The ease of use when adding and editing events, along with the ability to view exactly where an event is and get directions to it are all features Apple should look into integrating into its own app. It makes managing your calendar and reminders easy, and it looks good while doing it. I wasn't convinced it would provide enough of a benefit over the Apple calendar app to justify spending a few dollars. I held out on buying Fantastical 2 due to the price. Having the app calculate travel time, including any traffic or construction encountered, would make having the location plotted within the app infinitely more useful.
Setting predefined alert times to remind you of an appointment is available, but what I would like to see is a custom alert time based on your current location and the location of the meeting. In my testing of Fantastical 2, I never had to go back in and edit the location I'd entered. Originally published at: Fantastical 3.3.5 - TidBITS Maintenance release for the calendar app with a variety of improvements and bug fixes. The calendar on OS X Mavericks does map out the location (when it can actually find the venue) and even figures drive time, but that doesn't cross over to iOS. Sure, Apple allows you to enter the location of an event, but it doesn't currently do anything with that information. This, again, is a big feature and advantage Fantastical 2 has over the default Apple Calendar app. Professor Albus Dumbledore must assign Newt Scamander and his fellow partners as Grindelwald begins to lead an army to eliminate all Muggles. With Jude Law, Cara Mahoney, Mads Mikkelsen, Eddie Redmayne.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore: Directed by David Yates. Tapping on an event in your calendar will open up the details screen. But being able to quickly add an event to your calendar, with the ability to go back and edit it later on, is valuable and extremely useful. Of course if you want to take a more granular approach to editing an entry, you'll still have that option. The same can be done when adding a reminder within Fantastical 2 by flipping a switch on the entry screen. The gesture makes switching views a natural motion, giving and taking away information with a flick. Upon first launch, there's a quick tutorial to demonstrate a gesture to expand and collapse the main calendar view from only five days to a month. In other words, if you have Google Calendar or another service setup and displaying in the Calendar app, that information will automatically display in Fantastical 2 without you having to independently authorize the app. Instead of requiring you to log into your Google or iCloud accounts to access your Calendar data, as other calendar apps do, Fantastical 2 uses the information that is already being synced to your iOS device through the official Calendar and Reminders apps. Once you've installed Fantastical 2 you'll need to grant the app access to some of your personal information. And there's no shortage of features in Fantastical 2.
