The current date and day of week is displayed right on the icon, there are multiple views, all notifications come through in a timely fashion – yeah, I’m happy with it. So after several years of avoiding the stock app, I now find myself back on it and actually enjoying it. It’s well designed and fun to use but in terms of navigating around it’s a little busy and again – I was still using it in conjunction with the stock app. I ended up back on TimePage for a while because it is free for me as I purchased the app when it first came out. I also find the subscription cost to be a little excessive, so I decided to look elsewhere. When they dropped Fantastical 3 I liked the redesign, but the weather integration is a bit sketchy (check out John Oliver’s show on the bit he did re: Accuweather) and unneeded. An ICS file will download to your default downloads location. Change 'webcal' to 'http', and then press Enter. I was also starting to wish for a “day” view within Fantastical and travel times, so I found myself always using two calendar apps the stock app for reliable notifications and Fantastical for creating events. Select and copy the URL (web address) from that shared calendar, and paste it to the address field in your browser do not press Enter or Return yet. my boss cancelling a meeting 15 mins before it starts would not show up in Fantastical). Also, a lot of notifications were being missed (e.g. It’s an amazing app no doubt, but there are some things it just couldn’t do as well as the stock app.įor one, shared calendar notifications (I share iCloud calendars w my family) are non-existent. In the weeks leading up to Fantastical 3, I was starting to rethink my use of Fantastical 2. I still need to check out that iOS widget app mentioned above. While part of me feels like I want to be using power apps, there’s another part of me that thinks I would be happier if I stopped worrying about apps and revenue models and what’s worth a subscription renewal and just used the stock calendar.Īnyways, the non-rational part of my brain has been enjoying this tour through the other calendar offerings. I may pop back into Fantasical to see if I really feel the difference. ![]() I’m sure there’s going to be some kind of clunk that trips me up but so far it’s been fine. On Mac I’ve been using the stock calendar and haven’t noticed. I still pop into Fantasical from time to time, but I haven’t set up an account just yet and that hesitation it does when it reloads and repopulates with calendar entries drives me nuts. ![]() I don’t use a lot of Reminders so that one view of just tasks that they have is wasted on me…but I am accidentally on that view a lot. The extra swipe to show the different views, and then the laundry list of views, slows me down. Getting around in Calendar 366 will take some getting used to for me. ![]() Also really like having the views always available across the top of the screen. I’ve been using Calendars 5 and I’m really liking the day and month views.
