Never going back to Apple Calendar!
After having used the iOS version of Fantastical on multiple iPhones, I decided to buy it for my MacOS systems after having used BusyCal for years. I should have made the jump long ago.
One of the biggest headaches I had was centered around Reminders. While I was able to create custom, repeating reminders in FC on my iPhone, sometimes the reminder would repeat incorrectly on my MacOS systems due to the other Calendar app I was using there. This no longer happens! No more reminder alarms at 1am when they should be going off at 8pm.
Having a list of my Calendar and Reminder items on the left side of the screen and a different view (day/month/year) in the middle helps me schedule my life a lot easier than I thought it would be.
The ONLY complaint I have is the wish that there was 2 keystrokes to create a new reminder vs a new event instead of the single ⌘-N for all new items. Would save a mouse click when I need to switch to the creation of a reminder.
Setting it up was dead simple: I installed the app, it found all my accounts and my events/reminders just appeared. And this happened on my personal Macs as well as the one at work using Exchange!
