Have you ever felt overwhelmed with your family’s schedule? Had a secret wish that there was a magical solution to your scheduling woes? With all the technology available in the world today, how could there not be something more efficient that works for families and makes sense?
I was asking all these questions as I was raising a family with four active kids and had so many events, appointments, and places to be. Both my husband and I work full-time and the schedule was always tight. We needed a better way to track and communicate. Not to mention, needing frequent reminders of what was on the schedule. I hated it when I would have a moment where we forgot to go to an event, birthday party, or appointment because I simply forgot. Those moments were the worst kind of disappointment.
One day, I happened to be looking in the App Store for a solution to this problem, and I found that solution in Cozi. It is a calendar app that is made for families. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of calendars that are great and many of them work fine, but this one made managing life as a family so much easier.
For starters, it is free to use! That is always a total plus. If you want more bells and whistles, you can upgrade to plus for about $40/year which I happily pay for all the peace of mind it brings. In the app, you can color code your family members, send notifications, set reminders, and view your schedule. Cozi even sends out an email with the agenda for the upcoming week.
As a busy mom, I rely on these reminders so I don’t miss anything. If you have Cozi plus you can set up to three reminders per event, and it is sad to admit but often I need all three to stay on track! Everything ends up in Cozi. You can do a handful of things besides schedule events. You can also make journal entries, view recipes, and make lists. I often use the list feature when running to the store.
Cozi has been a lifesaver for me, and I absolutely love it. I am not affiliated with them in any way, this is just a glowing review from a user who loves the app. Try it out and see for yourself.
