Not user friendly to erase tasks, not finding a contact source. Would not recommend
Excellent app that works great for sharing schedules and grocery lists in our family.
I love that this app allows me to organize my large family of 9! The individual color codes help to know who needs to be where! We’re a foster family and the appointments and calendar is always full! This is so helpful to keep it all together!!
A wonderful way to keep the whole family connected. No more double booking- as long as everyone keeps track of their appointments!
I love this calendar. It really cuts down on family constantly asking when….
This app is amazing for family sharing! Just wish you could also set reminders in here for you and the family instead of just calendar events.
I used to carry a big brown organizer with me…it was bulky and carried a lot of paper…then I started to use my Kindle for my organizer but it too became bulky to carry…then I came across this app…I can now stay organized and not be carrying a bulky organizer…I strongly recommend this app…
I have used this app for a couple of years. Has kept the whole family on the same page. There are two things I don’t like about the app. The first, has always been a pain. You can’t easily schedule things for the next year. You have to press forward to the next month 12 times. The second, has recently started. You can’t search your calendar anymore. You used to be able to put only part of a phrase and you would get all of the dates. Now you don’t get any, even if you type it out in full. I used to type ortho and would get all of the date the family had orthopedic and orthodontist appts.
My husband travels for a living and this calendar helps me know when he will be home and we can make family plans. Also when I make plans for just my son and I it is a great reminder on things going on in life.
This app has lots of potential to become my go-to, but it’s hard to break away from my Google Calendar. I’d love to be able to alter the look of the printable calendar as it’s very small font and doesn’t use the entire piece of paper. Also I wish there was an option to automatically delete items once they are checked instead of having to repeatedly agree to that. I haven’t quite figured out how to use the recipe section with my grocery planning, but that’s on me. Also, I’d be willing to pay a small amount to see the full month calendar on my phone. I still feel Google has a more polished feel and I prefer the look of their calendar with banner headings in different colors for family members instead of small dots. Otherwise, I LOVE having my calendar and lists in the same place and easy to access and add to by my partner.
