Fantastical 2 vs Fantastical

Fantastical makes it really easy to add events using their superb natural language parser. For instance, an entry like "breakfast at 9am at The Diner" will be handled correctly.

In addition to their best in class natural language processing, Fantastical has awesome features such as allowing users to append "/work" or "/personal" in order to add events to the specified calendar and setting up abbreviations that will add snippets of text.

Google, iCloud, Facebook, CalDAV, Exchanged, and iPhone calendar are all supported out of the box.

Although pretty simple, the Dayticker view, located at the top of the user interface, is simply fantastic for quickly seeing which days are booked out. It also acts as a convenient way to add new events (long press on a day).

The app displays inline map of the event's provided location. Additionally, users can choose between Apple's Maps or Google's Maps applications to use the feature with.

Using the natural language parser, reminders can be added with the keywords "reminder", "todo", "task", or "remind me to."

Existing reminders can be used or adde with Siri.

With Fantastical 2, the calendar can be accessed through a widget in order to save time.

Fantastical 2 lets users flick, scroll, and swipe to quickly move through different views and types of information.

Tasks can be color coordinated in order to see their categories at a glance.

The divider between the two views can be dragged for customized viewing.

If you're locked into using an Exchange account, Google Calendar won't work without 3rd party syncing options. Fantastical works flawlessly with Exchange and with Google Accounts so you can have both. It also supports iCloud, Office365, Yahoo, and Facebook calendars.

You can copy and paste a line from a meeting note and Fantastical can copy down and present the relevant information
