I like the new, minimalist Calendar app - I can still get the 'old' list view - just tap "Search".

I agree... I like it. You have to click the search button but before I was swiping between views anyway. I like different views for different purposes so I'm always switching between them.
FYI just discovered a free calendar app called THE GRID that has the month/daily event list mode that I wanted--- the colors to choose from are a little wonky, and i suggest under settings to turn off the "flatten" button to make the text more readable but it's pretty much what I wanted the stock ios7 calendar app to do and look like.
A choice to make the mute switch an orientation switch on iPad. Scott forstall got up on stage and said " our users want to have the choice". It was originally an orientation lock before they switched it to mute only.
I haven't been bothered by Calendar in iOS 7.
I also stopped using Calendar in iOS 7.
It wasn't a really a choice I actively made, it just happened.
Maybe that says something...

I think that's what Apple meant whe they carefully chose the word simple.
I also dislike the brighter design. It should be darker or at least give the user that option.
"Why kill a man, when can kill an idea?"
In this case, fortunatly, the man was not actually killed, only metaphorically speaking.
Now, they're wiping the idea, a good idea.
I don't know about the man, I don't know him.
But I just loved iOS' GUI. Now it looks like a Dummyphone.
This is just my opinion, and my opinion only.
Some people in these forums take it as an offense to the brand (or themselves)
I actually like it. Wasn't a fan of it in iOS6. I did put things on it but rarely checked them out. Now with its integration into the Today view I use it a lot.
The only change I'd make is probably an extended "Tomorrow" information. That's all. (Yes, being able to see a list of events by tapping onto a day was nice, but not critical imo)

Only if you set an alert for them and it appears as a notification in the All section basically.
----------
The whole Today/Tomorrow part in Notification Center could be improved, like at least being able to take you to the Calendar app directly and perhaps being able to see more information about the events you have today and/or tomorrow beyond just how many and just a small chunk of a few hours (which can often just be empty as the next event might be somewhat later than the displayed chunk of time).
The monthly view grey dots should be colour coordinated with events, birthdays or whatever calendars you have. The grey dots are just so wrong!
I don't even think I noticed the meaning of the dots because I have dots almost every day. I guess apple assumes if you're reliant on your iPhone calendar you probably purchased a different app? It's like they gave up making it useful.
Agree. No way anyone who used the month/agenda view in ios6 can consider the ios7 calendar an upgrade. It is a downgrade in every way shape and form. Fantastical or Agenda are great alternatives imo
I've just switched to Fantastical, I find it to be a much better calendar app than the new iOS 7 one.
The main complaint with me is the default view is devoid of useful content, you have to go hunting for things (such as the oddly placed list mode accessible when you tap the search button (?!)). The other complaint I have is that even in the list mode, the colour lines are too thin to properly allow me to identify the colour (I'm moderately colour-blind).
I can see what they tried to do with the calendar app but I think overall it's a fail.
