Reminders functionality removed in IOS7 - please make IOS6 version available through App Store

Question

Hi,
I am a power user of Reminders (I have over 70 lists + average 10-40 items per list). I use it to access new and recurrent reminders typically via the TODAY list each day. I also use it to track items that I don't want to allocate a time to (such as Christmas shopping ideas throughout the year) but have the option to assign a day / time / priority / location / notes and recurrence if I need to. I use the Reminders to basically run my life.
I accidentally upgraded to IOS7 last year and found the 'new' version of Reminders actually provides less functionality than the old, not to mention the childish design and poor perfomance issues it created on my phone. In short, it no longer does the job.
For people who use the reminders for more than maybe 10 reminders in a day, the functionality is now useless. There was no calendar access to retrieve items pertaining to a specific day without having to scroll through (for me) hundreds of reminders - and I had no way to customise the view - aside from pick one childish colour over another childish colour. The interface 'feature' of different colours and different font sizes (dependent on the length of the reminder) makes it impossible to easily see items marked as priorities, when they are each due and when they became overdue. Against the white background, I could barely make out what the crayon colours were even saying.
Luckily for me, someone at Apple took the time to see how I was using Reminders and agreed that the 'new' version wasn't going to work - and they organised a new phone for me that still had the IOS6 version on it.
I'm now in the situation that I have tried and tested nearly every Task-related app available for iPhones. There is not one application that does everything that the IOS6 Reminders version does.
Assuming someone at Apple thinks they've done a really good job on the IOS7 version, I'm guessing they aren't about to lose face by reverting to the IOS6 version, so before I succumb to reverse-engineering the app and paying someone to build it the way it was ... I am hoping that Apple will have the courtesy of making the app available for download through the Apple Store. At least then it can enable it's loyal customers to benefit from core functionality that actually works as it was originally intended - and in the process, discourage those same customers from exploring alternate manufacturers as they are forced to upgrade from iPhone 4 / 4s / 5 / 5s / 5c.
Hopefully this will reach someone who is in some way, shape or form accountable for the Reminders App and is interested in user feedback.
Cheers

As I said ... I have downloaded every task manager - including Remember the Milk, Pocket Informant and Toodledo, as well as about 50 others - and none of them cover ALL of the functionality I need. They are NOT more designed for my type of use as they are time-centric rather than list-driven with a scheduling feature. I ALSO was a power user of Microsoft Outlook (prior to the iPhone even existing) as it was the only product capable of handling the categorisation, search and retrieve functions required to manage a significant number of tasks ... and even it doesn't handle the task management as effectively, simply and quickly as the IOS6 Reminders does. Hence, I moved all of my lists and schedules to Reminders so they were no longer calendar based and could take advantage of the iCloud back-ups + synchronisation across my mobile devices.
I'm not asking for suggestions on alternate products as I am capable of doing a 'search' on the App Store and even Google.
I am expecting that in the interests of improving their products based on their own community feedback, someone from Apple DOES at least monitor the discussions even if they aren't participating in them - and this is another portal to try and get them to see sense in making the previous functionality / look and feel / performance available as a download through the App Store. - and yes I would pay money for it.
