Great support and longevity
It’s worked seamlessly for me for 10 years. In the few occasions of problems (minor like holidays loading ) support responded to my emails within hours and helped me solve the issues. Update : Still working seamlessly between my Apple devices. Love that the app has a minimal fee every two years to keep the software updated rather than the dreaded “monthly subscription” fee.
United StatesSync with Apple Calendars does not work
I really want to like the app. It looks nice and works for the most part. But for me, the ability to sync with the local calendars that are set up in iOS is vital; my employer does not allow to add my email/calendar account to third-party apps, only to iOS directly. Although the developer added this option to BusyCal, it does not work correctly: new and deleted events work as expected, but when I change an existing event, then this change is never reflected in BusyCal. The only way to make a changed event show up correctly again is to remove Apple calendars and re-add them again within BusyCal. This is not a feasible workaround. I really hope that this can be fixed and improved soon.
United Statesdoes not work
so i sync with my apple calendar …. and everything is good except that i can’t create a new event and it is impossible to do so. how should i do that ?
United StatesSolid app missing some key features
Recently moved from Fantastical, and am generally happy. Would really like for the colors of events to sync from the desktop busycal application and not sure I’ll stay with the app because it’s missing event templates where I can easily create those frequent appointments with doctor or trainer etc
United StatesDon’t bother
Cannot use outlook with this app. The “workaround” of using apple calendars is garbage. Waste of money
United StatesNo Microsoft Personal account support anymore
We have been a paying customer for years. We use to love this app, we have seen lots of progress with features over time. Until now, they haven’t kept up changing times. Microsoft has been warning about security changes for a long time and after lots of warning they forced their hand. Now BusyCal will not sync with any personal Microsoft or Hotmail accounts, only the enterprise Microsoft accounts. We are being forced to switch Fantastical app, after no luck with customer support to find a feasible fix or workaround. They are not having the issues syncing those Microsoft accounts.
United StatesFantastic features. Works for my brain.
Calendars 5 and Fantastical are nothing compared to this app. Your ability to schedule reminders as events on the calendar is fantastic. I really appreciate this app. Thank you all for making it! It also works beautifully with the Mac app. The feature parity is impressive. Thank you for not being a scummy subscription app.
