I have a simpler problem - I want a yearly calendar app (for Android) that just shows the yearly calendar (for any year), nothing else (no events, no reminders, no anything). Any app I find seems to disappear from the Play Store after a couple years. Bonus: show the weeks vertically.

  I second cal! Also I find bsdmainutils’s calendar quite amazing in its simplicity

  Haha, I talked about my bullet journal approach, but there is one time I always use cal... When I've resigned from a job, I'll always the output from cal, format it to full page in word in Courier, and grey out all the non-working days, and days before now and days after my last day in the job. And then print it out and cross off each day until I leave like an advent calendar! I've had this ritual for the last 6 jobs, going back to the early 2000s when I quit a job I really hated and literally looking forward to crossing off every single day was what kept me sane in the (3 month) notice period.

Re: bonus, are you asking for 52 columns and 7 rows?

  No. 3 months per row (so 4 rows). Within each month the weeks should be shown vertically (this was common when I was a kid, now even a google image search for yearly calendar shows only horizontal weeks).

Probably, the reason they disappear is that this is the sort of "finished software" that Google makes it very infuriating to keep on the store. On Android you can build an APK like this and it will literally work unmodified for a decade. Google can't stand that and makes you make changes to keep up with shifting policies.
