"All day" view unnecessary
All Day takes up too much visual real estate especially since most people don't have all day events. It should either be optional or take up a lot less room. Or show up only if there is an all day event

I try to keep outlook in a corner of my display and a non standard window size makes it unusable with the weird scale and todo. id like 8hrs of 30min event scale in 15% of display

While there are a lot of people working from home, a lot of people in an org, and multiple people on maternity leave, holiday or OOF - and I used to decline all day events in outlook calendar, but now I accept - I think it makes people feel better when you recognise them. But I don’t wan to then have to delete those all day events. Can we have a setting to collapse them into one row, with a name summary in that if I need to see who it is I can expand with a chevron or overflow option.

When you look on your agenda view, you need to scroll up and down to see all day. Some people have meetings outside thier working hours and want to capture it all in a glance. Other apps offer a view that show the full day in one screen (12am-12am). This is the only reason why I still have WeekCal installed on my iPhone.
I whould highly recommend that Outlook mobile team will adopt this suggestion and will implement it in the product. -

I may have to uninstall and find another app. This field and the two weeks of days at the top make it almost unusable. I have to echo another comment - how did this make it through user testing?

It’s wrong to have the iPhone display say “All done for the day” when it is 8 AM!!! Duh Huh!

The new monthly calendar would be useful if we could easily filter to eliminate all day events
Also would like to be able to filter by one or more categories

Yes please please get rid of that thing, or make it optional. And while you are at it get rid of the two lines od day selectors at the top, and compress the screen usage on things like month and day of the week. Half of the screen is used on non-productive items

Please remove this message when the Inbox is empty. My Inbox can be clear one minute and full the next so I am far from done for the day! I do like the hot air balloon.

PLEASE please reduce thesize of the calendar all day field at the top of each day. It wastes so much space. This has been on teyh list for nearly 2 years. When will you act? Or is there a way to reduce this? It was nmot va problem in earlier versions...

Mobile outlook makes all day events from 8am to 8pm instead of midnight to midnight.

I don't believe that Apple does any user testing. It would explain why I'm forced to put in a default time, when I know an event date months in advance, but TIME HAS NOT YET BEEN SET BY THE EVENT ORGANIZERS. Apple and its idiot savant developers have no grasp of the real world.

Need to shade the entire day when Busy or Out of Office, not just have the item at the top of the day. See how it looks in Outlook.

Agree with everyone. Total waste of space. Should only show up IF there is an all day event and then only take up as much space as needed. How did this make it through any user testing?

For some of us our day and week get started earlier than 8 AM Monday.
Could you add an option for us to customize times such that the default “Next week” time would be something like 6 AM?
Thank you,
Tim

You can currently only schedule in 15 minute windows, this is not realistic show be 5 minute windows.

When I have multiple conflicting meetings, I have to use agenda instead of 1 day view. Allowing 1 day view in landscape would make this easier.

I like being able to block a day - or range of days - when I'm on vacation. That way I don't inadvertently accept invitations for business meetings on those days. I find all day events that I can mark as 'out of office' very useful. However, I don't need to see the detail all the time. Would be enough to shade the entire day as ooo. Would take up no screen real estate. I can then just scroll up to midnight to what the event(s) for the day are.

I have an iPhone plus with 5.7" screen, why can't you fit a whole day 8~6pm in the portrait view ?
