When I think about my calendar I don’t think in dates, I think of a traditional calendar view and the S-M-T-W-T-F-S layout. And the reason is because I’m a visual thinker. For me, the jury is still out on this one. My eyes don’t know where exactly to focus with two lists scrolling in different directions at the same time, and so I often find myself looking back and forth between the two instead of focusing on one list while looking for a specific day or event.Īnd yet, that’s not to say I’m convinced the DayTicker view is flawed. The way the 5-day ticker slides left-to-right while the event list scrolls top-to-bottom is a little bit jarring. However, as pretty as it may be, I’m still not fully sold on the DayTicker. Moreover, if you don’t want to type out a sentence, Fantastical still gives you the ability to create an event exactly as you would in Apple’s default Calendar app.Ĭalendar Views, the DayTicker, and My Visual Thinking Mojoįantastical has something I’ve never seen before: the DayTicker. But for maximum ease and speed you really need both thumbs available since you’re typing a normal sentence - Skydiving lessons tomorrow at 9 am. Siri can be great, but I still find it awkward to use Siri in a public setting, and she doesn’t exactly have a great track record of being accurate and frustration free.įantastical is, in my opinion, the easiest way to create a new event thanks to the natural language parser.Agenda (a very fine 3rd-party calendar app) has done a good job at making it easier to input a new event, but it is still a somewhat tedious task that requires many taps.The iPhone’s default Calendar app is okay at best when it comes to entering new events, but if you’re not creating an event for the very near future, it can take many taps to get the event created.Why does it always seem that I’m in a rush, or that someone is waiting on me when I’m trying to create a new event on my iPhone? Creating new events on the iPhone has never been a particularly easy or quick task. And (b) the DayTicker, which is a clever new way of displaying the upcoming days and events.

This is the headline feature of the Mac version that won me over last spring. There are two headline features: (a) The ability to create an event using natural language. Right now it’s $2 in the App Store, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. I’ve had it on my iPhone’s first Home screen for the past 6 weeks. You’ll probably be hearing a lot about it, and the good words are merited. Fantastical for iPhone is available today.
