What’s wrong with all this companies developing calendar apps that only support Google Calendar? God, they invested time into the Spotify integration but not into Exchange/Outlook support.

I just wish they could add iCal and reminders integration soon. Also tasks that auto schedule in a chosen timespan after they are marked as done.
@mr_red134 ай бұрын
This would change the apps I use too. I use Things for tasks but I use Reminders for a shared list with my wife. I then can see, for example, that I need to buy snacks for my kids field trip within Fantastical as it integrates with Reminders.
@mishkoala6 ай бұрын
I'm actually a huge fan of everything being based around a calendar, since everything is technically based on time. The ability to either integrate or add as a feature; tasks (not necessarily focused on time as much as actions), emails, and notes - I think is a total win, done well.
@mediawolf17 ай бұрын
"It makes more sense for an email app to add a calendar, then for a calendar app to add email." That's astute, and interesting to me because I ultimately concluded the same thing about task managers and calendars. I do have separate calendar, email, and todo app (Things 3). Each one is powerful and good at what it does. But, when I'm actively working on projects, the simple calendar view at the top of Things 3 is all I need for calendar. I don't need my full-blown calendar app, any more than I need email-unless the task involves email. So for me I'd say, it makes more sense for my task manager to have a simple calendar, then for my calendar app to have a less-than-stellar task manager.

Me sumo a esta opinión. El enfoque es parte esencial del sistema de trabajo productivo. Tener correos, tareas y calendarios juntos es una invitación a salirse del correo que debes ver, de la tarea que debes hacer o del evento a programar o revisar. Y, si alguien puede hacer todo a la vez y ser productivo genial, pero no creo que sea el "caso común".

Which 3 apps do you use? I use Things 3 and Google Calendar but I am thinking of deleting my Google calendars because when I edit recurring events within Fantastical or Apple Calendar, it duplicates the event, and I can’t delete events. I have to keep going into Google Calendar to edit them.

I hate when apps hide their pricing plans behind the login, absolutely no reason to do that unless you have regional pricing (which you can still show by letting the user choose their location). To me that basically screams "we don't really trust that our product/landing page is good enough to convince you yet, but you'll be a bit more invested once you create the account and more likely to subscribe". For me, that's a big no - once I see that the app hides their pricing behind the login, I'm not even going to consider creating an account. Also, it seems to be primarily a macOS/iOS calendar app that doesn't come with support for Apple's Calendar... weird.

@shenzhen2485 ай бұрын
Went to the webpage and it was extremely slow. Also, looking into the privacy , in the FAQ they say E2E encryption is planned, so it is not E2E right now, if understanding it correctly. With all the integrations possible, this then is a no-no for me.
@LuisRdzG107 ай бұрын
What I think about all of these calendars, is that Mac users don't need any of them, as any booking or activity can be done in their in build app, works like a charm, has push notifications, syncs between all your devices and all you need, and you don't have to pay a thing, or use another app...
@migueltoledo18847 ай бұрын
Looks great and has good features, but the price is incredibly ridiculous. Why should anyone pay those prices on an unproven, unfinished app compared to many others which are, at a cheaper cost?
@GracDonarski7 ай бұрын
Cause you believe in them and trust that they can build a much better product to help you do your stuff. The price isn't the only factor. It's very well designed. And they cannot do much without money. Also if you looked at their pricing in the app you would discover that they have Parity Pricing which makes it much more affordable for many countries. Not to mention that the app is basically free. The Pro thing adds email and you're "first" to get the new features which is just a way to support the developers if you want.

So it’s right now an Apple app, but it doesn’t integrate with iCal? That makes no sense, however Amie is not alone in that respect. The free version of Morgen gives you just one calendar integration, but at least they let you choose between google or iCal. Routine free only lets you integrate with Google, but says iCal is coming. A fair amount of the apps seem to favor Google, but I, like many, don’t want to be forced into big brother Google.

The app has a beautiful design!!! but functionality is minus basic, and the price is high (very). Integration must be two-way. Otherwise, it is not useful, and no one will jump to a new app. For people seeking such an app, Morgen is a better choice, although it requires further development (like many other apps).
