I bought the last two versions but will NOT be upgrading to 3.0 because the subscription pricing model.

βSome have called us crazy, but we call it doing the right thing. All of the features from your prior purchase of Fantastical 2 will continue to work with the new Fantastical...β Yea, itβs like madness, not to block features ppl already paid for. Charity basically. Btw. Iβve bought Fantastical 2.0 and (so far) have the features blocked anyway, so...

Very sad to see that despite paying a lot of money for an app, you don't get consideration from the dev. Why should I pay again for the same app I paid 1 year ago? Why can't we update from 2.0? All these subscription models are making acquisition people lazy.
Won't update, sorry.

So excited about this update!
Fantastical has been a life changer for me and I can't wait to see how my life will again profit from this large update.
Thank you Flexibits team!
I understand the need/want of going to subscriptions. Developers need to survive to continue, but it's the pricing models from some ISVs that don't match in my mind. I can subscribe to MS Office 365 for $99/yr for 5 user licenses. I use it every day. Another utility might want $40/yr. I use it only occasionally. The fact is most users aren't upgrading their core computing environment often enough to justify a standalone pricing model vs. a subscription. Services like SetApp make the pain a subscription model a little less painful to the end user.

A bit annoyed that they've removed time to leave notifications (something I already paid for). I'll have to switch apps, paying $40/yr for a simple calendar is too expensive in my opinion.
