I have to admit, I have not used the native calendar app in a long time, I just went into it.
First, double tap on the day of the event you want to check. You will get a list of your appointments from that day forward. Touch the event you want more details on or want to edit. Flick up or down until it says details and double tap. I now have a screen with just that event, with an edit button in the upper right and a delete event button at the bottom of the screen just above the home button. It actually works quite well. I still prefer the ease of entering events in Fantastical 2 and in particular, the ease of setting up repeating events on say, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, etc. Once you get the hang of the phrasing, you can do those kinds of events in one string in Fantastical 2. But, for straight forward calendaring, I will say the native app seems to be just fine.

I don't see what it offers me, besides far easier appointment adding, that the native app does not. As to listing events, don't flick to them - you'll start way back in the past, as you discovered. Instead, touch the middle of the screen, or wherever the list is displayed, and you will land on the current or nearest event. You can't delete holiday events because those are on a public (read-only) calendar. The hint you hear, and the delete gesture, don't know that, so VoiceOver still presents the option even though it will do nothing. I'm not sure what you mean about not being able to view event details - double tapping an event should open that event. Again, the public holidays calendar may not support this, I'm not sure.

It pulls the information in your native Calendar app, but is much easier to use. If you are interested in more details about it, let me know and I will give you some more detailed examples. You may want to first read the app description in the app store. Fantastical 2 for iPhone - Calendar and Reminders by Flexibits Inc. https://appsto.re/us/2GhZQ.i Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

Sometimes I go into Calendar and click List, and get Holidays and Events starting June 2013, even though it’s now December 2014. If I one finger flick to delete, then double tap to delete, delete announces but delete doesn’t happen. Other times, I go to a date with an event. It states there is an event and announces to double tap the button to get details about the event. When I Double tap on the button, I only get a page with Calendar Headings but no info. Is there a recommended resource I can go to to figure out the native Calendar app using Voiceover? Any guidance will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
