Calendar apps need to get better with location changes

Mine didn't adjust for time zones after I flew to a new country. I almost missed a client call because of it, lol.

My phone once scheduled a 3 a.m. workout.

Swear my calendar is out to get me sometimes. Last month it had my dentist appointment listed for 4pm in the new timezone, but it was really at 1pm local time. I showed up after they closed. These apps act like no one ever gets on a plane. They store flight info, so why can't they just auto-adjust the whole day's schedule? It feels like such a simple fix.

@avery_flores17, I see your point, but how serious is this really? Calendars typically let you lock events to local time, which avoids these issues. Auto-adjusting could accidentally shift meetings with people in other countries. It's a hassle, but hardly a crisis!
