News from the world of applications
Fantastical also arrives on iPad (March 25)
The Fantastical alternative calendar is very popular on both Mac and iPhone. So it's great news that this app is coming to iPads soon. The developers from the studio Flexibits, which came up with this revolutionary application, promised this on their blog. Fantastical excels above all in the ability to enter new events with a natural language, simple interface and clean design.
A report on the Flexibits blog says that Fantastical 2 for iPhone is good on the iPad, but of course the dedicated iPad app will be even better. Immediately below the message is a form where you can enter your email address and Flexibits will then send you a message when Fantastical for iPad arrives in the App Store.
The developers also announced that Fantastical for iPad will be a new, separate app for the new money, to avoid any surprised cries of despair from potential app buyers. No other news has been published yet, so we do not know the exact form of the application or the date of its arrival.

Clear will receive the promised reminders already next month (March 26)
Realmac Software of the Week on your blog announced that Clear will see the promised comments integration in April. Originally, this questbook was scheduled to be updated this month, but Realmac Software wants to make sure they release a 100% app, which is worth the few weeks of waiting. Dan Counsell said on the company's blog that his team is working hard to improve the app. However, the team wants the new functions not to complicate the application unnecessarily and the control to remain intuitive. The consequence is that the developers are constantly improving and changing every little thing, but this takes time. The March deadline will not be met, but the application will probably arrive in the App Store at the beginning of April.
Realmac understands that this delay will annoy and disappoint many users. However, let them be comforted that the application will not only include new reminders. The ability to customize sounds will also be added, allowing for two brand new sound packs. Clear+ users will get these for free, but other iOS users will have to purchase them via in-app purchase. Sound packs will also be available for free for Mac users.

Advanced BusyContacts directory coming to Mac App Store (March 28)
The developer studio BusyMac, which became famous for the successful BusyCal calendar for Mac, wants to continue to replace system applications on OS X with more advanced alternatives. Now it's the turn of the contacts directory, which the new application is supposed to compete with in the future BusyContacts. It will be able to work with contacts and their synchronization, and according to the developers, it will be a much better solution than Contacts from Apple.
Address book BusyContacts should become a public beta in the summer, but it is already known what it will look like. BusyContacts will offer a much clearer user interface than, for example, the confusing CoBook, and will focus on functionality rather than "cool looks". The application will allow you to label contacts with different labels, assign them to events in the BusyCal calendar, add information from Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, and so on. The application will offer synchronization via iCloud, Exchange and Google Contacts and many sharing options.

Is FaceBook Messenger an App? Shit, but an app that forces users to turn on sounds and notifications in such a fierce way, like their shit, probably shouldn't be passed off as universally successful. I know about 10 people in my neighborhood who just laughed at her.
