Calendar UI not very intuitive

This has always bugged me...perhaps someone can tell me it's been changed in iOS 9 before I update.

So I'm in the yearly view, and I hit 'Today'.
Now I'm in the monthly view with today's date highlighted in a circle.

But, I want to add an appointment to another day in the month so I tap that day.
But instead of bringing me to that day, it brings me to a list view of all my appointments for that entire month.
If I then hit the "+" to add anything, it will bring me to the first day I have an appointment in that month.

Unless I'm missing something, this is poorly unintuitive. When you select a day, it should bring you to that day.
