Anyone use cozi???? It's a family calendar, home organization planning tool for the web and mobile. I found a reference to them on the flylady website and thought I would check to see what you gals thought of it! Any one tried it?
 
I've been using Cozi for the past couple of years. I really like the calendar portion of it - I haven't really used the other parts. I like that it's web-based, but also has a good (and free) app for the iPad and my Andriod phone.
 
i too use cozi and really like the calendar! Especially since I can pick and choose who to send notifications to. This is so helpful when needing to remind my dad of upcoming dr. appointments.

We also use the shopping list from time to time... b/c it can be sent as a text to a phone and now with the app is live and easy to keep updated.

My favorite part is the newsletter feature they have for the journal. I must admit I kind of fell out of the habit of updating it from time to time last year, but when I do update it a monthly newsletter goes out to a family list that I created and I always get great feedback from distant relatives, which usually keeps me motivated to keep it up to date.
 
I have... I keep forgetting to update the calendar... must get back on that. I liked that I could share the calender with hubby and he would put things on that would affect me and kiddo at home... and then have a summary for each week went to us. I also have used the shopping list, but since getting the smartphone, I just use an app on that or email hubby if he is stopping... right now the most I use is the journaling part. If there is something I want to remember to scrap, I put it in the journal, which hubby can see, too... oh, and I guess I use the todo lists to keep track of things I want to make for kiddo's schooling, scrap pages, etc...

Hmm... I guess I used it more than I thought, I should revisit that... haha. I know the only think that annoyed me is that it doesn't remember me and I have to log in every time I go to their site...
 
I've been using Cozi for over a year now and LOVE it! More so for the grocery list than the calendar, although I do use that too. I never use it on the computer though. I use the app.
 
yup, I use the FlyLady version and LOVE it... I love that if I remember something I forgot to put on the grocery list I can quick add it and Mark will get the add on to the list while he's out shopping, I love the FlyLady check lists and that I can add my homeschool schedule to my calendar and just go down the list making sure I have my morning routine done by the time we start school at 9... I love that we can all add something to the calendar and we can all see it... seriously one of my app must-haves :)
 
Thanks gals! It looks really neat! But at the moment they don't have a Windows Phone version of the app, which would essentially make it useless. I would need to be able to use the calendar while I'm out and about. If there's not an app, I might as well stick with the calendar I already have. Maybe they'll make a Windows Phone app (or even a Windows surface app someday!) Cool.
 
I just recently switched from Cozi to Google Calendar... I always had issues with the iphone app and it just took too long to enter appointments on the go.... other than that it's a fantastic calendar!
 
We used the shopping lists a lot over Christmas. I kept a list of things we were considering getting Rachel on there, and whenever hubby was on his way home from work in the mornings, he'd pop into Walmart (when there were no lines LOL), look on the list, and pick up some things. Made is soo much easier for me.
