Fantastical costs $3.99 and is available for iPhones running iOS 7.0 or later. The productivity app features natural language input, allowing users to type “meeting tomorrow at 9am” and the app will automatically create an event called “meeting” for tomorrow morning at 9AM. It can be used as a standalone calendar for your iOS device or used to sync events between the Mac and iOS version of the app.
