Very good start

After using BusyCal on the Mac for many years, I was glad to see it come to iOS. This is my favorite calendar & todo app on both Mac & iOS. Good: well thought-out layout, with easy access to each view & customization of Day-Week-Month views. Better todo-calendar integration than competitors. Week view scrolls by day (not full weeks) & Month view scrolls by week (not full months) - very helpful near end of the week/month. Needs improvement: While viewing an event, must click Edit before editing some fields, rather than just clicking on the field. Day/Week views should allow creating events by touching & holding at a specific time. Can't drag events to new days in Month view (only in Week view). ToDo view should allow easy selection of which calendar(s) to view, not just how to sort todos on the screen. Fixed: font size setting for Week view (3.04). Replaced date slider with calendar picker (3.1). Create events with touch & hold in month view (3.33).
Hide Empty Days

Please add “Hide Empty Days” for the List View. Hide days with no events.
Good app, great support

This and the Mac versions of BusyCal and Busycontacts are 2 of the best apps I have and that I use all day every day. I have used BusyCal (and BusyContacts) on the Mac for some time. Nothing on the iPhone worked have as well, so this iPhone app is wonderful to have. I finally use the calendar on my phone--and its syncrhony (in all senses) with the Mac is a relief. Here, though, I want to emphasize the *immediate,* *competent,* and complete nature of the tech. support this company provides on all their products. Looking forward to BusyContacts on the iPhone!
The Best iOS Calendar — User Since 2013

I’ve tried the likes of Fantastical and other calendar apps but none can provide the same features as BusyCal. I like having to see clear and concise information at a glance and BusyCal is the only one that can do that. Just with the month view I can see glyphs of the weather, all calendar events, and the ability to adjust the amount of information just by pinching and zooming. While the layout doesn’t appear as fancy as other apps, this one seems to be designed with function over form. I highly recommend using this!
Good but no personal O36 Support

I like the interface of BusyCal a lot. I think as a calendaring product, it’s definitely one of the nicest. My issue comes with the fact that I can’t add my personal O365 calendars. They show up fine under the iOS calendar app, but they don’t import into BusyCal, nor can they be manually added. This is really perplexing since it supposedly supports O365 and Exchange... I really wish this would get fixed so that my family calendars would show up. With that change it would be nearly perfect in my mind. Update: support contacted me and explained to use “Exchange” for the personal option (not self-explanatory imo), and this worked perfectly. Back to 5-stars even though I think maybe they could add another option for Personal/Family O365...
Forced screen since update

A bar opens at bottom forcing you to integrate an above servive like reminders. It hides the selections of Main calendar choices underneath. Dont want any these so you cant enter calendar. The page wont change.
Careful! It is untrue that supports well Google Calendar!

You can't add calendars, to dos, and also the sync function is no good. It isn't written in the description on the App Store, but only in their website!
A Couple of Missing Features
Northern_Flicker
I’ve recently migrated away from another calendar app that is currently experiencing a large exodus of customers. As much as I really like BusyCal (I also just purchased the Mac version, after trialing it for a couple of hours.), I reluctantly had to uninstall it from my iPhone because there are two missing features that are essential to me: the ability to search my entire calendar (not just the past 10 years) and custom alerts. I often need to set an alarm two to four weeks prior to an event, and BusyCal only allows up to 2 days prior. Hoping these features will eventually get added. In the meantime, I’ve had to come up with a “Plan B” for my phone.
korean language?

I’m surprised at ios version of busical still not supporting korean language.
