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.

Love BusyCal!
I love using this app!! Highly recommend it.
Great app
After updating their app to perform a well needed background refresh, the app became usable again. The features are second to none and I highly recommend it.
For the creator of the app, don't slip again on the background refresh. It took you ages to fix this issue and made then the app almost unusable.

Issues with Reminders synchronization
Inconsistent synchronization with Reminders in iOS 26.5.X.
Reminders does not work with BusyCal
I switched from using Fantastical to BusyCal, but when I tested it, i did not test the Reminder integration/sync feature, but when I decided to move forward getting the iOS app, I noticed that this feature is horrible.
Good features but buggy
Buggy drag and drop of events in week view, cannot select events just after midnight, when biometric unlock fails the password fallback doesn’t work. Sorting and display of overlapping events is inconsistent. Not very responsive, as scroll animations have fade-out behaviour and you have to wait for it to fully complete before adding/editing events. Missing features to copy paste events multiple times (i.e. drag over days to paste many). It seems like maybe the developer mostly optimises for the Mac companion.

It’s lagging at every point
Overall good app but it’s not running as smooth as other calendar apps. Lagging at every point which can be felt.
Great app
Fantastic app, but pls add Russian language support. TY
No Attachments or Templates
BusyCal is it very visually appealing app. It is missing a couple of key features. The ability to add attachments, this is available in almost every calendar app, including Apple and 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. One of the best features is the ability to link Contacts to Events and Task. This is a natural progression to be able to reach out to someone in an Event or Task should you need to contact them.

doesn't support busy/free field for events
doesn't support the busy/free toggle for events; also doesn't support orion or default browser, only safari google etc
Buggy
No matter how many times I uncheck calendars, they show back up in my widgets and on my watch within a day. I bought this app for those exact things but all I see is my company’s OOO calendar no matter how many times I uncheck it so I’m disappointed. I love the MacOs app but this one seems to be a waste of $10

One of my Top-5 Apps
The features in BusyCal are amazing. Apple tends to “appropriate” many developers’ features… for some Godforsaken reason, Apple went backward here (got rid of “Tasks”, initially released in iCal back in the Panther days. They (Apple) took away this functionality, almost as soon as they released it in a subsequent version (Tiger, i think), and BusyCal has been providing it since. Sadly, Apple keeps restricting their API… or this app would be even MORE functional. Excellent job over there as BusyCal . The ONE thing i wish they would do is update there website (particularly the user-guide) to reflect their updated interface whenever they make those changes it appears that many of the user guide pages are several versions old, still.
I’m pretty sure I am not taking full advantage of all this app can achieve, regarding the “Tasks” side of things. The ability to generate Custom Smart Lists — then repurpose them is under-utilized in my ADD world. Worth the cost for sure.

It is very good,but very expensive.
They sneak you in the front door with £9.99 iPhone app but then charge £60 for the Mac app! I can’t quite believe how expensive it is, and can’t justify that when other options are free or far cheaper. Apple calendar is my go too as it’s ubiquitous and simple. I WOULD use BusyCal on Mac but I just cannot justify that price. But once you start using BusyCal you want to use it across devices…

As good as it gets
I stumbled upon this app having used Fantastical, Calendars and numerous others too. This has blown me away with is many, many small details that can really make for a top design.
Widgets are equally great and plentiful. It integrates well with Todoist, Reminders and the like very well too.
Anyone who pays for Fantastical and the like should really look at this App and save yourselves a ton of cash.
What this App does is nail it period.

Très personnalisable et en français
Très riche en fonctionnalités et en bonnes idées comme la possibilité de regrouper des calendriers et basculer entres les groupes d’un tap
Really clean and useful calendar app
Really clean and lovely app. I tried a lot of different calendar apps because I’m very picky with widgets, and this app was the one that mostly gave me what I wanted and didn’t lock basic features like travel time behind price gouging subscriptions or scrape every bit of information the app could get out of me. Love how this is a one time payment, as well!
The one thing I would like to request though that would make this app 5 stars for me: an “agenda” widget that also has the heat map. In short, I would LOVE if the “Events List” Widget also showed the events that are happening tomorrow and the next day. The “Events List” widget feels very empty at the end of the day and I like seeing tomorrows events in the evening so I remember to set my alarm clock (I use the world’s most stupid bedside alarm bc I no longer trust Apple alarms).
Thank you for making this app!

Beste App!
BusyCal ist die beste Kalender App für Menschen mit vielen Terminen an einem Tag. In den anderen bekannten Kalender Apps sieht man in der Monatsansicht einfach nicht genügend Termine pro Tag. Den kleinen Hinweis am Rand, dass es noch mehr Termine gibt, übersieht man leicht. So kommt es zu verpassten Terminen, die man einfach nicht gesehen hat. Bei BusyCal ist das anders. Es werden erheblich mehr Termine angezeigt. Perfekt für meine Art einen Kalender zu nutzen!

Muito bom
Este app é incrível e está servindo muito bem no meu Homelab com calendários e lembretes autohospedados usando o Radicale. Recomendo a todo mundo. Se existe algo que posso pedir é, traduzam o app para Português do Brasil.
Great product but...
The product is great except it doesn't sync between Apple devices automatically. One needs to sync the device where a reminder has been modified (added or modified) and then sync the other device so they are both in sync. I have a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone and the synchronisation is a nightmare. Unless I am missing something in the settings, using BusyCal brings more issues than solutions. This sync issue should be addressed and sorted out for this product to keep its attractiveness.
