When traveling the calendar shows my appointments in local time, where I am at the moment. If I'm in Tokyo, for example, my 8 PM appointment next week in St Paul will show up as 5 AM. The settings are not the same for Mac and iOS, and there seems to be no way to globally force these applications to simply act as a paper calendar would, nor can I find any apps that will do that. It's crazy, frustrating and incomprehensible. I certainly understand why some people need that feature, but with computers this powerful those of us who don't need an option. This issue has been going on for years. I've dealt with any number of Apple support people both on the phone and at Genius Bars, and there's simply no way to get this to work.
On the Mac, there's a feature called "floating" which does that, but it has to be engaged for each appointment that I make, and it doesn't exist on iOS, so if I make an appointment on my phone I can't do that…
The question is, is there ANYTHING out there that can work as a simple paper calendar? Set it and forget it, what you put in is what you get. If I haven't explained myself clearly, I just want to ignore time zones completely, deal with absolute times.

Most third party calendar tools on iOS offer this. I can really recommend fantastical, which offers the option you're looking for. See this site.
