Richard,
Again, star!
Thanks so much! I've got it working well now. I think the confusion came when
I was writing in braille and wanted to edit what I'd written, not realising
quite what was happening in the calendar's smart work. Now I have it! <Smiles>
Anyone not knowing yet which calendar to go for, I'd give this a go! If I
eventually succeed, I reckon you will, easily! <Smiles>

when the event is several months in the future?
I have that same version, Version 2.2.7 (416).
If you write the sentence with the subject as the first word, like "dentist
on november 20, 2015 at 6 Am," it should work.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your good suggestion. I see it's Version 2.2.7.
I was alerted to the fact that I may not have the Version 2 because Alex
wrote, earlier in this thread:
"Some people also like the Fantastical app for this purpose, since you can
type something like "appointment on November 4 ant 6" and it will figure out
when the event is automatically."
I tried that but just ccouldn't get it to work, hence my thinking that I
may not have Fantastical 2. Also, nowhere (apart from the HELP, do I hear the
2 spoken, so not when I am on the app or anywhere else in it.
Anyway, if you or Alex, or anyone else, are able to give me any feedback,
that will be good; otherwise I'll do as you suggest and write the author.
Thanks and hope this isn't too difficult to understand.

Fantastical 2 is the updated version from a couple years ago at least.
I don't remember if I had to buy the new version.
First, why don't you go into Fantastical and double tap on settings and
scroll to the last item which says About Fantastical and double check which
version you have.
Then you could write the developer if it isn't Fantastical 2 to ask your
questions since I can't remember what changed.
The address is:

I got Fantastical some while back. Is Fantastical2 another app, which
I'd now have to buy separately from Fantastical? What are the differences in
the two versions?

I have not used the native calendar app for a long time.
I opened it and it proved to me why Fantastical 2 is a superior
calendar.
Try this with the native app:
1. Get to your desired month.
2.
Make sure where it says "list button" it is not selected. If it says
selected, double tap and it will not say selected.
3. Find your day and double tap.
4. Turn the rotor to events and flick up or down.
If that doesn't help, buy Fantastical 2 which will access all your
events from the native calendar, etc.
That is my very biased and jaded opinion.
Feel free to ignore me.
I'm spending too much time fighting with other technology today, so
probably have a more negative reaction to the Calendar than it deserves.
Later,
Richard

Hi, Richard.
Tried it again. No luck.
Yes, I’m in the month view.
I go to July and make sure VO speaks Selected List button.
I go to July 13, and VO speaks 2 Events.
I double tap.
I go to the area you suggested. VO speaks No Events. I flick back
once, and get the last day of July, July 31.
Still stumped.

Keith,
Are you in the month view when you double tap on the date with the
events?
If you are, then you will find them at the bottom of the screen
just under the last week of the month.
The month view is like a wall calendar with each week across the
screen, so the month takes about 5 lines.
Then under the last Sunday of the month if you have the weeks
starting on Sunday, you will find your events for that day.
HTH,
Richard

Thanks, Alex.
I listened to your very well done podcast twice, and followed
along. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it to work by any of the 3 methods on
either go around, with Selected List Button, then double tap on a date with
stated event, then touch screen; unselected List , double tap, touch screen,
and use rotor; or Selected List button, touch screen, and change to Headings.
The date I chose had 2 events spoken, but nothing was there. VO
simply announced No Events or Heading Not Found.
I’m running iOS 8.3 on an iPhone 6.
Could there be a setting somewhere that’s not right
I’m stumped.
Also, I tried Fantastical. It certainly appears promising, but it
seemed somewhat erratic on my first try – Jumping from May 2015 to December
2014 with a simple flick, and somehow deleting an event from a week later than
the date I had selected. Could be operator error, too. I’ll keep trying, but
would like to get the native iOS app working.
Thanks, Keith

The event did appear, but it did so silently. :) Right below the
grid of days you'll find a list of all events for the selected day, right on
the same screen as the grid. I did a podcast on the two possible list modes,
because the feature is great, but confusing. Here's the link:

That worked great, Alex. Thanks.
I went back to double-check the event I added, found the date, it
said 1 Event Button, Double tap too View Events on this Day.
When I double tap, I get no events but it states, August,
Selected List Button, Search Button, Add Button, Today Button, Calendars
Button, Inbox Button.
Couldn’t figure out what to do from there. Any guidance?
Again, thanks in advance. Keith

If you're in Month View, so you can see all the days of the month
on the screen, just touch a day and use three-finger swipes up or down to move
month by month. This should get you to the right place relatively fast. Some
people also like the Fantastical app for this purpose, since you can type
something like "appointment on November 4 ant 6" and it will figure out when
the event is automatically.

Hi,
When I set a future event in iOS Calendar, I usually start with
Today view, but then have to advance to a future date 1 day at a time, which,
for something several months in the future, is kind of tedious.
What's the best way to schedule an event for several months
out? Any other tips on efficient use of Calendar appreciated, also.
Thanks in advance. Keith
