Hi, I do this regularly in my calendar app on my iPhone.
Whilst creating a new appointment: double-tap on the start date/time field. The first field is the date selector. The second field is hours selector. The third field is minutes selector. I use 24 hour time, so I do not have an AM/PM selector. The last field is the timezone. Double-tap on this field. Double-tap on the clear button. Type the name of the city in the search field, then right-flick through the suggestions. Double-tap on the correct city and the timezone will be set for the start time of the appointment. Now, the appointment will always reflect the correct local time, even when one travels. I use the calendar to schedule flights across timezones, and this is tracked correctly as well. To do so, after filling out the start time including the timezone field, fill out the end time including the timezone field for the destination, and the calendar will track and show both times converted to the local timezone. The nonconverted times can be checked in the appointment. In my opinion, the native calendar app on iOS is quite powerful.
