Fantastical is that substitute
for Apple Calendar you wanted, but balked at because of the $3.99 price tag.
Take it from us, Fantastical is worth it.
Fantastical’s
greatest feature is that the user can add events naturally. Instead of filling
in a number of information fields, simply type out the event details (or use
your voice if you’re on an iPhone 4S and up)
and Fantastical does the rest.
“Friday
evening work party at Olive
Garden” – Fantastical fills out the date, guesses a 6 p.m. start time, location
and description fields automatically.
The
calendar display is more attractive than Apple’s, too. A swipe motion changes
between week and month views. Little dots, in colors based on their respective
calendars, mark the number of events that day.
Fantastical
syncs with iCloud and Google calendars and can subscribe to
others without much fuss.
