So if you haven't heard the news
fantastic out - is turned into
fantastical 3 in today's video
We're gonna be taking a look at the new calendar application the new refresh the new
Pricing and also as much as you need to know about this upgrade, so in today's video
Let's dive over and jump into fantastical 3
Okey-dokey folks now as you can see, this is the new
Fantastical 3.0. We'll be diving into the Mac version in a moment to give you some of our thoughts and opinions
but let's dive over some of the features that have changed as well as the pricing because I think that's
Important to note if you want to skip this you can do using the time stamps below
So what it is offering now is cross-platform. I don't know exactly what that means
It should obviously include Android if it's technically full cross-platform
But it is available on Mac iPad iPhone and watch they have an all-new design
Apparently with a dark and light mode as well as file and photo
Attachments and from some of the previews that I've seen on other applications to be fair
It does look better. They have some new working abilities
so for example
you can be able to coordinate events and invites based on times a bit like the
woven scheduling features as well as with templates and availability and event proposals you have also got
Tasks which now works with to-do lists apparently
Which is a pretty nice integration if you already have to do it now, you also have interesting calendars, which I believe was there before
You now have weather which is pulled in from AccuWeather and you can connect up the likes of a Gmail
And Google Calendar. Sorry. Yahoo! Email
Exchange I kow
And of course outlook as well. They do time zones a little bit better and
They now do it in lots of different languages believe they have French before English German Italian Spanish and Japanese
So that is the list of features now, let's just touch on the pricing
So the pricing has changed it previously wants a full one-off year I think with $49 99
The Mac I think their pricing was a little bit sort of different on mobile. So you do get
You get two experiences you get
free and premium
So you do get to download the application, of course, you can download a free
However, you are limited
You can add accounts and events and do sort of regular and basic stuff
But in terms of the productivity collaboration and customization side, that's all locked under
Premium now with that you get all of the calendar sets the full screen day month and week
the customizations the collaborations with other people and
I guess a lot more with the weather forecasting email support
So that's obviously inside that pan in that plan is yearly it's three pound
95 which I believe is about four bucks
per month year lease
It is actually the pricing and all the details so you can see here that if you pay annually
It is three dollars 33 a month and that will work out at a total of 39 dollars 99
You also get a monthly plan, which is four dollars 99 we were going on for this sake of this review
So what I've noticed as well as you get any flex a bit account Keith
So for example, if you use it on another device it has it iCloud it will then login so you don't have to repay
For adding the iOS application. Okay folks
So here we are with the new fantastical 3 and I'm gonna start off by talking about the design. The design is a lot better
It's a lot cleaner. It's a lot crisper and what I quite like about it, is these weather updates?
It's nice to know what the weather's gonna be like tomorrow. You can click into them
You can actually see the full forecast as well if you want to but what the temperature and the weather conditions are going to be
Now the nice thing as well was a month. You can get a nice overview. You also get your
ICal and also your I reminders or reminders in from Apple reminders, which is nice
So it brings in them based on the date as well. So if I take
You know a day let's go with
tomorrow
So let's go to Dave you you can see that the Apple reminders actually appear at the top here
And you can see here that obviously the events come in really nicely. So adding an event is really easy
You can start typing up here and it automatically populates it
they have mentioned that they have a
ability to
Connect up with Apple
Reminders and also todoist which will jump into but the thing is that you can actually do
Intelligent input so you can just say like tomorrow at 4 p.m
And it will automatically and do it and you can also propose another time here. That's how the
Integrations work as well. So you can add a proposal and send it to specific people
So as you can see here, you start the general preferences the appearance abilities there, you know, you can actually change it to light mode
There's actually a specific dark mode as well, which is nice
You can also set up your accounts so you can open this on up and add to do it
So we're going to actually do that one now
Ok, so I've added my two newest account actually fairly easy and what its gonna start doing is bringing in all of those tasks it
Looks a little bit messy because I have a lot of tasks in my list
but if I want to I can open I'm up and let's say I've filmed all my videos I can tick this off and
I believe it should update on my to-do list application. Let's go over and see so actually updated this end which is pretty good
So that's a two-way integration, which works really nicely
Don't know why I didn't think it would be but that's a nice thing to have over here
You can actually see and modify bits of information like the project the label
So it's actually cool that you could be able to manage your tasks inside of this. So as you can imagine
That's a neat feature and especially if you're in the today tab or you've set like specific times
So let me say uh, you know, put the editing at 11:00 a.m. Then thing you can do it
Can you if I drop that there doesn't seem to be working?
But maybe that's just because there's a might be a slight bug in it or a delay in the sort of sap or connection
so you've also got week view as well, which I quite like, I think it's a really crisp look and
for me, at least it looks a lot nicer than before and so that's a nice little
update you do have year view which gives you like this heap map of
like what's you know the busiest days and and things like that and then you can hover in
To all of the different days, which is quite nice
So that's something you can do as well now if I'm brutally honest, there's not too much new about this application
They've cleaned up a few things. They've made it a little bit easier to manage I'd say but in essence it's not a dramatic
Upgrade but the thing that is dramatically upgrading is to pricing
So if you have been someone that has paid before, I believe you won't have to pay. I'll double checking the information below
but again
you just have to make sure that if you're going on this one that you're getting the
$48 or $39 a year ninety nine of the experience you get so it is a little bit cheaper
But again, you're paying that price yearly now. You're not paying it just one-off. So again
This is an application that is really good for those who are looking to connect up there to do is to that calendar
But also manage your calendars in a bit more of a cleaner iOS and Mac application
So guys hopefully that was useful in my opinion. I'm gonna give
fantastic our three a
Six out of ten for their release
The main reason is that it's just because it hasn't changed hugely. But again, it's just gone cleaner
So maybe I'll upgrade out to a seven but seven out of ten is pretty good
So do check it out, but guys a big. Thank you
