Staying organized is difficult when everybody in the family has different schedules and needs.

You get a calendar feature that collates all the calendar events from members of the family in a single place for easy viewing, as well as a grocery list function that updates in real-time, so if kids want to add items to the list and you’re already at the store, you’ll be able to see if once it’s added. No more asking family members to list everything they need in WhatsApp!
The app is available on Android and iOS as a free download, with a paid upgrade in-app that provides additional features like birthday tracking and more.
