Well deserved for Affinity Designer. It's the first real competitor to Adobe's Illustrator, and with a ten times more elegant interface.( and an insanely low price )

Fantastical 2 is incredible. Totally deserving. Particularly considering the price on iOS
Yes, but way overpriced (update) on Mac.

Fantastical is certainly worthy. Especially good to see them recognised as they are in direct competition to one of Apple's core apps. Something that wasn't even allowed back when the App Store started.

Neither the OSX nor iOS versions of Fantastical 2 support Travel Time, allegedly because the API for it is private and so not available for developers. According to the UI, the Travel Time is nonexistent. Though the alerts do go off at the correct time.



It's relevant because it puts them at a decided disadvantage, selling calendar apps on the various App Stores that aren't able to support all the features available in iCloud-based calendars.

Sheesh!
Travel Time is very different from Time Travel. You shouldn't get mad at him for your mistake in communicating.

Hilarious that Fantastical wins, despite Apple not sharing the Travel Time API with the developers.
Huh? They clearly demoed a third party complication responding to Time Travel. Also: how is that relevant?
