ios 8 calendar list view

I'm having the exact same problem.

OK, sorry if I am repeating any of the foregoing posts, but I finally have list-view working in iOS 8 (with the 8.0.2 update installed) on my iPhone 6 Plus....

First, I followed foregoing advice and turned off the calendar app — double click on the home button, scroll to the calendar, and give it the "up flick".

Then I returned to the Calendar app. Up comes the 2014 month grid (12 months displayed 3 columns x four rows).

Strangely, in this view tapping on the "Today" button at the bottom does nothing. That has to be a bug?

However, tapping on September brings up that month with today's date in a red ball and today's events in a list below the calendar.

But we want the scrolling list view, right? To get that, you have to tap on the icon on the top line to the left of the magnifying glass at the top. This seems to toggle on and off the "today's events view" below the monthly calendar.

When it is toggled off, you have the scrolling month view without today's events displayed (and, note that the back arrow in the upper left corner shows just the year "2014" not the month and year "Sep 2014").

From this scrolling month view (with just "2014" in the back arrow in the upper left corner), tap on ANY date in the scrolling calendar and you get the scrolling day view. Once in the scrolling list view, tapping on the Today button in the lower left corner actually does something — fast scrolls the list-view calendar to Today.

But, wait, there's more....

Once in the scrolling list view, tapping on the list icon (I guess you'd call it) on the top line to the left of the magnifying glass, toggles you into (and out of) a scrolling HOURLY view.

Frankly, the app is not intuitive, and probably better described as a bit of a fuster cluck. Hopefully our friends at Apple will sort it in future iOS 8 updates.

Hope this helps.

thanks!!! That worked! Very much appreciate your wisdom. And it is not intuitive at all.

One more thing (that i've just noticed)....

Once you get to the daily list view (as described in my previous post), turn the phone from portrait to landscape and you get a week view. (I don't find week-view very useful on a phone, not even something as big as the iPhone 6 Plus; still much prefer the daily list-view on a phone as, apparently, do most of the posters above).

This isn't really a bug but merely the fact that list view is just plain difficult to get to . It's become an undocumented feature as the list view button isn't "the view your looking for." The video below is for iOS7, but the solution is exactly the same in iOS8. Its surprisingly simple, but I occasionally forget before I realize I was working too hard to get my list view back.

Many thanks I've found my list of events now. 🙂

List view is still available in calendar iOS8. My experience is on iPhone 6 so may be different on 6 Plus. Use the icon to the left of the magnifying glass search icon in the upper right to change views, it looks like a small rectangle with two straight lines under it. In Month View (from year view tap on any month with no specific date selected). Tap that icon and a red box will appear around the icon and then tap any date then under the calendar you'll have an hourly listing of events for the date that is highlighted on the calendar. Now tap the red icon again and the red outline disappears then select any date, the icon will change to 3 dots with 3 short lines indicating list view and you'll have a list by hour for the date selected on the calendar. Now hit the icon again and a red box will appear and then you'll have a list view by date to scroll through. I found you need to go back to month view to get that icon to change from list view again. Where it gets tricky is the view behaves differently depending on if you tap the icon first or if you tap a specific date first and what view you were previously on so you need to play with it a little. If this sounds confusing it is but once you play with it a few times you figure it out.

I worked it out! I was having the same issue for the same reasons, had all my lectures on my Callander and wanted a tidy list view.

To get the continuous list view you tap the day with the "list button" (next to the search) turned OFF.

Hope this works, it did for me

Ezra- I had the same issue, go back to calendar across from 2014 it's lines double click the lines and it will get back to the view you want.

Lines---Maginfy Glass---+

Click the Lines, keep clicking until the view you want comes up.

Chris, thanks for your post. I would sometimes see the list, have no idea how I got there, and haven't gotten back there for a while. Very frustrating. Now I see how, though I don't know why Apple changed it to make it so much more difficult.

Change is hard... 😕

If you want the full rolling list of events, check the 'show all calendars' setting from the calendars at bottom of the screen. From the month view, touch the day and it should show the full list.

Thank you for the clear instructions. They worked for me.

The Calendar in iOS8 is not intuitive at all. I've been searching online to figure out how to get that list view which I use all the time, and came upon this thread, which was also confusing. Finally figured it out, but, boy, this is not good interface design. I hope Apple improves this.

I have read through this entire post thread, and here are my two cents. Yesterday, my iPhone 6 Plus calendar worked just fine, my list view worked properly, like many of the posts here stated. This morning, when I tried to delete one appointment of a series, every time I tried to delete it, the Calendar app disappeared. The phone went to the home screen. Double click on home button showed the calendar app still running. I shut it down, restarted calendar, and the same problem occurred numerous times. Oh well, I guess it was just some stray gamma rays...

Next, all of a sudden, the list view was gone! Yes, I know how the calendar in iOS 8 works! Pressing the little list icon only switched back and forth between the full calendar month view and the screen shown in ChrisJ4203's post on Sep 25, 2014 3:51 PM (the month calendar on top, and only one day's appointments list displayed below.). This is way too weird, since it worked perfectly yesterday. Rebooting hard and soft of the phone made no difference whatsoever. I finally took Thom_D's Sep 25, 2014 11:20 AM post advice and reset all settings. That worked, my list view is back, but what a pain in the @$$ to have to go through the phone setup and get it the way I want again.
