In reality, it also increases the chances that something may go wrong, and that is exactly what has happened...
The native Calendar app for Windows Phone 8.1 has just been updated.

The Windows Phone native calendar. Let’s not mince words, it was quite…basic. Limited views, restricted features – Microsoft practically forced third-party developers to make alternatives, such as Simple Calendar or Cal.
