I have Fantastical on my iPhone. I’m new and it’s working great! I installed it on my Mac. This is where I’m having trouble. I signed in using my same credentials. It does not show anything in the calendar. I try to add an event and it says no calendar found. I pull the calendar drop down box down and there isn’t any calendars there either. I signed out of Fantasical on iPhone, created a new password, then signed back into both iPhone and Mac. Still not syncing. BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THERE IS NO SUPPORT! ### 5/5 — Mirroring is a godsend!!! *2026-08-21, version 4.1.18* Praise be to the mutha effin lawwwd ### 1/5 — Neurodivergent? How do you set anything up? How do you change things? *2026-08-17, version 4.1.18* I’m sure there are directions somewhere, but it isn’t intuitive for someone who’s autistic and has ADHD. ### 2/5 — No drag and drop? *2026-08-15, version 4.1.18* 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 Edit 3: drag and drop works in weekly view but not in monthly ### 1/5 — Better Calendars with no subscriptions *2026-08-09, version 4.1.17* Try first seed calendar and calendar 366. Both excellent ### 5/5 — Still a blessing! *2026-08-07, version 4.1.17* Siri still isn’t smart for most of us, so Fantastical is still a blessing to have! (Even when new Siri FINALLY allegedly arrives, I’ll probably still utilize the ease of copy and pasting a lot stuff/information into Fantastical and have it sort it into a logical calendar entry for me.) It’s not perfect but it’s overall reliable and super easy to use and then adjust calendar entires slightly for there if needed. A go-to essential app for all apple users still! ### 4/5 — PLEASE create a way to have “Urgent” enabled by DEFAULT for all or certain calendar events!!! *2026-08-06, version 4.1.17* Fantastical Team; You guys have made a pretty awesome product, but it's got one major issue. You have got to give us a way to have certain calendar events with the "Urgent" toggle enabled BY ***DEFAULT.*** I invested in this app because I have the moderate to severe ADHD and I also get pulled in a zillion different directions so I cannot remember to create a calendar event to remind me to do something, but then ALSO remember to set a reminder so that my calendar actually reminds me in the first place....... I'm honestly pretty surprised this isn't an option. I would be unbelievably appreciative if you guys implemented that, whether it's to have a specific calendar where all events are always marked as urgent or something..... I am a paying customer too by the way. Otherwise, really like this app. ### 5/5 — Very easy to add new appointments *2026-07-31, version 4.1.17* 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. ### 3/5 — AI Integration Killed The App *2026-07-31, version 4.1.17* 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. ### 5/5 — A great combination of calendar and tasks *2026-07-25, version 4.1.17* 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. ## Frequently asked questions about Fantastical Calendar ### What does Fantastical do?
