Well, even before Fantastical moved to the subscription model, I was having huge issues with it. As I navigate through, it would magically jump to the year 2023 or 2024 as I moved forward. I initially thought the problems were my doing because I touched the keyboard in the wrong place or something. But I’m pretty competent at that kind of thing so I ultimately knew it wasn’t my fault.
I really loved how Voiceover worked with Fantastical at one point. But today, when I tried it again and contemplated paying for the subscription, it still demonstrated the same strange behavior. I guess what I am wondering is whether others are experiencing unpredictable behavior when attempting to navigate between days. I am probably not going to pay for it but would like to use it as a free app if it will work I still prefer it over the native calendar.
