Krister, I don't think you are being picky at all. I am an all too common US citizen who only speaks English. Once upon a time I received a degree that said I was fluent in German, but that was a very long time ago and I've forgotten most of what I once knew. I have tremendous respect for

Part of the problem, as I see it, is the language parsing. Fantastical can break up full sentences into appointment names, locations, times, repeat intervals, and so on. Localization is just the translating of strings, so that the string used to display information is in the right language.

Hi, Please do so and let me know what comes out of it. I can see that there’s a great deal of work to be done if you want it localized, but won’t there be some gain too? I mean they could make more money from more countries if their app was localized, right? Did i say something silly now?

Krister, That is a bummer. However, I don't even use that feature of Fantastical anymore since I just use Siri, unless I want to create a repeating event. I've never tried Siri for that. Even if I did not have the natural language feature with Fantastical I still find it much much easier to

Other than the custom repeat function that's very useful in many ways like repeat for 8 times every week, I also love the search feature. Every once in a while the native calendar would garble the order of search results for a repeating event and it would make it useless for me. This never

The problem with the feature allowing you to type a common sentence and have it be translated into an appointment is that this only works in English, which is a great big show stopper for me. In fact, i don’t understand why Fantastical is even released here in the Swedish app store when you

Hi, What I love about Fantastical is you can write a sentence such as: Appointment on Monday at 2:00 PM. This will put in an event with those specifications. There are other sentences you can say, but that is just an expample. Yes, when you create an event, it is also on your native calendar,

I absolutely love Fantastical on iOS. I think it is incredibly simple to use. I only have one wish. When I touch a particular day in month view, I wish it would also announce the day of the week instead of just the date. It's minor though. :) It would just save me a bit of time when i am not
