When Calendar on the iPad isn’t set up well, it’s easy to fall back on the slow way of doing things — tapping through menus, missing helpful settings, and never quite feeling in control of your schedule. Without a simple walkthrough, even useful features like color-coded calendars, alerts, reminders, travel time, and widgets can get overlooked.
