I never thought I'd find a Calendar app liked so much but Fantastical has won me over. The integration for video / web meetings in particular is excellent. I also like the weather integration as well. Keep up the good work.

So sad. I paid a one time price for (great) software only to have it pulled out from under me. I will not have a calendar app draining my account every month.

Almost without exception, every negative review posted about Fantastical anywhere zeroes in on the pricey subscription - not the app itself, which is simply wrong. I don't like subscriptions, either but it's tough to deny Fantastical its throne in the digital calendar kingdom. If you disregard the subscription and focus on the app, there is simply not a better calendar app out there for macOS, iPadOS, or iOS. None!
If the subscription is too steep, then simply don't purchase it. There are a lot of free and less featureful calendar apps out there. But if you want the best, and don't mind paying for it, Fantastical is it.
