Generally good app other than the predictive input feature which is TERRIBLE

I like Fantastical a lot. It’s really helped me get on top of my life and has plenty of good features. But MY GOD how I wish they did away with the predictive input algorithm. It’s like it was written by a 5 year old. “Oooo they said ‘when’ that must mean they want to set what comes after that to the date/time”… no… the sentence was a reminder to myself that said “Figure out when I can reschedule my dentist appointment to”. Or “Ooo they said ‘in’ that must mean what comes next should be sat as the location.” Again, no. The sentence was “fix drawer in the main room”, I didn’t want you to decide for me how that should be saved. The logic is so painfully simplistic that I just can’t understand how/why anyone would rely on it. There absolutely should be a setting in the app which allows you to toggle it on or off. The amount of pointless retyping I’ve had to do to correct its mistakes has been painful.

Trying to find something better
attabex
I’ve enjoyed trialing this app. But taking into consideration the pros and cons, it’s not working well enough for me to stick with it especially because of the cost. There are two main issues for me: 1) The little dots / bullet points are too small. Compared to iCal I’ve overlooked (missed/forgotten) more events in my calendar because it didn’t stand out enough. Why a bullet point for an event? The line style in iCal - and used across days in the horizontal - makes sense, as it communicates the duration of the event. Not to mention it’s easier to see.2) Sometimes I want the word ‘with’ or the day of the week in the title of the event. There needs to be a way to override the predictive feature. I’ve spent way too long typing and re-typing disappeared event titles - or worse, thought the event was in my calendar, not realising the event has flown off to the wrong day.
Developer Response
Thank you for the feedback on the bullet points being too small. We will take this into consideration. Concerning the title of the event, if you want your title to stay as you type it in Fantastical, there are ways to do that. Please contact us at flexibits.com/contact for more information.
High price for average app
Armin____
The price is ridiculous but enough people have rented about that.What happened with me is that even though I paid for a year, I stopped using the calendar after a month and reverted back to native iOS.Creating events and inviting someone is way more tedious than the native app. When inviting people, it doesn’t remember last added contacts so I each time have to type the entire email address. There are other clocks needed that you don’t need in other apps just to get an entry going. Lastly, the invites that people get look different and the ‘accept’ button prompts them to google rather than accepting in app.All in all, I don’t use this app anymore -irrespective of whether it’s paid or for free…
