Granted I am on the 5s. But I don't see an issue with the native calendar. I even see an in box at the very end, I want to assume this is where my daily events would be stored, but I don't have a lot of appointments so I wouldn't know this. I was able to add 2 up coming appointments, and a monthly appointment with no issues. So paying 10 bucks for a app just for a little more ease is not my cup of tea. I like leanring new things and finding ways to make them work. JMO.
