I feel its interface is better than Apple Calendar. I would use it exclusively if I were confortable using it on the Mac also, either via the web interface, or otherwise.

I use Fantastical 2, $4.99, whose interface is vastly superior to the native iOS calendar in my opinion.

It draws its calendar data from the native calendar, but presents it in a much better format and gives more features than the native calendar. The developer makes sure it is VoiceOver accessible.

Though, I will say the custom reoccurrence settings in the native calendar app have gotten better than a few versions of iOS ago. I still prefer Fantastical.

I manage five different calendars and for convenience, I use the native app, Google Calendars and Fantastical 2. It is nice to have multiple accessible options.
I deal with upwards of 200 different calendar entries in any given month. Be it for business or personal, etc. I find it easier to have them seperated by app instead of havign them all in one and enabling/disabling or by flag or color to sort through.
