I think it's fair to say the the Lumia 920 Calendar app is pretty rudimentary.

I am looking for an app that will display both timed and all day events on the same wide live tile.

I have tried MyNextDays and Week8 and whilst they are both better than the in-built app neither allows me to do what I need to do?

Is it a Hotmail thing or a phone thing? For instance, if I ditched my Hotmail calendar and synced to Google instead would this solve my problem?

Any suggestions??

Thanks

I used "Chronos Calendar" and find that a better alternative as it has many display options which may suit your choice.
The developer has stated that it should be available in a wide tilde option SD soon and it does display app from your phone or MS account.

'AppoinTile' is the one I am using ...

Also have a look at 'VsysCalendar WP8' and  'Live Tile Agenda' at the MarketPlace...

When you think about it, it'd be good if Nokia got permission to release there own PIM app in there collection. This MS offering is pants

Thanks for the input folks - I had already tried a few including Chronos Calendar but without the wide tile, that one was a bit limited for my use.

I have elected to go with VsysCalendar. This has the best live tile for my use (although I still don't get why none have timed and all day on the same tile!) but I have to revert to the native calendar to review my schedule in detail.

Like GreyCounciller says, I'll just have to wait & hope that Nokia gets its act together and releases its own. The MS one is about as useless as the iPhone product.

Thanks again.

Didn't you have a look at 'Live Tile Agenda' ?

[Airbus]

Yes, thanks, I did. I was initially put off by the poor reviews but I threw caution to the wind and spent the £0.79 anyway!

It may have been the selection of events in my calendar at the time - I'm on leave - but it also appeared that if you checked the 'All Day Events' box, you eliminated the timed events from the tile

But mostly, it was because there was no calendar to review your schedule in more detail when you clicked on the tile. So I still needed a second tile for the native calendar.
