There is only one calendar app ever I wanted to use on my iPad mini. It was so good I put up with the using the iPhone 2x version instead of any of the made-for-iPad alternatives in the store. As a result, for over a year, I have been waiting patiently for an iPad version of Fantastical to complement the popular Mac and iPhone apps.
Today my wish was granted with the release of Fantastical for iPad. Unlike the make-do-and mend use of the blown-up iPhone app on the iPad, this new version is built specially to take advantage of the large screen. It has a new interface that takes the convenience of the familiar iPhone app and turns it into a beautiful calendar app for serious schedulers.
