None of those feel like must-haves, and a majority of Fantastical’s features are now locked behind a premium subscription. Fantastical’s new “Interesting Calendars” feature.

#FANTASTICAL ANDROID TV#

There’s also a new feature called “Interesting Calendars,” which lets you add calendars for holidays, sports schedules, TV shows, and more from within the app. There’s also a lot of small but nice-to-have additions, including weather forecasts right on your calendar and in meeting invites, dark mode, and Zoom integration. And if you already use calendar sets, which show you different calendars depending on your location, those now work across all platforms instead of just on Mac. Previously, Fantastical only supported iCloud Reminders. The app now also supports Todoist and Google Tasks, which means your to-do lists on those services can show up in Fantastical’s Tasks pane and alongside your calendar events. For example, you can now propose meeting times with other people, even if those people don’t use Fantastical. Today’s updates also bring some nice new features. (Prior to this change, each version of Fantastical had different features.) Flexibits will bring as many features as it can to Apple Watch, he says, but will have to abide by the limitations of the watchOS platform. The updated apps been completely rewritten, and the Mac, iPad, and iPhone apps all now have feature parity, Flexibits CEO Michael Simmons tells The Verge. And it might be worth it, as it’s become difficult to find a really great third-party calendar app these days, especially with some classic calendar apps like Sunrise having been shut down years ago. That said, if you’ve been turned off by Fantastical because of the $64.97 total to own the app across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, this new per-month price isn’t that much to spend to test the waters and try out Fantastical for the first time. The Mac, iPad, and iPhone apps now all have feature parity If you used Fantastical on iPhone, you’ll have to pay eight times more than the previous one-time purchase price, per year.

But if you used Fantastical on iPad, you’ll now have to pay four times more than the previous one-time purchase price, per year. You’ll get a whole year of Fantastical on Mac for $10 less than the previous one-time price, which isn’t bad.

That might seem like a good deal - but it depends on how much you use Fantastical, and on what platform. Starting today, though, you’ll be able to use the updated and fully-loaded Fantastical apps on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch with the new Fantastical Premium subscription, which will cost $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year. The iPhone app used to cost $4.99, the iPad app used to cost $9.99, and the Mac app used to cost $49.99. In the past, Fantastical apps were (relatively) expensive one-time purchases. Let’s talk about that new subscription model first. But today marks perhaps the biggest shift in Fantastical’s history.
