Really amazing calendar! The list-style for week would really put this thing over the top!

Better than Fantastical (you can buy it) and just as good in basically every way. Never looking back, but please consider adding the list-style but for a week :)

Btw it does natural date entry and has several well-developed views, their list-style is very aesthetic and intuitive

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much!

Awful! Everything is Locked. Nothing works.

This App should be called Calendar Brick. Nothing works.

I can’t enter any calendar entries. The calendar screens in this app might as well be screenshots.

It says I have no event calendar, for example, but I see no path to set one up. If there is some magic configuration required, I don’t see what it is. Help not helpful. No email for support.

All I want is a simple solo calendar app for iOS. No syncing. No connection to other services (other than Apple Calendar). No integration with location or contacts. Maybe there is a bug that it needs these permissions or sync to other calendars to work at all? (If so why?)

This app is completely useless for me.

Developer Response ,

Please use Settings > Accounts to add your iCloud account so that you’re able to add events.

DOES NOT WORK WITH APPLE REMINDERS

When Apple reminders updates their app, they removed the CalDAV communication with it. And busycal works on calDAV. So your reminders will NOT show up at all.

I downloaded the app, realized this, tried to get a refund but Apple refused. Contacted busycal and they have not responded. Thumbs down.

Developer Response ,

Please try v3.5.3. BusyCal now supports syncing directly with Reminders. Waiting for an updated review :)
