The default date picker is laughable. For example there is no way to control the format in which the date is displayed.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's shown in a format localised to the user, so... i'd much rather you keep your hands off that, and I'll enjoy my DD.MM.YYYY

ISO-style timestamps are the only only one that makes any sense.

YYYY-MM-DD or GTFO.

That would be easy, but if you have an app with localization then it's not useful. And also it's impossible to make the formatting consistent with other formatting in your app.
