Fantastical calendar for mac#

I will hold on to the app, hoping that Flexibits makes a u-turn. Shameful, really! Not even Apple would do it that away. They know that many of the features they put on their subscription plan are useless for most people, so they ripped some basic features off from the exiting package and shoved them in the paid subscription version. I feel cheated out of the basic benefits I had in exchange for a load of crap useless features for me. This is a perfect example of a developer being GREEDY beyond the minimum respect for his longtime customers. Now, to push Fantastical 3's subscription plans they stripped Fantastical of basic features such as fullscreen view on iPhone. I loved the app which I used instead of the Apple calendar apps on all my devices. I have been a longtime user of Fantastical, although on and off, I have been using it since their first version. Fantastical has always been pricy, but changing from $50 once to $40 *per year* is ridiculous, and this bad choice is going to hurt the app's market share and discourage new user uptake, which is a shame because Fantastical is fantastic. So, in short, leaps and bounds better than any competitor, but room for improvement, and yes, the new subscription pricing is way too much. Shortcomings: User cannot choose to show empty days in the scrolling view (I want to see my empty days!), all-day events with short names appear side-by-side instead of in a list (which makes events just look like a jumble), I'd prefer timed events to be in a colored bar just like all-day events instead of just having a colored dot (should be an option), and v3 changed the Menu Bar dropdown to be white on top, so the fields for entering new events and searching now blend in with the calendar instead of standing out like they should.

The calendar sets are a huge improvement over every other app (with a keystroke, I can quickly switch between work calendars, private calendars, and calendars I share with family), the Menu Bar UI is great, v3 finally makes the full-screen view an actual app that you can reach via CMD+TAB.

Having said all that, Fantastical is still the best calendar app for Mac by leaps and bounds, with a much better UI and features nobody else has. Having said that, I don't use most of the premium features anyway (tasks, invites & scheduling, Hangouts/Zoom, templates), so do with that what you will. I do agree it's *way* overpriced (do the math: after 5 years you'll have paid $200!), but as a purchaser several years ago, the now-paid features I use (like multiple calendar sets and duplicate combining) haven't been taken away. I see a lot of people are upset about the new subscription model. Fixed an issue where Google shared calendars could erroneously appear to be deleted by users without access permissions.Fixed an issue where moving an invitation between calendars would show an error.Fixed an issue where the colors dots next to events went missing in the widgets.Fixed an issue where timed events would become all-day events when dragging between dates in month view.Fixed a crash when adding interesting calendars in certain languages.Fixed an issue where instances of recurring events could appear twice in the watch app.Improved VoiceOver support while adding accounts and managing Openings.Improved accessibility in the Openings Availability view.Improved experience when joining Zoom meetings as a host.Added the ability to use the option and shift key modifiers when responding to an event.Fixed an issue where the App Store version of Fantastical would crash on launch.
