Well, you cannot rain on my parade since I don't have a parade to rain on. I never said Apple's calendar doesn't have a month view, I was just thanking the developer for providing a far more useful month view. The month view on Apple's calendar was fabulous in iOS 6. I find their month view in iOS 7 to be nothing short of annoying. That is a personal preference statement, not a declaration against anyone who might disagree. If you like the new Apple month view, I am very happy for you. It is sad that so often stating one's personal preference seems to bother some people.
