iPadOS 15.6.2
The Calendar app from Apple was installed on your iPad at the factory. You will find it to be an integral app working with many other Apple apps. Here are some best practices for organizing your life events. For example, when you add birthdates and anniversary dates to Contact cards, Calendar will alert you a week ahead of these events.
Checkout the online iPad User Guide Calendar chapter
There are four views of the calendar - you will find that one view is most helpful but switching to other views allows you to navigate easily: Day, Week, Month or Year at a glance.
Remember back in your working days, the Calendar display is similar to Daytimer, Franklin, Palm Pilot, etc.
Take time to look at the user interface of this app. Look for icons indicating Share or Add ( + ), Cancel and Done. Then look for other icons specific to this app.
Are you part of a group that meets together (like pre-pandemic times)? Add a new Calendar, set the color and name (something meaningful) for sharing events and all Apple participants can add/edit events. Android or Windows users should be able to view the calendar. Add a couple events - in the past present or future. Invite members of your group to join the calendar. See the online user guide for details.
Switch to the month view and scroll down to see upcoming months or scroll down to see previous months.
