Cons:

- No today widget.

- No Apple Watch app.

- No Siri Shortcuts.

- Can’t add a new calendar from within BusyCal have to back to native iOS calendar app, even after BusyCal’s integration with our iCloud account is suppose to be deeper and more substantial after needing an Apple ID App specific password to even add your iCloud account.

- Can’t tap and hold on the screen to add an event have to tap the plus sign.

- Can’t tap and hold on an event for duration sliders to appear so I can change the time, like native iOS Calendar, I have to go into menus.

- Unnecessary separate menus, multiple taps and tabs for changing the date and time. Just copy the Native iOS Calendar app. This is annoying.

- Drag and drop is slow and stutters.

- Have to subscribe to us holiday calendar manually using a link from their website on all three devices iPhone, iPad and Mac even though you add your iCloud account which has a us calendar subscription.

Pros:

- Reminders integration (I don’t use this is use OmniFocus)

- Time to leave notifications

- Vertical week view displaying three days without needing to turn the iPhone into landscape.

- Expandable day tabs in month view.

Conclusion...

This company has been around for a decade plus, I think it is inexcusable to be this far behind.
A today widget has been requested for years.
I want to be able to handle everything via BusyCal.

I’m very Disappointed.

I have been using BusyCal for Mac for years and I am a satisfied customer. I recently purchased BusyCal for iOS to see if it could replace Fantastical. So far it works well on my iPad but it is a bust on my iPhone running the latest iOS 11. On the iPhone it cannot add events. Half the time when I press + to add an event, nothing happens. When the new event screen does open, I enter the event info and when I press Done, nothing happens. The app just stalls. Also, you can't open an event to look at. You can select an existing event (obviously creatd in another calendar app) until the cows come home and the app just sits there and does nothing. I have restarted the phone to no avail. Something is seriously wrong here and needs to be fixed.

Update Jan 3, 2020. Had been working wel for a while but now BusyCal on iOS and Mac is choking on my exchange calendar. It absolutely refuses to update. So again it is unusable for me. The built-in calendar app is limited but at least it works.

I was so very excited for this app as it seemed to be perfect for what I needed! Calendar with Drive Time - check. Integrated reminders/tasks - maybe not. It took me a bit to figure out that I could not sync my reminders because they were “upgraded” with the iOS 13 update. A bit surprised as this wasn’t an issue in other calendar apps I tested. No big deal, right? I will just recreate them. Buuttt....you can’t create a task with subtasks. This here is pivotal in my organization. Otherwise my 30 individual tasks become cluttered in appearance and mentally overwhelming and then nothing gets done. Overall very disappointed, especially with the $4.99 price tag and no free “try-it” option. Nonetheless, I intent to keep it and look forward to improvements. Bare minimum he ability to create subtasks.
