Now, you'll be able to enter common shortened versions of words such as 'bday' instead of 'birthday' to save you even more time finding the event you're looking for. With the latest version of the app released in December, 2014, Flexibits made the natural language recognition for searches even better by adding abbreviations. In my opinion, second to combining Reminders and the Calendar into one app, this natural language implementation is the biggest selling point for the app. You’ll receive two more options because the appearances are divided into light and dark modes. Select Appearance from the Settings menu, and you’ll be offered five more design options. Going even further, you can include the location of the appointment or reminder, and Fantastical will enter it on your behalf. Fantastical starts with a clean, attractive appearance that makes it easy to use and read.

Entering 'lunch with Jane on Tuesday' will set an appointment for noon on Tuesday. The same can be said about calendar appointments. You don't need to hunt-and-peck your way through a picker in order to enter the event like you do with the Reminders and Calendar apps in iOS.

As an example, you can type 'remind me to put out the trash every Thursday at 6am,' and Fantastical will create a recurring reminder for you to put out the trash at the requested time. Instead of having to go through and fill out a form - tap here, type here, pick date here, and so on - Fantastical has one field as a main entry point for all types of events. Indeed, my favorite aspect of the Fantastical lineup is its ability to parse your input as if you were speaking to a person - a feature that works if you start with Siri, but something you can't do within Apple's own Calendar and Reminders apps.
