"A truly fantastic calendar"

What do you like best about Fantastical?

How to add entries in natural language and extend the entries easily and flexible. Besides, the UI is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fantastical?

nothing in special – at the beginning it was awkward that the collapsed view of the calendar-timeline showed only dates with entries, but this is helpful, on the other hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fantastical:

Get the family license! this helps to coordinate your private and business life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fantastical solving and how is that benefiting you?

really fast entry of appointments, in real time, so to say. It provides everything of the standard Apple Calendar, but offers a vast variety of improvements: different views, easy entry of reminders, shortcut entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastical easily syncs all of my calendars into one view"

What do you like best about Fantastical?

It's incredibly easy to intuitively schedule a calendar invite. By simply typing into the invite bar, I can tell the app that I want an event to recur every Tuesday at a particular location and it will not only create an event with that name, but will set it up as recurring and invite the proper people. Magic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fantastical?

The latest version has taken some getting used to. There have been little bugs here or there that have caused some sync issues across various platforms, but my assumption (and hope!) is that these bugs are short-lived and will be resolved within the next month or two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fantastical:

While it's a relatively high investment upfront ($40 for an app) it's worth it in the long run! Be sure to use the various calendar collections option -- it's life-changing to be able to easily switch from work-mode to home-mode and back again! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fantastical solving and how is that benefiting you?

The fact that I can sync all types of calendars is key -- not just Gmail or iCal, but those as well as Office 365 and others. It's one of the few calendar apps that I've seen successfully sync all apps across the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No other calendar app will do!"

What do you like best about Fantastical?

Very easy to make entries on the calendar, customise alerts and attach notes etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fantastical?

I've been using Fantastical for years and am still baffled by multiple entries for birthdays. I feel sure it's my own ineptitude, but the management of other calendars and contact lists is not as clear cut as I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fantastical:

There is not very much commitment to using a calendar app, so it's well worth trialling several before making a final choice. Over the years I've tried several other calendar apps but always returned to Fantastical because the others didn't measure up for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fantastical solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been a freelance designer for over three decades, so am very self-reliant. I struggle with keeping track of important dates when I'm absorbed in my work.

Being able to set up multiple alerts for different days and times is indispensable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the better mobile Calendar and Reminder Apps!"

What do you like best about Fantastical?

I love the ability to quickly create geo-location reminders... Ie, when I arrive home, do XXX. It helps to make sure I don't forget things. Especially great when leaving the office, (when Leave office, remind to XXX). It's incredibly easy to get in touch with your contacts. You have a to-do list that you can check things off throughout your day as you get them done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fantastical?

The only real downside is the cost. There is a little bit of an upfront cost, but once you realize everything that you get with the cost, it is easy to understand! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fantastical:

Don't let the up front cost of Fanatical stop you from trying out this product... It is WELL worth it, and you will be glad that you did. I know that I am, and productivity has definitely seen improvements! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fantastical solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being more productive, and with the ability to check off tasks, it ensures that you are complete by the end of the day. Wish I had this app sooner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
