Reviews

Behind functionally…

Dymmas on

Update to initial review: The developers have obviously been hard at work over the last few months, as the updates that have come through are really useful. Some real thought is going into making workflows easier without just copying functionality from the built-in iOS apps (long press of the today icon to bring up a date selector is brilliant, as is the long press to bring up an event type selector and drag for time period). Great work guys - keep it coming! Initial review: I started to write this review over a year ago - that BusyCal for iOS feels quite antiquated in terms of functionality and when compared with other modern calendar apps’ interfaces. Over a year later and no update to bring the app at the very least in line with other apps regarding features and functionality. It is slipping further behind. I adore the desktop app and am frustrated with the iOS version in comparison. Can we at least have the ability to create an event by long pressing a time in the calendar? Keyboard shortcuts for navigating / functionality / switching views? Long pressing the Home Screen icon to quickly add an event / task? Command T to go to Today for heaven’s sake!

Terrible. Not user friendly. Wants to sync in with other apps or emails. Don’t use if you just want a user friendly app to manually enter info. If your super tech savvy maybe this will work for you, but if you’re more after a basic calendar function try anything else!

Great

Best calendar app by far just a pity no Apple Watch app

Sync a letdown

PR Doctor on

Not bad. But syncing is so slow, sometimes non-existent, compared to Calandar and Calandar 366.

Thank you for fixing the bug

Update: 5 stars. The developer was very responsive and fixed the bug. Just a suggestion: is there a way to hide the “number of days overdue” on the Todo’s page? So that it looks less cluttered and each Todo row takes up less space.

Needs a widget

Good app, but in 2022 it’s not forgiveable to not support widgets!

Lacking features

AussieChobie on

Just purchased this and I am utterly disappointed with the lack of features. It feels very dated compared to its Mac counterpart. For iPhone and iPad, there’s really no reason to spend money on this. Fantastical, Calendars by Readdle or the native Apple calendar will do a much better job.

Best Calendar App
