iOS 9 Calendar not responding to touch.

After updating to the new iOS, when I open the calendar app and try to select a date, I have to tap it 5-6 times before it will open the schedule. The touchscreen works great in all of my other apps. Never had an issue with the calendar until updating. Anyone else having this issue. Solutions?

iPhone 6, iOS 9

Not sure if this will help anyone else, but it seems to have fixed this issue for me--I clicked on Calendars at the bottom of the calendar screen, and it had checked the boxes beside every calendar I've ever had. I unchecked the box beside an old 'me.com' calendar, and now I'm able to tap on a day in the month view and it opens like it should.

Thanks for the suggestion, susie. This worked for me! I unchecked all of my calendars and then rechecked my Gmail calendar. Now I can access dates without double tapping. You've solved my issue completely! 😁 I'm still ticked off that it happened in the first place. And the last thing I would've thought of was to check the Calendar app's settings. Apple doesn't make checking settings as easy or intuitive as Android does IMO.
