> Test 2 Siri Shortcuts

How well is this supported?

-

BusyCal, Calendars 5, Fantastica­l, Timepage, and WeekCal all have support for Siri Shortcuts. Informant does not. In the case of BusyCal, Fantastica­l and Timepage, the in–app settings allow you to quickly access the library of pre–made Shortcuts and add them. We found that the only way to access the libraries in Calendars 5 and WeekCal was in the Shortcuts app or in the Settings app, under Siri & Search suggested shortcuts. In terms of the number of pre–made shortcuts, there were more for Fantastica­l than any of the others, some of whose support could best be described as “token”.

If you’re a fan of Shortcuts and use it a great deal, then Fantastica­l is the best option, although we did like Timepage’s daily briefing and Today in History shortcuts. The latter of these is very much in keeping with the ethos of the app.
