Can iOS 18 Calendar Finally Replace Fantastical?

I've been testing the iOS 18 Calendar and here is all the revamps. I am checking if it can replace fantastical which is a paid application on the pricy side.

This is literally something I was trying to look into thank you so much for your work

[@benscyberlife]

Glad it was helpful. Cheers!

@@benscyberlife fantastical is definitely still a lot better. However, the Calendar app is in the right direction finally after all these years. Cheers 🍻

I think we were all waiting for Apple to integrate Reminders into Calendars. I jump between Fantastical and TickTick and have settled on TickTick due to compatibility with iOS, Android, Mac & Windows.
Currently testing iOS18 on my spare iPhone and iPad and waiting for a more stable version so I can install it on my main iPhone and switch from TickTick to Apple Calendar/Reminders.
Thanks for the video.

iCloud interface is a bit weak for accessing Reminders and Calendar on non apple platforms. If you can get around that I'm sure you can switch to Calendar + Reminder accross your platforms.

This was a great comparison. One thing I was hoping to see in the video was if I wanted to switch back to the Apple Calendar from Fantastical, how would I migrate the Fantastical Calendar data to the Apple Calendar? Maybe you can do another video on that? Thank you, again! 🕊️🫶
