My Experience with Poor Design

Two weeks ago, I began using the Calendar application on my iPhone to set my work and class schedule, errands, and social events. As I began entering each event, I started wondering how I would be notified prior to the events happening. I then started creating duplicate events: one to prepare myself for the event and the actual event itself. After I finished, I tried viewing my scheduled events from a wide scope, but all my phone was showing me was the days of the month and gray dots on them. It was very inconvenient to have and click on each day now to remember what I have! 

I then downloaded Google Calendar, which has been much better. I’m able to set up efficient reminders, see my events at a glance, and I have my calendar synced to all of my devices. 

My days of using the normal Calendar app are behind me!
