiny backwards scroll to be able to move forwards. Portrait works.

hello Same annoying bug. The scrolling from right to left on landscape mode. to make it work you have to go right once an then left from anywhere on the page. Another solution that works fine for me is to scroll with the finger precisely from top the "Day" line (Monday, tuesday...) after a while I got used to it.

But for me the major problem with iPad calendar -which I hope is a bug- is not to be able to open a specific day from the month view by a single tap on the date of the day. Has anyone this problem too ? To go to the day, you have to tap on week and it opens on a random week which obliges you to scroll again to the day you want. Am I clear ? PLEASE APPLE FIX THAT ISSUE. it used to work great on iOS 6 !!!!!!
