iPhone calendar freezes in IOS 11

Having wasted hours on the hapless performance of the Calendar in particular, I switched to using a Microsoft Account Calendar and Contacts Sync to my iPhone and so far so good. It grieves me to say it but I’m warming to the idea that more focus takes place on selling unquestionably excellent hardware at significant cost and high markup than creating and developing software that it deserves. As stated previously, the Calendar and Contacts must be one of the highest used apps that most IOS users need. If Apple can’t get these to work well, it doesn’t bode well for ‘lesser’ apps. I’m really very disappointed and annoyed that my substantial investment over the years of Apple hardware has not been rewarded by applications commensurate with said investment.

Dear Richard and Chopshy:

I wish yo had seen my response but once again Apple blocked it and brought it down.

I agree with you both. Good luck with your new MS solution and I cannot say anymore.

I don't want to be blocked again for expressing the truth at least all the attempts that I did in more than 12 IOS devices.

I was trying to give solutions and discover what is causing the problems in IOS Calendar and Contacts.

I did read your response (and most of your previous responses before it/they were blocked!)

It’s obvious you are extremely frustrated and I have some sympathy with this.

However, at some point it’s necessary to accept that the destiny of Apple apps is not under your control and that a choice needs to be made.

1. Abandon Apple devices

2. Hope that Apple respond to customer dissatisfaction and fix these issues (don’t hold your breath given the time this issue has been around)

3. Find a workaround, much as it sticks in the gut

I do hope you will continue to provide input but would respectfully suggest that such input will be more beneficial if totally constructive and therefore, not subject to Apple’s censure , resulting in its short-lived presence on this forum🔥

Regards. R

A few hundred people?? This effects everyone I know who has an iPhone, which is a few hundred people. So somebody's data is out of whack.

For the folks I know, they either don't understand it, have been unwilling take the time to research the issue and come to the support forum, or have given up entirely and gone to another calendar app (like Google).

What's amazing is that the app goes through all of this processing effort to make suggestions based on your contacts, email, Siri, messages, etc., and it still gets it wrong every single time. Here's a suggestion: stop trying to be helpful and just start working properly.

It's an incredibly frustrating problem and Apple needs to address it, plain and simple.

Over to you Apple.

Those are the only ones affected. Mine and my wife's work just fine, as do those of both of my sons and both of my daughters-in-law. I'm glad I'm not your friend and in that group of hundreds.

Hmm... do you actually have direct access to the data? If so, you should share it with this forum. I don't; I can only tell you what the people I know tell me. None of which actually addresses or solves the issue at hand.

OTOH, since it appears you are interested in making this personal, it would seem we are both lucky, though in different ways - I too am glad you are not part of either group.

Of course the Eagles won the Super Bowl, so there's that good news.

No. I was basing my conclusion on your data. Since I do not know a single friend, relative, neighbor that has the problem, I have to conclude that that the numbers in your post make sense is if it's only your friends that have the problem.

Yes, but not as much a nail-biter as their previous NFL championship (Pre-SuperBowl after the 1960 season).

It's not hundreds. it's millions who are affected!!!

Every time I post something That Apple doesn't agree, they put my comment down. 😟

Now I have learned that Apple does no wrong. That is what I should say. I should be a good boy.🙂

System IOS 11 is the best since white bread. 😉

Apple is the best. The one and only and they never have made any mistakes.😕

I hope they like my comment and you al can read it.😎

I’m running 11.2.5 on my ** new ** iPhone 8 & it’s still happening mid February 2018! Happens everytime with lengthy delays. Very frustrating as I’m frequently adding calendar events for work. When will Apple fix this? Regretting updating iPhone & not investigating the Galaxy 8

What's happening is the application wants to pull up a location that you have already used or is in your contacts list. The more you put a location in the calendar, the longer the list is that it has to search through. That's why some people have it and some don't. Some people don't put the location in their calendar event. Apple search funtionality ***** and that's why this application doesn't work well. There should just be a way to turn off the application trying to AutoFill. I would rather put in the location fresh each time rather that have my operating system lock up while it tries to find a previously used address.

It's not about not using apple anymore as some have suggested, it's about Apple not having the ability to properly test their software and it's about Apple's Q&A. That's the issue here.

Hello.

Its not you must be to use your nice words to talk about Apple. They no need some words fake like this 😬. Sometime they made your post and your moods came down because you post some things meaning out side

of The WhitePaper Apple Production . There are the Trademarks hope you understand that some words you type and post in here are all the peoples in the world can read it. Even you had any abilities and possible to do more than with your technology knowledge also. You should just to call Apple or chat live with them when had any confused. And so thankful alot that you want to supposed some person to solve their problem. But how can you know they are will to perfectly to understand and do it in progress or will made anythings bad than before time. If all of the world who are smart also so we are made Apple to sale like this. Lol.😂 and they no need to have the support from other. So that please understand for them. And keep your support to other one via the allowed that we able to assist insdide the Whitepaper meaning. This is originally objectives for all the people in the world. Thanks

I’m sorry I find your English hard to follow.

If you are suggesting that I should be active in sorting the issue out with Apple customer support, I think the responsibility to fix things once detected (months ago) lies with the multi-billion dollar corporation and not its user community. Just like in all other industries.

I agree with you tusharfromlondon.

Apple never does anything wrong. Apple is good. Apple works hard to solve problems. They never fail.

I learned to say things like this to keep the, happy but you, me and millions know the truth.

Happy day Apple.

Apple can't help you fix your problem unless you talk to them. As this is a problem experienced by a small number of users, it's unlikely that Apple has much data on it. Remember, they are not reading these forums. So, if you want Apple to help you, you have to let them know you have a problem. You can use the Contact Support link at the top right of every page of these forums.

I don't believe you've every replied to me. However, you seem to have a comment immediately above mine. It doesn't make much sense but, as there's no indication it has been edited by the Hosts, that's certainly not their fault.
