Fantastical Calendar App Reviews

Completed reminders continue to re-populate as be incomplete. Over & over. Apple watch is useless. You update a task or event in the app and it never updates on the watch.

Ive used Fantastical since it was first released and there is no better calendar app out there. The speed is unmatched and the natural langue event creation is top-notch. Buy this and you wont be disappointed.

The app works okay, but I find it irritating that you have to but a separate version for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Its not really worth the money, in my opinion.

Great app- both on the iPhone and Mac. I tried many calendar and task apps trying to keep up with an 80 hour work week in the hospitality industry and staying on top of family affairs. Fantastical 2 is a keeper. Request: please sync with Wunderlist. I cannot live without it and it would be amazing to have the best of both worlds and they sync together.

All calendar apps essentially supply the same basic info, however, this app is my main calendar app for one important reason: it is easy to read. Thank you for fixing the font accessibility issue. Easy to read at a quick glance is so much more valuable than other app developers seem to realize.

Id like to suggest something. When using reminders, I feel it would no more convenient if the checked items just fell away. Thanks.

Like how easy it is to use but there needs to be a way to view information on the calendar without clicking the actual date. Turning phone sideways should show a more detailed view of the month as a whole

Update : Looks like 9.3.1 causes some issues with the current version of the app. Very slow to open if the app is not already in memory. Didnt happen before this latest OS update. Beware. Been using it since original release and its always been rock solid. Thanks so much for updating for iPhone 6 so quickly!!

Fantastical is that kind of OK app which turns out to be a bit overvalued, even though many blogs out there love to review it enthusiastically. The UI is not as special as most people use to say. For instance, those black and red thick tabs in the event panel are too much far from the sober Apple standards. Please add some real killer features and improve this app look and feel for the productive and finesse mans sake.

This app keeps getting better with every update. Ive tried other calendar apps and keep coming back to Fantastical. The natural language parsing in this app is the best Ive seen. I love the way the app handles creating the event, meaning you can see the event "block" being updated realtime as you type so you can make sure its accurate before actually creating the event. The Today Widget is awesome and theres not any mention that Ive seen but you can create an event from the widget. Tap and hold down on a date and the app will launch to the event creation screen with the selected date prefilled.

Should have read the fine print. Only syncs with phone calendar. Wish I could get my money back.

Its probably one of the best calendar apps out there, but I bought it simply because of the Apple Watch support, and turned out its the only one feature that doesnt work!

-1 Star for location based reminders not firing. Great calendar with great location options for events & reminders. Best location options of the calendar apps Ive used. Its simplistic and easy to use with just enough options for the calendar. Press on a reminder after its created to look for options.

Absolutely needs a full calendar view on landscape mode, and would also prefer to have some type of full year overview. Other than that its great.

The amazingly intuitive natural input makes it for me. Along with colorful calendars and a wonderful landscape mode, this app is the most complete and user-friendly calendar app on the App Store.

Update: seems to be fixed again. Removing one star because sometimes syncing with Apple Watch doesnt work. Luckily I wasnt relying on the information on my Apple Watch alone. Only was broken for half a day this time after like 2 months of flawless working, so not a huge deal. Still well worth the money. Could be Apples or Watchs fault I suppose. Old one star review: Synced flawlessly with Apple Watch for over a month, now its broken again. The correct information displays on the fantastical app on my phone, and the correct information displays on my reminders app, but the watch app shows no events for today when there should be. When I open the app on my watch, its showing yesterdays events as overdue and doesnt show anything for today. Tried deleting, restarting etc. Super frustrating because thats why I bought the app, so I could see my reminders and events on my large complication on my watch. When it works its really helpful and awesome, when it doesnt work its really frustrating. This happened before, then got fixed, so not sure why this keeps happening.
