this topic was started by someone who then couldn't find the future event once it was added because of the way the native calendar app displays such information. Creating the future event got sorted out for him. But, the last thing I'll say on this topic is that in Fantastical 2, you don't

Fantastical 2 is the updated version from a couple years ago at least. I don't remember if I had to buy the new version. First, why don't you go into Fantastical and double tap on settings and scroll to the last item which says About Fantastical and double check which version you have. Then you

Hello everybody. Personally, I prefer to use the native built-in apps whenever possible. Scheduling future events is easy to do with the native calendar. First, go to the date of the upcoming event then add your event. If you set up family sharing you can share your calendar. On May 30, 2015,

Keith, Are you in the month view when you double tap on the date with the events? If you are, then you will find them at the bottom of the screen just under the last week of the month. The month view is like a wall calendar with each week across the screen, so the month takes about 5 lines.

Hi, If you want a real easy one, its worth its money and it was designed for the blind. Try VO Calendar. In that one, just tap on other month, select the month you want and go to the date you want. It also synchs with the native calendar so, when you set an appointment using SIRI, it

Hi, Richard. Tried it again. No luck. Yes, I’m in the month view. I go to July and make sure VO speaks Selected List button. I go to July 13, and VO speaks 2 Events. I double tap. I go to the area you suggested. VO speaks No Events. I flick back once, and get the last day of July, July 31.

If you're in Month View, so you can see all the days of the month on the screen, just touch a day and use three-finger swipes up or down to move month by month. This should get you to the right place relatively fast. Some people also like the Fantastical app for this purpose, since you can type

The event did appear, but it did so silently. :) Right below the grid of days you'll find a list of all events for the selected day, right on the same screen as the grid. I did a podcast on the two possible list modes, because the feature is great, but confusing. Here's the link:
