I made the jump (or trying to) from Android to IOS. I loathe the calender on IOS , can I DL my old samsung calndar from the IOS store and run it on my I 13??

There's the calendar app and there's the calendar data.

As far as the app is concerned: Unless Samsung makes an iOS version of their calendar app: No. (Seems highly unlikely.)

I don't know what Samsung's doing these days, but, used to be Samsung Android phones and tablets used the Google Calendar for calendar data storage. You can add your Google Calendar to the list of calendars managed by the iOS app.

If, as they've done with some other stuff (as I understand it), the calendar data storage is on Samsung's servers: I don't know if you can add that to your iOS calendar app. (Seems unlikely, but more likely than a Samsung iOS calendar app.)

But I suspect your problem is you don't like the iOS calendar app. In that case: There are certainly alternative calendar apps for iOS... I assume.

Yes, that is correct once I migrated over I lost the ability to look at my calendar app and see it in a monthly 30 day format, with each day having small notations that were readable as to what the particular reminder was set for that day. I am not able to make those small visible annotations on other calendar apps at least not that I'm aware of yet, any suggestions would be hugely appreciated. Currently I can look at the whole book at a glance and see what each day has lined up for it even though the font is small I'm still able to read it and visually see the whole month at one time and see each day's assignments on the map. With small annotations

There is a Google Calendar app for IOS

I guess the better question is, candy Google Calendar app allow for visible annotations when viewed in the monthly format this is the key feature that I'm looking for so I can literally look at the entire mud in each small square in the calendar contains a few simple characters or short words that tell me what is planned for that day, I can view the whole month by simply looking at it and I don't have to zoom in or zoom out or any of that stuff. Is the Google calendar app able to be customized in that manner? I appreciate your replies I have been a Android person since cell phones came out and I have just mailed migrated to an iPhone 13 and it is painful to say the least LOL

golddot, just look at the app on the app store and see what it can do. If it looks good, install it and try it. It's free. Takes nothing but a bit of your time.

Since the Google app. is free, you would be losing nothing but your time to check it out for yourself. The App Store lists dozens of free-of-cost calendar apps, I don't have the kindness in my heart to check them all out to find out which one you like best, sorry.

I suspect there are more than a few "best of" review sites on the 'net that might screen some of these packages.

In the monthly view you can see enough to make out what's there.
When you rotate it ninety degrees, it becomes a weekly view with all the text.
I don't see any way to change a setting to see the monthly view in the wider format.
I like it because it's sync'ed and viewable on my phone, I-pad and computer.

The computer version has the most options so if I'm entering a number of items I try to do it on the PC.

thank you 220-9er..i appreciate your reply.
I wasn't asking for anyone to DL anything for me, I just wanted ADVICE from someone who ALREADY HAD USED THE APP BEFORE.

There are plenty of calendar apps for the iPhone which are better than the rudimentary Apple one

As far as what the OP is asking, I think the best you can do is use Google Calendar

thank you sir

 
Not cheap, but I use BusyCal on iOS and macOS. They sync via iCloud. It combines the data from the Apple Calendar and Reminders apps.
 
You can add other calendars to BusyCal, such as US Holidays (the only added one I use).
 
Some people like Fantastical, but to me it is a bit overly glitzy.
