Fantastical 3.0.9 Adds Cursor Support for iPad and More

Flexibits today updated its popular Fantastical calendar app with some notable changes and improvements, including cursor support for iPads.


With the release of iPadOS 13.4, Apple introduced mouse and trackpad support for its tablets, and Fantastical has been updated to take full advantage, enabling users to navigate the interface and edit calendar entries using a cursor.

Version 3.0.9 of the app also adds a new feature that shows users a preview of surrounding events and tasks when a new invitation is received, while weather is now shown on days that have no events when showing one or two days at a time in the list.

Other changes in this update for iPhone and iPad include:
  • Day and Week view can now show more hours at once
  • Tightened spacing in Month view to make more text visible
  • Event and task notifications now appear when Fantastical is active
  • Tapping date headers in the list of events in the watch app now shows the weather forecast
  • Improved sync responsiveness between ‌iPhone‌ and Apple Watch
  • Fixed an issue where the ‌Apple Watch‌ could get stuck syncing and would stop updating
  • Fixed an issue where Office 365 accounts wouldn't prompt for reauthorization if the login expires
  • Fixed an issue where the prompt to request G Suite sync access could cause some events to not be synced
  • Fixed an issue where long events could appear at the wrong time when the option to only show hours from day start to end is enabled
  • Fixed an issue where all-day tasks wouldn't appear correctly in Month view
  • Fixed a crash when trying to send changes to Todoist while offline
  • Various fixes and improvements
Fantastical version 3.0.9 is rolling out now as a universal binary for ‌iPhone‌, ‌iPad‌, and ‌Apple Watch‌, available on the App Store. The updated version for Mac also brings fixes and improvements, and can be downloaded directly from Flexibits or from the Mac App Store.

Fantastical runs on a subscription model: the fully featured app costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. A feature-limited version of the app remains available for free, while Flexibits also offers a 14-day free trial for users who want to check out the full fat version.

Here are all the apps that are compatible with OnePlus 8’s frame-boosting chip

OnePlus 8 Leaked Render Side ViewCashKaro

OnePlus previously confirmed back in January that an MEMC chip was coming to the OnePlus 8 series, boosting 30fps content to 120fps.

Now, CEO Pete Lau has revealed the supported apps and content on Weibo, and it’s not a bad start. You can check out the list below for all the supported apps.

  • Amazon Prime Video
  • BiliBili
  • Hotstar
  • iQiyi
  • MX Player
  • Netflix
  • OnePlus Gallery app
  • Tencent Video
  • VLC
  • Youku
  • YouTube

We also get a look at some supported games, but they’re largely focused on the Chinese market with the exception of Vainglory. There are quite a few games that natively support higher refresh rates anyway, but more would definitely be welcome.

The news comes as the OnePlus founder reveals that the OnePlus 8 series won’t cost more than $1,000. Nevertheless, we’re still bracing for a price bump over the OnePlus 7T series, owing to the increased cost of 5G technology.

Are there any other apps or games that you’d like to see with a higher frame-rate? Sound off in the comments! Otherwise, you can also check out our OnePlus 8 rumor hub at the link.

Reports say that YouTube wants to fight TikTok

YouTube Shorts vs TikTok?

The Information reports that Shorts will be a new platform where people can upload short videos with licensed music into a feed via a mobile app. The new service will take advantage of licensed music from YouTube Music's catalogue.

TikTok has seen a massive 125 percent growth in the past two years. App Annie approximates that TikTok was downloaded over 842 Million for the first time from both the Apple App Store and the Google Play store in the past 12 months. The social media platform works by letting people create videos with the option to choose from a selection of audio tracks or music.

YouTube has a history of developing its own version of popular features on its platform.  Examples include YouTube Music and Instagram Stories-like feature on its website.

The Information also says that YouTube isn't alone in challenging TikTok, Facebook has quietly developed a TikTok competitor called 'Lasso' that is now being tested in Brazil.

Digital fingerprints are the new cookies — and advertisers want yours


Ever wondered why the same ads seem to follow you everywhere you go online and why they look awfully related to that article you just read or that item you just bought?  Some companies and organizations use a series of tools to track you online in order to place advertisements and measure their effectiveness. Some of these tools, like third-party tracking cookies, have been around for over a decade. They include cross-site tracking cookies, tracking pixels, social trackers, content trackers, among others. There is another, less known but more invasive form of cross-site tracking: browser fingerprinting, and it’s gaining traction…

At least the OnePlus 8 series won’t cost more than $1,000

The OnePlus series of phones have generally delivered a more affordable flagship experience than the likes of Samsung‘s high-end devices. But there are fears that the latest devices might see a price hike owing to their 5G nature.

Now, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has told Business Insider that the upcoming OnePlus 8 series won’t cost more than $1,000. We don’t get more granular details, so for all we know, the OnePlus 8 Pro could theoretically retail for $999.99 and still be a sub-$1000 device.

Lau also noted that “prices across the supply chain, from raw materials to 5G chips, are all rising generally in the industry,” suggesting that the new phones will be more expensive than predecessors. But the OnePlus executive says that 5G phones will come down in price over time, pointing to the same trend with 4G devices.

In any event, this news does suggest that the vanilla OnePlus 8 will be fairly clear of the $1,000 mark at the very least. After all, the OnePlus 7T sells for £549 (~$681) in the UK, while the OnePlus 7T Pro retails for £699 (~$868). Meanwhile, the vanilla model sells for Rs 34,999 (~$459) in India, while the Pro variant retails for Rs 53,999 (~$709). So we can likely expect a similar price gap between the OnePlus 8 and the Pro option.

The news also means the OnePlus 8 series will be cheaper than the Galaxy S20 series, which starts at $999 for the base model. But Samsung’s base model offers a flexible rear camera setup, IP68 water and dust resistance, wireless charging, and a QHD+ 120Hz screen. Meanwhile, the vanilla OnePlus 8 is rumored to lack a telephoto camera, significant IP rating, wireless charging, and might top out at a 90Hz refresh rate.
