If only the current date would show on the Home Screen icon...
I'm this close -><- to buying Fantastical!

Live icons for all...coming in iOS 8?
Fantastical could add a workaround option in the meantime in which the notification badge is the date. Some weather apps do this for the temperature. It's definitely an inelegant solution though.
I also noted a TREND in iOS 7 app design where many apps are now light colored.
This is not the only example of it.
It does do that, doesn't look too bad to be fair.

Thank you both for the information. I guess i don't spend as much time in the calendar as many folks do. My life is pretty boring.

//no friends
...wow, that went downhill fast.
Flexibits told me that they will continue to support Fantastical 1 for emergency bug fixes and compatibility for the foreseeable future. No new feature updates, however.
I reported this to Flexibits and theyre aware of it and looking into fixing it for the next update.If you create a reminder/event that consists of one word only and is starting with lower caps (e.g. "shopping"), the caption disappears and you get a blank reminder/event. Nice bug
It's common courtesy to inform yourself of what has been previously said in a conversation before you jump into it... That's on MR and in real life as well. I don't just go up to random people in malls, listen to 15 seconds of their conversation they've most likely been having for a bit now and then get pissed when I'm told something that I said has already been discussed. If you can't put forth the effort to read previous responses, don't join. Plain and simple.took me 15 seconds to post, doubt you can read 40+ replies in that amount of time.
Like I said, if you don't like it you don't have to answer. I never asked you specifically, I don't have a gun to your head.... skip along, jesus, some people will just do whatever it takes to puff up their internet ego.
Also, don't jump down people's throats who are trying to teach you common courtesy and manners. It's also rude and doesn't make you look good.
I don't understand the appeal of the iOS version of Fantastical... doesn't the built in iOS Calendar app provide these features via Siri?
I do like the Mac version though. Got it as part of a pretty swell $10 bundle a few months ago.

Calengoo
I've been using Calengoo (Android and iOS versions) for the last few years and hands down, this is the very BEST calendar app (whether or not you use Gmail as your email as the program also pulls in data from the iPhone's calendar). If you use Gmail, all the better since it pulls in and migrates both the iphone calendar and Gmail calendar. Functionality is amazing...I set multiple alerts, reminders, tasks, repeats...too much to list here. I've also received great customer support when I had questions from the developer. The developer is great...he keeps adding to the functionality all the time in ways I didn't even think of. Very robust calendar program. Check it out.

In a way they added it to Today View in NC, but that only shows the next 6 hours of appointments. It does not display a "list" of ALL upcoming appointments for the day!
You can set the the red notification indicator to display the date. No app is going to display the date on the actual icon without a jailbreak. Apple does not have "live icons" for 3rd party apps, and they only use them for some of the stock apps (calendar for example)
Who's the one who is upset? I could care less, but he is trying to tell me to thank him for a smart ass comment. Because it "supposedly" took me more time to post a quick comment than it would have to read an entire thread. Well you tell me, what would have been quicker, to give a snarky response to my question, or skip over it entirely? Perhaps he should heed some of his own advice. Seems to me you guys are getting more mad that someone asked a QUESTION. Jesus. Go patrol the forums and bitch at the people who post a new "which MBP should I buy?" Thread every 2 hours. Do you jump down their throats in every thread? Because those questions are asked every day for years on this site. I asked a question in a thread, about the subject, which was asked a whopping one time before, I didn't go around and make a new thread to ask about a question. Forgive me that it was already asked. Do you read through all 1000 comments in threads before you post something? I doubt it... you know not all of us have time to sit at the computer all day to see if a question has been asked. You think you can go around and put people down giving me some "lesson" because of a join date next to my name. Hope that really makes your day so much better mate.
In fact, lets see what kind of threads you have started here on MR....
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1379899/ - a question about Disc Partitions which have been asked on this forum many times.
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1393837/ - a thread about updates, which you said other people are already getting. Did you have to create a thread about the update, or couldn't you have just used the ones people were already talking about it in?
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1315435/ - There are many many threads here about what cases and screen protectors use, did you have to start another one?
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1194918/
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1189179/ - Two threads about migration assistant in the same forum, both started by you. Couldn't you have just used one? Or any number of other MA threads?
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1163346/ - There are countless threads about which hard drive to get, but I guess you thought yours warranted an entirely new thread.
I mean, I don't want to keep going on about this, but jesus, take your own advice before you jump down my ass for asking a freaking question. You want to tell me how to use the forums, but you can't even follow your own suggestions. I just found 5 examples in 30 seconds....
Thinking of trying this app because of how crappy the iOS 7 calendar is, but can I still share calendars with my wife?
Such a minor update should be an update to the existing app. At least there should be a discounted price for owners of the original app.
Fantastical has gone greedy

I love the app, works great, glad I bought it this morning. Since the calendars still sync with iCloud, any sharing that you have set up would still occur. There is also an "Invitees" section when you are adding an event, and under settings > calendars you can hit the little "i" next to any of your calendars and there is an option for adding a person to the "shared with:" section. Hope that helps. I think you will enjoy the app, much better than the stock crap that apple has imo!!
Greedy? It's $3. Fantastical wants to be able to feed themselves.
You aren't required to upgrade; they will still be supporting the old one. If that weren't the case, then you can complain.
Ah, good point. Never noticed that because I never have a ton of things on one day. Just assumed "today" was, well, Today. Apple should change it.
I prefer Cal, by Any.do. Integrates with Any.do and has a clean iOS 7 like icon. And it's free.
Wait, so first you say "instant buy" and then you say "very few features to justify the price". So which is it?
In my mind Tweetbot didn't justify the upgrade price because they removed many features and design cues which were the reason people used Tweetbot instead of <insert generic white-background Twitter app here>. If for instance, I had known up-front that Tweetbot 3 got rid of triple-taps, was slower to navigate, and had no dark theme option, I probably wouldn't have bought it. Hopefully they will restore these things, but regardless, all they really did was update it superficially for iOS 7.
This is a FANTASTICAL (pun intended) update.
Those of you calling it a "minor update" clearly have not used the app, or not used it to its capability.
It's humorous that people are complaining about a $3 extremely-useful app, all while drinking their $5 coffee that they just drank yesterday, and will purchase again tomorrow.

Really? That icon matches the iOS perfectly.

Hello Fantastical.
But note that Apple took a $900,000,000 charge against booking current revenues to be able to offer these things for "free". Somehow, I don't think the fantastical developer can afford to take a near-billion dollar write-down this year.
tweetbot 3 is a complete redesign of the original app, not a superficial update. All new physics system, new animations, etc. It is not a reskin like you claim. Also, there is a reason for getting rid of triple tap, it actually makes the app faster, again contrary to your claims that navigation has slowed down. Sometimes you have to understand that with a new redesign, they can't always implement the same features as before in the same way, because they wouldn't make sense.
