Simply Fantastic

This app is great. Easier to read and integrates perfectly with the native iPhone calendar and Google calendars.

Still in my top 3 app installs

Even being retired, there are so many bells and whistles you can customize, it make calendar keeping much more tidy.

The other two apps are 1Password and 1Blocker.

Good, but …

I wish there was a way treat events of equal length with more or less emphasis … Like I do in a planner. Some one hour events are generic work meetings and others are important events with people I care about. I would like to be able to view them differently.

Too expensive

$10/mo for a calendar is completely ridiculous

Outstanding

It’s the best app on my iPhone. It always keeps me on time for all my appointments and reminders of many other things like birthdays and anniversary. I absolutely love fantastical. I can’t live without this amazing app. Mine was free but I’ve heard it now costs. If needs to be FREE again.

Fantastic(al)

One of the only apps I actually happily pay for every year.

Great app

Great at doing the things a calendar app should do. Lots of flexibility

Great but too expensive for upgrade

Title says it all

iOS 27 Siri AI Native Calendar Smokes Fantastical

I was sceptical, but I started using the native iOS calendar since the new release, having been a fantastic user now for four years plus, and I have to say I think if enough people realise it, this is the beginning of the end for Fantastical, I don't know how it can go on any longer when the native free alternative does everything that the paid one does and it's so much faster.

Bien diseñado

Muy útil

The app choosing means I have no choice : (

You say that what I’ve typed into the location pane is always the top choice in the pop-up location window, sometimes I want to put the name of a book, or a flight number, or other key information that helps me with the recorded event. Those things are not what pops up and I don’t seem to be able to override the app’s choices. I hate this change!

Siri AI bug

When trying to use Siri AI on latest OS to create a reminder when fantastical is open I get "From Fantastical: There's no list available to add this task too." Works fine once I close fantastical.

Used to be great

Definitely going downhill after years of using it. Need a replacement, sick of the duplicate events.

Fundamental to my work

I am a professor and keeping my work calendar up to date with classes and meetings is key as the semesters go by. My schedule changes regularly, but the features of this app make things easier for me to quickly set up the start of the semester. I also like to keep my iCloud calendar the same as my work calendar so that my family can see when I am in class or a meeting, but they don’t need all of the information. I used to manually duplicate these events, but the new mirroring feature is a god send and automates this process for me instantly. It also allows me to duplicate l personal events to my work calendar as blocked time which has avoided so many issues this semester specifically when colleagues were trying to use my work schedule to make one-off meetings. I would recommend this app to anyone who lives by their calendars, especially a work and personal combo.

Heavy handed

I used to be able to make non-location notes in the location bar. Now the app steamrolls location links in that previously versatile bar so I can’t enter other helpful information. You know, not all appointments require a location. I strongly dislike this change. It kind of ruins what was my favorite calendar.

Attachments

It would be an excellent addition if attachments could be included to an event, like a PDF or JPEG.
