Cozi Family Organiser 4+

Upgraded in a heartbeat LIFE CHANGING

My favourite app EVER!! Our family are communicating at last! Since the children were born, 17 years ago, I ALWAYS used a wall calendar, the idea being everyone referred to it, but that rarely happened & impossible when out! I never got on with iCal or other apps, so I took time to research and here we are...I downloaded when on holiday so I could really enjoy time familiarising myself with Cozi. I actually couldn’t wait to get home to put it into action (and thank you, we had a lovely holiday)
It worked like a dream.... and 4 weeks in EVERYONE is using it! We have far less arguments over double bookings, my son loves knowing what’s happening daily, my daughter uses it arrange time with friends around family commitments, my husband cross references with Cozi when organising work schedules & I use it for everything! I love how it throws out up to 3 reminders, family colour coding and it’s ease of use! Plus everyone can input data (I just ask them to notify me through the app when they do, to avoid the... well I put it on Cozi!) great job done, I never thought I’d find a family organised so easy to use and live changing! It didn’t take long before I upgraded to Gold membership, worth every single penny, works out cheeper than an icecream a month, so affordable, would be without now!!! THANK YOU x

Ok but not great and don’t know if it’s worth the money

I was very exited to start using it. At first it all looked very straight forward... once you start trying to set it up it has been very time consuming and complicated. To start with the phone app isn’t what I was expecting, the calendar is very confusing and not strength forward. The agenda on the other hand is clear enough. You can’t download any picture from your phone to set it on your profile and syncing to any other calandra is a pain since you have to do it from a computer.
I’m very disappointed since it looked like an awesome app... I hope that some updates are on their way to make it a very version for the phone.

Update: I have been trying to figure it out and I just can’t get it to work right, I’m wondering if it’s me, the app isn’t what it says it is or if the app just needs updating.
I won’t get reminders in my phone about events I specifically asked to get reminded, I can’t download pictures to the calendar in my phone and events aren’t syncing to my Apple calendar.
I pay for the premium for a year and are now very concern it was a mistake.
Any help would be appreciated

Developer Response ,

Hi, We're sorry for any issues you're encountering, and we'd be glad to help! The month view in the mobile apps is designed to give you an overview of your month to show you at a glance which days are busy or free. To view and interact with specific appointments from the month view, please double-tap to go to the 2x2 zoom. From that view, you could tap on an appointment to open it, or you could scroll horizontally or vertically to view upcoming dates, such as upcoming weekends to view or make plans. To return to the overview, you could double-tap again. Regarding photos, it should be possible to select a photo from your phone to use in Cozi, unless Cozi doesn't have permission to access your photos. You could authorize permission in your iOS settings by opening your iOS settings icon, tapping on Cozi and ensuring that all sliders are set to green. While you're there, you could adjust the delivery style to persistent to ensure that device notifications from Cozi are optimized. Regarding integration with other calendars, you could add iCal URLs from other calendars directly to your Cozi app. However, most other calendars require that you set up outbound iCals from their web versions, and that's also true for generating outbound iCals from Cozi to add to other calendars. We're sorry for any inconvenience! For information on integrating Cozi with other calendars, please see this page: https://www.cozi.com/using-cozi-with-other-calendars/. If we can help with anything else, please reach our support team at cozi.com/contact-us. Thanks, Cozi

Not as clear to read as it used to be

I LOVE Cozi! I’ve been using this app for over 8 years, possibly over 10 years now. My husband and I use the shopping lists to add to throughout the week as we use up our produce, and we plan all of our meals in the calendar so that we only buy the food we need and have less wastage.

BUT the recent update to the interface has meant that the shopping lists are not as easy to read as they used to be. Half the shopping list is hidden, I find I have to open and close the list just to be able to see the bottom of the list. Please can you make this better? It used to work fine! It makes me sad when things regress!!
