This is THE Calendar App
I kept putting off paying for the premium features of Fantastical. The subscription price can be a little intimidating for a calendar app. But it's proven to be worth it. What I love: - Templates - I have lots of repeating type appointments with different times and attendees. - Openings - Sending my availability by the type of meeting eliminates the back and forth and the need for another service. - Quick Entry - Natural Language works great. - Calendar Sets - I have way too many calendars to view at once. Being able to quickly view calendar sets has been a huge productivity boost. - Visual appeal - I think it's still a good-looking app even if it may be due for a refresh. What I don’t: - The Cost - Every year I think, “Do I need to pay for all these features?” Yet I always do.
