No Attachments or Templates

BusyCal does not have the ability to add attachments, this is available in almost every calendar app, including Apple.
Also no templates.
I feel these items would make this the perfect app. I have written the developer and was told there was no plans to add these features. I think that’s a big missed opportunity. Moving to app that has these features.

New User Wishlist

I use the app only on my iPhone. Sometimes I have 12 or more events that I need to shift to 1-3 days forward. Unfortunately that requires you to edit each event one at a time. A group “move” would be nice.

Support was amazing

I've been using the desktop version for years and finally switched back to an iPhone and as it's calender is lacking things 😳decided to buy BusyCal. The features were as I expected from using the desktop but I had a problem with syncing and decided to reach out to support and to be honest, wasn't expecting a helpful response like so many apps. But how wrong I was, the initial response was quick and although it took a few days to figure out what it was, they did 🎉. This is how support should be. Thank you.

Best calendar app in town

BusyCal is truly a joy to use, both on mobile and desktop. The only thing I wish the developers would add is support for smart filters in the mobile app, just like on desktop.

Used for years, continues to delight

Have use this app for many years, probably very close to its original release. Endless options for keeping track of multiple calendars, one of my favorites might be the flexibility in setting alarms. And, support is superb (to be clear, any problems have been on my end with failing hardware or requiring hand-holding during migration.) If you are simply living off of the Apple calendar, you are missing out!! Six+ stars for BusyCal.
