What users say about BusyCal
Value: 3.0
Fine app if you're rich. They've changed from a purchase to a subscription approach, which just increases the price further over their previous method (which ensured you had to upgrade every couple of macOS versions anyway, and they didn't have upgrade discounts). While it's been great having an app that integrates Outlook and Google calendars, I'm just moving back to viewing Google in the browser because of the costs for this.

Version: 2024.1.2
Works fine. I bought it mainly because it looks better that Apple's calendar. Now the upgrade costs are too high and frequent for me. A regular + pro licences could have done it for me, not shelling out ~$30 quite often.

Great app but it constantly quits. I'm just going to use Calendar 366 (less features) but more reliable.

Still using version 3.12 and very happy with it. However with new subscription thing I will not upgrade. When 3.12 stops working I wll switch unless pricing is fixed. For non-business personnal use it is great but way too costly (a restricted version could be interesting, too).
