Fantastical has been my go-to calendar solution now for 5 years. It does everything I need from the calendar app and I have high hopes for it’s future.After being upset about missing features I previously had (despite the assurance they won’t disappear) and the price, I decided to give it a go. Now the question is whatever Flexibits can deliver.Right now app is still bit buggy and sync with Apple Watch is very unpredictable.
For a power user, excellent

Let me start off by saying that I get the people who are angry or frustrated by this app changing its business model, but let’s face it, most apps these days charge a subscription fee because it’s a more sustainable business model.Now to the review itself, I’m blown away by this app. There are a few issues with syncing an Apple Watch 6, and I’m still trying to get a password login resolved, since after you create a Flexibits account with Apple ID there’s no option to change to password login if you want to log in to multiple devices, especially ones that you don’t want to sign in with your Apple ID with, and other apps have this, Figma being an example, where you just attempt to recover a forgotten password and with that you can sign in, but other than that everything is well thought through.I love the fact I see reminders as events in the my calendar. I also appreciate the Interesting Calendars feature, but the powerhouse of a calendar are the integrations, in this instance MS Teams 👌 and the fact I can check time zones!!! Massive addition, super helpful. But one thing I’d add is the ability to add time zones when I type e.g. EDT, or CST, or similar, not being forced to search by cities only.Otherwise I think this is currently the best calendar app you can get, so if you live in your calendar like I do, get it.

Overpriced application

After increasing the price of the annual subscription to more than 100 €, I refuse to pay this amount for the calendar and the task book (although quite good and I have no major objections to its functionality). Recently I have tried several alternatives (essential for me: 1. calendar and task book in 1 app, 2. synchronization of Exchange, Google and iCloud, 3. functional for all Apple operating systems). The Weekcal and Calendars apps (which I used to use as well) are half-baked and underdeveloped, however BusyCal has completely replaced Fantastical ( better in some ways and worse in others). It doesn't have a watch app, but that doesn't bother me so much and can be worked around.BusyCal costs about 1/3 of Fantastical annually. Sorry, that price is really too much.
