Just registered in this forum to show my support for this issue.
I have tried probably ALL the Calendar apps in the iTunes store and NONE is as good as Week Cal HD.
I am getting by with the inferior "Calendars 3.0" app and refreshing the utilitytap website for an update every day!!
Not impressed with the bully attitude that Apple is showing.
Dont want to imagine how much arrogant they will be when the app market gets 10 times bigger.
I had a problem where nothing in my iCal's ever matched between my iPhone and any of my iMacs. No one who used to see my schedule could see it ever since I did the iCloud shuffle. Funny, most didn't say anything because they thought they deserved it... 
What I found was this page that tells of an issue with iCal when the change to iCloud happens, and apparently breaks something, or something isn't set properly. This worked for me at least...
Linky-poo
People started gett ing them again right away. THEN people called me...

Ahh, I've seen this too. I wondered what the f$#k Apple was trying to show there... I'm used to s^&t like Outlook on the peecee and Apple's kind of calendar crap wouldn't fly, or walk...
One of the biggest bitches that I have with calendaring with Apple computers and devices is that it takes EXTRA LONG to get to the bloody point where you can add a freaking event! It's a major PITA for EACH and EVERY entry! I half expect that the Apple developers used peecee outlook on their desks and inflict iCal on Apple's users because they are psychotic butt holes... iCal is a POS on a good day, and a motive for homicide on a bad one. I mean, maybe I'm just not into the 'correct way' to enter events but most of the time I just 'get 'r done' and to heck with the details. It's just too damn time consuming. I mean entering 20+ calendar items is excruciating... I've often thought of using Outlook to generate the dates and have iCal import them all correct... I mean, for Ford's sake, can't the geniuses at Apple development fix this?
I feel the OP's pain. Seriously. iCal coupled with a broken iCloud is like trying to mop the floor with a dead cat. It's just nearly pointless... Is iCal a 'feature'? Is that the way it's supposed to work? Well, then so I guess that the Windows BSOD, and the Mac OSX beach ball are 'features' too... I see the damn things enough. (And what's up with FireFox? Who crossed it with a CPU hog?)
Yes, I'm venting. Many times I'm entering iCal events I'm consumed with the idea of getting some other life form to enter the stuff in because it is just nasty... This is time spent working on a program from a company that pats itself on the back for such wonderful UI technology and iCal, and calendar on the devices is like a cruel joke... Just because Apple is the closest thing to perfect in phone technology doesn't mean that we have to be silent with this stinking issue... I men, hell man... Whatever...

I don't believe the reason for the app being pulled is known? (or has been stated in this thread.)
There are a ton of calendar apps in the App Store, so I doubt the reason is duplicating functionality of native apps.
It might be they're violating something in the terms of service. If so, hopefully they could just make necessary changes so the app will be reinstated.
EDIT- Here's some more info-

I'm still really bummed by Apple's refusal to allow Week Calendar HD back on to the App Store. The app suffers by being too good, that's the problem.
The built-in Calendar is poor, the built-in Contacts is worse. I had a better Contacts app on my Palm Pilot 13 years ago.
If something has been violated, Apple should tell the developer what it is so that they can re-submit. I've wanted to contact someone at Apple and pass on my frustration for ages. It's stupidity like this why so many people hate the approval process.
iOS and may of the system apps are a joke and it's no wonder Forstall was given his marching orders. If iOS doesn't improve, and quickly, they will struggle to hold on to the remaining market share they have.
