The accordion view is an excellent way to maximize the number of events seen on the screen at one time. For example an accordion view would compress unused times such that if I have an appointment at 3am, another at noon, and another at 10pm, I’d be able to see all of them in day view without scrolling.
I miss this view since switching from a Palm Treo to an Android (HTC Rezound). In the Treo, there was a setting called "Compress Day View." Unused times were compressed (not in view) so that the maximum number of appointments could fit on the screen without scrolling. Of course, if you have, for example, 10 appointments in one day, you would, of course, have to scroll. I realize that I can make the font/time smaller (i.e. 50%),to fit 24 hours on the screen, or that one could use the agenda view to see appointments without unfilled times, but I like to use day view.
FOR THE DEVELOPER: Another option could be to expand functionality of the “Day Start” and “Day End” setting under Day View settings. For example, instead of using the standard 12am to 12am for the day start and day end, one could use 8am to 5pm. This is currently an allowable setting. The problem is that if you set an appointment for 5am, for example, it will not show on the day view calendar under the 8am to 5pm day settings. If the program would allow to “Show Appointments Outside of Day Start / End”, the 5am appointment would also be displayed. Additionally, because the day has been minimized by using only an 8am to 5pm day, more appointment would naturally fit on the screen without the need for scrolling. Just a thought…
