This may be obvious, but I was just reminded by a friend to use siri to check my calendar events. It works like a charm. I just said, "Check my calendar for the week, and got the whole week's events. Easy solution, at least for me. God bless! Paula and Babe

You can get a sort of month view by backing out of the day view and flicking up and down using heading navigation, Also, On the day screen, you can use a three-finger swipe up and down to move you through, and show you ranges of hours in your day so you can more easily locate events. I.E. 9 AM to 5 PM etc. Doing this in landscape mode will show you smaller increments (4 hours as opposed to 8) which may be easier to work with. Note though, that the three-finger flicks seem to be backward in landscape mode. I'll check this further and write accessibil...@apple.com if necessary. Can you possibly verify this on your end as well? As for flicking, I'd really recommend sliding your finger down the screen. it's much faster. Hope this helps!

One thing I particularly dislike is having to see my entire day laid out and having to flick through hour by hour to find my appointment. I also miss having the month view and the ability to list all my appointments. I'm currently using vo calendar, but don't like that very much either as the layout seems quite odd. I also dislike having to use a calendar designed for vo users particularly. I should be able t o use the same calendar as everyone else without performing all kinds of acrobatics to do it. Sorry. The calendar is a particular sore spot with me right now.
