Hey listen Fantastical, I’ve had your $40 subscription for a couple of years now. I’ve stuck with you even when you would just crash on my macbook every day to the point where I had to uninstall the desktop application entirely. I stuck with you because your mobile app on my phone works great, and I live by my phone calendar. I love being able to type in when and where an event will be and have it autofill the event. But I have to let you go—not only because I’m now in way more student debt and every penny counts, but also because I just spent 30 minutes trying to sign into both the updated desktop application and the iPad app using my Apple ID and had no success. I’m starting a program where I need my calendar on my tablet and my desktop at all times. And yeah I probably could wait to call tech support tomorrow to get assistance, but considering the update to the desktop app took a while for me, I think I’ll pass on waiting for this fix. I’ll probably come back once I can just rely on the mobile app again. Until then, goodbye Flexbits, goodbye Fantastical.PS Originally I had this at 3 stars. I’ve bumped it up to 4 because I truly used this app every day on my phone for years. And it probably works just fine on iPads and macbooks too. But I guess I’ll never know

Best calendar app out there

I’ve been using fantastical premium for 2+ years now, which in itself says a lot. It seems like, prior to that, I had downloaded any and every calendar and agenda app on the market. All of them had left me wanting…until Fantastical! It has as much or as little functionality and personalization as you want. Although, if you are a minimal user you’re probably better off with the default calendar app. I, on the other hand, juggle 4-5 different calendars. Personal, work, family and another organization that I’m part of are just a few. This lets me work within all of them and allows for easy distinction between them with colors to coordinate. You can also create multiple views of calendars, such as a “Master” Calendar with the core info. You can also create different view calendar groupings for whatever you may need them for. For example, you may want to see your kid’s school calendar activities and so you can have it set as a view with each child’s individual calendar’s grouped into one view. This eliminates having to switch back & forth. The only thing that could improve this calendar app is adding task and/or separate reminder integration. Currently, it does function with whatever separate system or app you may be using for task/reminder items but would be The Holy Grail of calendar apps if it had that built in. It’s also very user friendly & quite easy to get the hang of quickly -so if you’re worried about trying to figure it out, don’t be.

past 4 star review edit
ladymacintosh
my past review is below. I am so happy that it feels like my wish came true with the couple small issues i had because now they have been taken care of! I can have my app closed and still the icon shows the date, and there are even more updated features that i love, so way to go fantastical because i have finally deleted my ical [sorry, not sorry apple] and I am such a happy camper! just renewed my subscription for another year too, keep up the superb work and actually listening and responding to the wants of your users! my rating is definitely a 5 star one now!I absolutely love this app! It has replaced my reminders and calendar apps (almost!) completely. The one thing I keep my apple calendar around for, is to see the date on the icon, you know, as the icon image. It would be so fantastical if the developers could implement that as an option for the icon? I noticed that when I changed the icon in the phone app, it removed the date showing on my desktop app and even though I removed my ‘flat’ icon choice, the date hasn’t returned on my desktop icon’s dock. Otherwise though, this app has everything you need, keeps things intuitive and my favorite - the natural language input. It might be nice to be able to type ‘at my current location’ and have it enter your current location. If either of these things were updated I would, without hesitation, change my review to 5 stars for sure. Thanks for making an app that actually keeps me on time and let’s me add a bunch of alerts for one appointment! 👌🏻🎯👏🏻
