So you can either try to manipulate the worlds smallest scroll wheel, use the whole height of the screen as a novel scroll UI never used anywhere else in iOS, or type in the time ... on a telephone keypad?
Yeah, totally intuitive. And where’s the ending time?
I don’t see why typing in the time is unintuitive—the keypad comes up, and you type. I agree that adjusting the end time is unintuitive, however; you have to drag the big calendar “up” to get to the “Ends” box. It seems like the calendar should disappear after you choose the date.
I’m going to play around with other calendar apps to remind myself how they handle setting start/end times, as this does feel clunky to me.
EDIT: Ok, so in Google Calendar, the big calendar disappears after you choose the date... you then choose the time (this applies both to start and end time). In Android, the calendar comes up as a separate little window, that goes away after you choose the date and click “OK”; in the iOS version of the app, the calendar automatically collapses after you select a date, and a scroll wheel appears for choosing the time.
In the new iOS Calendar app, it is definitely awkward that the calendar (date selector) never disappears until you click “Add” to complete the process of creating the new event.
