おおむね満足だが

googletaskが表示できるものは他にもあるが、完了処理できるものは珍しいので○。
ウィジェットでタスクが表示できない、同期に問題あってリセットが必要なることがあるので改善してほしい。あといつまでも設定画面の同期がいつまでもグルグルしてるのは大問題。いつ終わるの？

The best

Absolutely worth it. I’ve used it for years. No other calendar app compares for functionality, flexibility, simplicity.

Still not compatible with 2do

2do (the other app maintained by this developer) has just been rewritten but still BusyCal can't link to the to-items from 2do.

Great stuff

Terrific app. Full functionality on everything I expected. And the icing on the cake: no monthly subscription. I don’t have to pay the rest of my life for absolutely no reason. Spread the word: the developers have smarts AND integrity!
