Customer Reviews
Awesome Program
I bought this a few months ago to manage my appointments, reminders, and even just quick notes I wanted to remember in the future and I have to say that this is one of the best apps I've bought - hands down. It is so intuitive and simple and, best of all, fast. I did have a weird little bug a few days ago where two icons were showing up in my menu bar for some odd reason, so I emailed them for support and they replied to me within an hour and it was fixed. So, five stars for an awesome product and for awesome support. :)
Seeing the popularity of this, I am a bit stunned that I'm the first one to write a review and I felt that I just had to, so as to let everyone else know how I feel about it. This would definitely be on my "must buy" list of apps.
Thanks for fixin' this SO fast!

(Crashing, but it leaves you with the chance to send a report! Its absolutely useless.)
Now it's:
Fantastic & great! Simply just working great! Bravo!
A joy to use
Really very, very well done. I find myself looking for opportunities to use Fantastical. I feel like the app is working for me, and I'm never fighting with it. Everything is very intuitive, and I'm never left wondering what the app will do when it hit enter, because the details get filled in right before my eyes as I'm typing. The most recent versions have added support for event editing and deletion, and extremely well-implemented support for repeating events (including end dates!).
The only element of Fantastical's parsing engine that I'd like to see improve in the future is its handling of phrases like "an hour and 15 minutes."
