Very easy to add new appointments
New appointment can be added by typing a sentence or speaking into the microphone on my IPhone. Also allows me to set multiple reminders. Very useful app.
AI Integration Killed The App
I’ve been a Fantastical user since they started, but recent changes have broken the app for me making it unusable.
After the most recent update, I was prompted to sign into my workplace account (which has worked just fine for years), only to find that Fantastical access to Microsoft 365 had been blocked. When I reached out to my IT department, they responded saying that it had been flagged by Microsoft due to their new AI and permissions it requested, and it could not be safely approved since it can be subject to prompt injection attacks.
I’ve forwarded the information to Flexibits (who have always been fantastic when bugs have cropped up) and hope for some sort of resolution in the near future. Since this isn’t a bug and an unintended consequence resulting from the AI boom, I’m afraid that this will be the first of many apps that are broken while companies figure out their responses to AI, agentic workflows, customer data privacy, etc.

A great combination of calendar and tasks
A great melding of calendar events with tasks; I use it to govern my whole life! Easy to enter items, and very reliable. Syncs well with iCloud and all my devices. A few minor glitches (such as entering a new task; if you go to enter a “note“ right after putting in the title, the cursor bounces right back up to the title, requiring you to scroll back down to click on “note” a second time). But overall a great app at very low cost.

No drag and drop?
Looks good but lacks basic functionality like drag and drop
Edit: 1. You don't respond to emails. 2. You can't help to "get something working" when the option is not available

Flexibits Premium
I spent way too much money to buy this app, for lifetime. Now, just a few years later, I can’t respond to an invitiation without having “Flexibit Premium”. Okay, thanks! Will go to Google Calendar, I won’t buy a lifetime subscription, plus also have to pay a monthly subscription. Thank you, I’m out!
