When we thought that the news in software had finished until September, the guys from Flexibits have left their homework done before the holidays, with release of version 2.5 of Fantastical.
We are talking about the most famous calendar app in the Apple Store, which brings important news in this update. In addition to the improvements in the calendar functions, to continue being the most complete calendar, we find integration with event scheduling services like meetup.com and a function that can give a lot to talk about, with the proposal for propose new meetings with meeting guests, directly from the calendar.
El registration of the event scheduling service meetup.com is added like any other calendar, very Apple style. All the events to which you are subscribed will be downloaded directly, without having to add each event one by one manually. Obviously, you can select which calendars you can see and which ones will remain hidden.
The function that represents a leap, especially at the business level, is the possibility to propose new events, directly from the calendar. It is possible to do it from accounts with Exchange, iCloud or Google support, as well as other calDAV accounts. Propose a new date and Fantastical will compile an email automatically, proposing a date and time. The receiver must accept or reject it, on a regular basis.

- Fantastical's mini window, can now be placed in split screen, full screen or with other applications.
