I mean, to be fair, numbers 3 and 4 really aren't exclusive to Fantastical, but rather simple functions that can be done from any app if you've got them properly configured. I know there's a custom option for alerts, but off hand, I can't recall how versatile it is.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Tuesday, May 7, 2019 9:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fantastical Here are some reasons why I love Fantastical II: 1. You can set appointments and reminders in the same app. 2. There are more options for when you are alerted before an appointment, than the native iOS calendar, such as 10 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 to 12 hours, and between 3-7 days, or the ability to pick a certain date. I have used this to set several alerts 12 hours before a fasting blood work doctor appointment, to set a reminder to call my doctor a month ahead of time so I can get on their calendar, and so forth. 3. Whatever changes you make in Fantastical are immediately reflected in the native calendar, and vice versa. 4. If you have multiple calendars, like one for home, work, and family, you can specify which calendar an appointment appears on. I have started doing this to keep home, work and family appointments separated. 5. And the list goes on. In many ways, Fantastical is like other calendars one may use, but I love how they appeared to take what's good about other calendars and put it in one system. I bought it several years ago and haven't regretted the purchase.
