FANTASTICAL 3 FREE
To use Fantastical 3, you have to sign up for a free Flexibits account, whether or not you subscribe to the new features. I’m a fan of the direct connection to calendar services, because a lot of the weird quirks I’ve experienced with my calendars end up being quirks of Apple’s calendar syncing system, including random duplicate alerts from both Calendar and Fantastical. It’s also connecting with Flexibits’s own new cloud service, which adds a slew of new features-and further possibilities down the line. With this release, Fantastical is now stepping away from its attachment to Apple’s built-in calendar database, adding the ability to connect to all sorts of calendar and task services.
FANTASTICAL 3 MAC
I’m not interested in the syncing or collaboration features, so I was pleased to see that at least the Mac app seems to work just fine without creating a Flexibits account. And if you had previously purchased version 2, you can keep using the non-free features that you had before. It also works in free mode, which includes most if not all of the features I regularly use. The new version is $39.96 per year for all platforms.
FANTASTICAL 3 FOR MAC
FANTASTICAL 3 FULL
Beautiful full screen modes on iPhone and iPad (and the Mac has never looked better). The one thing that is truly going to hurt it is the subscription model once everyone’s two-week free trials are up.A beautiful new user interface. I have been using it for over a week and it has already started making my life so much easier than before and more than in the previous version of it. If you are looking to see which features of the app are premium and which are not, click here. The reason I don’t mind it is that I don’t use the premium features that constitute the monthly or yearly price of the app and can use it the way I’m using it now without the premium upgrades. However, the issue is that I don’t think a subscription model is going to work for Fantastical. I get that the developers need to be paid so that they can have their lives and families. Sure, it looks nice and has a premium look to it, I get it.

FANTASTICAL 3 TV
With the way how all of our TV streaming services are becoming more and more reliant on subscriptions, I don’t see how or why any set of developers would charge (especially that much) for a calendar app. In fact, even the old $50 price for the Mac version was enough for me to look another way and find a way to get it for cheaper. That might be fine for the wealthy go-getter hustler, but for the average consumer, it truly is not worth either the monthly or yearly prices. Pricing for the premium version costs $4.99 a month or $39.99 per year. The only part where the app truly loses me is that, like many other apps in the App Store, the developers of the app, Flexibits, are moving towards a subscription model that someone like me would think would be unfeasible. It sounds stupid, but for me, I find it to be incredibly convenient. I would also like to highlight once again that when I add an event from my MacBook Pro, it is nice that I am able to get my calendars synced from the Mac to my iPhone. That right there is something that I have personally wanted for a while but did not know that I wanted it.Ī lot of what I have said here can also be said for the Mac version too. If you have one set for a specific day, you can schedule and it goes down as a reminder. In the app, you get to list the tasks you want to get done that day. The app also sort of combines reminders and tasks and forms it as one. I mean, how many times have you checked the weather after trying to make plans with someone for a certain day? Well, Fantastical 3 makes it so that it is all in one app now. To me, this is more so a feature that I think a lot of people wanted but did not know it yet. I do like the fact that it is easier now to change the look and format of how the Fantastical calendar looks, whereas previously, the new look was always an option that always had these weird gestures but was not very intuitive.Īnother feature that I like in the new version of Fantastical is that it shows the weather (provided by AccuWeather). Focusing on the iPhone and iPad versions the design looks and feels a lot like the previous version, despite the app saying that it has a new UI.
