  1. On the verge of fully phasing-out my use of Fantastical… While I still like the app, it’s become increasingly difficult to justify the subscription price.

  2. Fantastical arriva su Windows! 🖥️📅 La popolare app di calendario di Flexibits è ora disponibile anche su iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro e Windows. Perfetta per chi usa piattaforme miste per lavoro e casa 🔄✨ #Fantastical #Windows #Calendario #Flexibits #Tecnologia

  3. Love it when applications respect platform conventions. I had a Fantastical alert with 12 replies that I had to click OK on… and then I thought… if Command-W is Close window, and Command-Option-W is Close all windows… and that works also by Option-clicking the close button of a window… maybe Option-clicking OK will do the trick?

    Sure enough, as soon as I pressed the Option key, the button changed to OK to all. Thanks, @flexibits!

  4. Good to see @flexibits makers of Fantstical and Cardhop now on Mastodon.

    Welcome to the land where Mastodons roam!

  5. This is how you build trust with your users around #privacy on the #IxD side of things:

    - Be transparent and upfront about it
    - State clearly what you collect, and what you don’t collect
    - Reassure users that they can change any opt-in decisions later

    Most importantly, though: Follow up on your promises to demonstrate that you earn your users’ trust.

    Obviously, that latter one goes way beyond a well-designed dialog box.

    Well done, #Flexibits!

    Jumping from $40/year to $57/year for a calendar + contacts app combo still stings, no matter how nice and frequently-updated they are. Even if it does amortize to $4.75 a month.

    #Flexibits does a good job summarizing what a premium #subscription gets you, at least: flexibits.com/pricing

  7. My mistake, #Flexibits did in fact email me and presumably other #Fantastical users in December that its premium subscription price would increase: “Due to #inflation and rising costs, this is the first time we have needed to increase pricing since #FlexibitsPremium launched 3 years ago. The new annual pricing will be $56.99 (US) — an increase of $1.42/month (US). Other currencies may differ slightly.”

    Still a bit of a shock this morning from #Apple #AppStore, though.

  8. Satisfied #Fantastical and #Cardhop customer on #Mac and #iPhone here, shocked to receive this message from #Apple today: “The developer, #Flexibits Inc., is raising the price of this subscription from $39.99 per year to $56.99 per year. Your #subscription will automatically renew for $56.99 per year starting May 9 unless you cancel at least a day before.”

    Emailed the latter for an explanation. It's ridiculous to hear about a 42½ percent increase from the #AppStore rather than the #developer.

  9. For my customer support peeps, #Flexibits is hiring a Customer Support Advisor in the US. flexibits.com/jobs#customer-su

  10. @AdamChandler I’m also a delighted #Fantastical user. I wonder why nothing comes close outside of the #Apple ecosystem, though. I don’t think @ev’s wishes are uncommon, but I do think Apple users are more willing to pay for a better experience, thus making #Flexibits a more sustainable business. #Windows and #Linux users settle for cheap-to-free lowest common denominators, and that’s hard to compete against.

  11. Always nice to see things like this.

    Flexibit's Mac addressbook replacement, CardHop, just updated and two of the changes are:

    * Added support to add Mastodon usernames to a contact card
    * Added support to detect Mastodon usernames in the parser input

  12. The (unfortunately) great #calendar app #Fantastical by #Flexibits is increasing its subscription price by 43% ($39.99 → $56.99) next year 😳. I already found the current subscription price expensive for a calendar app, but now I'm really looking for an alternative. Glad to hear your suggestions & retoots are welcome!
    My use case: Managing different calendars (#CalDAV & Microsoft Exchange).

  13. #Flexibits bietet gerade 75% Rabatt auf ein Jahresabo, das entspricht 11€ statt 40€.

    Flexibits macht die beiden iOS-Apps #Fantastical und #Cardhop, tolle Alternativen zu den System- Kalender- und Kontakteapps.
