Disappointed but thank you

The dots are BACK!!! DEFINITELY a welcome (re)addition with Beta 3, but why not have the months scroll sideways (like the weeks do), and put the preview pane (back) under the months???

And color the dots to the calendar color. I have 4 calendar's here: Mine, Wifes, Sons and Family, and each is a different color. It would be great instead of a grey dot under the date the color of the calendar that has the item is displayed. If there are multiple different ones from different calendars then there is plenty of room for 4 or more dots under the date

I agree... and I think its coming. Why would they just use a grey one?

Possibly because apple doesn't want to re-add these features. It takes a few lines of code to get the colours back but apple have placed the look of ios 7 as much more important than features. It could have easily been implemented in beta 3 when they added dots. It doesn't take a lot of effort.

I have quite a few events on each day and I have like 10 different "calendars." It would be very messy (for me) to have all those dots. I just need the dot on the day like it used to be.

But I NEED the "at a glance / quick view" pane back at the bottom. Jumping to a day every time you tap a day is not going to work.

If this is how the BM is, I'll have to go with Fantastical. Sad, cuz I'd MUCH RATHER use stock iOS apps.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with this statement. The dots are very useful when doing a quick glance at the monthly view. I use month view almost exclusively to see what I have going on each day and the dots/appointment list under the month was very useful in iOS 6. I really hope they bring it back as I find the calendar useless without the dots.

Matter of opinion of course.

I agree wholeheartedly. I wrote a whole blog post about this.

I know . They used to be all about ease of use, now it's about how minimal it looks.
