Hi, I’ve now looked up Fantastical 2 in the app store and i can only say this: Too bad it’s as usual available in a limited number of languages, so despite it being available in the Swedish app store, it’s unusable to me if i don’t want to speak English or any other ”big” language. Oh well, shrug… /Krister
