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.

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.
