I hate the apple standard app so basic, basic has its benefits though
Loving yours so far i see you have a few changes planned I'd also,like to see

(We use ipads at work and are going paperless, I use my hard copy desk diary everyday I'm trying to move away form It and use apps but there's not one that quite does it, this is close though .)

I would like to see ( wish I could build apps)

1.  Page per day so a large list can be displayed, takes up the whole screen.
2.  On that page per day cant you just type a note straight onto the page like you do in note pad app, would save time, tap and the keyboard appears as its only a note.
3. I'd like to see drag and drop an event to move things around
4. can't your icon  be like the apple version showing the day, badges are fine but would be better as a different icon, or has apple said no no to this.
5.  Seems to many clicks to edit and event front the month view 4 in total way to many
6. On the iPad some of the icons / buttons are to close to each other
7. What's the point of the badges ?? What would be perfect In the month view have the ability to put a post-it note on the screen with a quick reminder, say " call bob back "  the when its done press an x to delete it.
8. Okay very long list to top it off how about a keyboard update with cursors on it like in the Iwriter app

This is a bit of a list but you have a great feed back option especially where people can vote on items. 

 I have not found a Calendar / note taking app that's spot on this could be.... Keep up the good work. ( can we have this done by next week please :)
