calendarios
I want to add a historical date in the iOS Calendar app. To do this I currently have to flick through the date picker control like forever, until I roll back to where I want.
This is appalling slow and frustrating. Is there a way of just entering the date I want?
I use Week Calendar by UtiliTap instead of the built-in calendar - it's not a free app but it's not expensive and works really well.
I think this is how to do it.
First thing to do is enable time zone support within Calendar. Open Settings, select "Mail, Contacts and Calendars". Find "Time Zone Support" under Calendars and turn it on. It should automatically set the timezone to your current location, that's fine.
Then create your event in Calendar. The only important fields for scheduling the event correctly are the time and the timezone. Location for example doesn't affect it. Just enter the correct time (13:00 - 16:00) and set the timezone to a nearby city iOS will recognise like Las Vegas. Once you click Done you should see the event in your calendar with the time automatically converted to the time in your current time zone.
Then once you are in the US you need to remember to manually set the Calendar timezone under "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" to Las Vegas or another city in the Pacific Standard Time timezone.
Then your events should appear with the correct time.

For older dates it‘s easier to navigate to the date first, and enter the event there:
