BusyCal get so many advanced things RIGHT, and so many basic things HORRIBLY WRONG! The bugs are both mind-bogglingly careless & yet long-lasting. BusyCal annoyingly opens itself EVERY TIME an alarm dialog appears. This is horrible UX. The alarm dialog should be a part of the helper app that runs in the menu bar, and there should be no need for the full app to open. Also, the menu bar app should make it SUPER easy to open the full app, without having to drill all the way down to a specific meeting. Why can't we just click on the calendar in the helper? But the absolutely worst problem with BusyCal is that the calender displayed in the menubar DOES NOT UPDATE until you open the main app. This is an atrocity of the highest magnitude possible for a calendar app. THE CALENDAR COMPLETELY FAILS TO ALERT YOU WHEN YOU HAVE AN ALARM! This MASSIVE BUG must be fixed before any of BusyCal's features will matter. If the MOST BASIC feature of a calendar fails, none of the others matter.

when you click ‘add’in 3-day weidge on Mac,it will do nothing and then the add button in Mac app windows will lose its fuction,you have to kill the app and relaunch to solve it; icloud account has reminders and so ‘reminder’ itself does,i dont understand it.

If you are seeing iCloud and Reminders both show the same Task Lists that means you have not upgraded Reminders which would remove these from iCloud. Please google for "Reminders app upgrade". For any other issue, please contact us so we can assist: [email protected]

This is an EXCELLENT calendar and task app. Easy to use, super powerful, hasn’t had any issues with syncing. Highly recommend it.

It’s fine. I may have to move away from it to get autoscheduling.

I think BusyCal is the best calendar app for Mac so far, but I miss the iOs version in Setapp… :(

BusyCal is the best calendar app out there for macOS, iPadOS, and iOS. I love seeing my start times clearly, and the weather integration into the calendar is very nice.

Great bundle with BusyContacts. That’s my main calendar app pulling together Google, iCloud and Exhange calendars.

Memory hungry, using almost a gig of RAM - more than Notion Calendar which is an awful Electron app, and way more than Fantastical which is using 170MB

That doesn't sound right. This sounds like some kind of a memory leak, we'd love to investigate if you can write to [email protected] Fantastical splits memory into two separately processes by the way, so it's not just 170MB - it can easily double to 300 - 400 MB depending on calendar size. This normal though where the events + calendars are too many. BusyCal supports Graphics and those can take up even more RAM.

An amazingly flexible calendar designed for maximum productivity. The developers of this app seemed to have thought of everything and then some.

Excellent. The calendar app to beat, and I’ve tried most of them! Finally something that isn’t filled with bugs or pieces of UX that make no sense.

I like BusyCal it is a complete calendar app, almost to feature rich, but I am very confused why they are letting me use it as part of Setapp on the Mac version but not on the iOS version. Because of that, I am not going to gvie this app a thumbs up rating

Thanks for taking the time out for the review! Our ios app is a one time purchase and to make it serve part of setapp, the app is supposed to become freemium. Most of our users dislike that and dislike subscriptions. Apple provides us with no workaround so sadly the ios app cannot be made part of setapp.

Really solid app with helpful interaction and easy controls (snooze, etc.) so reminders don’t become annoying.
