Family Organizer by Picniic

Thank you so much for doing it all right and paying attention to detail. Great implementation! LOVE that I can add my dogs! Would suggest that the Family Photos tile show the most recent preview of my actual family instead of stock photos of people and places that are not relevant...would go a long way to adding to a more custom feel. The recipes, the integration with the grocery list, an info locker that is ACTUALLY secure, so much thought was put into this...also, Circles is done well...I was able to test it and I can’t wait to try it out. The tiles are great...would be nice to hide them for those of us without kids like myself who don’t use “TeamSnap.” I would like to comment on the family photos that get uploaded. Also, can’t wait for the Albums feature. Trying to think what else...just a few more things and you could hold the market on this app category. Also, for dating couples where their family is dogs...I would love to see more integration with this and I think it could be a great unique selling point. Oh, and for lists/to-do would be nice to have an “undo” for when a list gets deleted by a family member (if they can delete it, haven’t tried) or they themselves who may have spent a lot of time creating it...it’s easy to do by accident and boom it’s gone. Ok, well anyways anyone looking for a family app...I have downloaded and spent about 10 hours looking at apps and this is the one...works great w/ iPhone X...sharp looking graphics.

My husband and I absolutely love everything about this app. You have taken everything that we needed help with and to coordinate and rolled it all into one wonderful package. My one issue is that we can’t afford to purchase the year license at this time, which really makes me sad. My kids have started chores and been locked from WiFi until they have completed the work, and that has really been the absolute best. One issue is that we have four pets and three kids, and we weren’t able to individualized the way I’d hoped in terms of putting ferrets and dogs info into app. I also couldn’t add our three grandparents to the family info which I would have liked to do because my mom does a lot for and with my kids, but we were only allowed so many per family. What happens when a larger family purchases this app? My mom and I would really benefit from a shared calendar especially but she isn’t going to purchase her own license. Love you Picnic though!! You have absolutely done the impossible and I now have app envy since I’m unable to have the full version.

I’ve been looking for a while for an app to use that would sync calendars, lists, notes and other info with my partner, as well as messaging - basically a way to have everything in the same place. Picniic ticks all the boxes (although having chat/messaging separate from the “Family News” which also includes a running feed of anything done on the app would be better), but about half the features are premium only, and the way that’s implemented is awful. Unless you’re willing to pay for a year in advance (currently $50, which is at a discount), the premium upgrade is $15 a month, which seems absurdly exorbitant. Meanwhile, if you don’t upgrade, they leave all the pro features on the home page right where they would be if you had access, with icons as large or larger than the usable features. I would probably be willing to pay for the premium service at a more reasonable price, or be less irritated with the premium features being on my home page, if they were minimized a bit. As it is now, though, it feels like the app is shoving the features I can’t use into my face all the time. I hope Picniic will either change the interface or make the yearly cost available month to month ($5 per month at their regular rates), as it’s the only app I’ve found so far that has these features and is not exclusive to iOS, but in the meantime, I’m looking elsewhere.

We are a busy family of six with kids in high school and middle school. Multiple sporting events and other family activities to track. This app is working great for us to keep track of where each other is at, share events with extended family such as grandparents and my sister. I love the auto check in places for the days that the kids forget to update me that they have been dropped off where they are supposed to be. The app is easy to use so my kids have been adding their own events which helps me know and stay on top of what’s going on. I have show this app to several friends and now have my sister using it so we can share our kids game schedules. I have had a couple of questions and concerns and their customer service has been great at getting back to me within 24 or less hours. And where they are able they have fix the issues right away. Keep up the good work!!

My girlfriend and I decided to try to use this app to manage things around the house as far as chores and grocery lists since we’re constantly in and out. We went with it because it was free but soon found that to take full advantage of it and use the section for, say, recipes you have to for mm out $15/month. Not feeling that. So we tried it for a little while. What annoyed me to know end was every time one of us would open the app, the other’s phone would be hit with (and I wish I was exaggerating) 45 notifications for tasks-no matter if they are marked “done” or not. That was possibly the most annoying thing about the app. Picture trying to sleep, one person opens the app to put in the grocery list “milk” because we’re running out, and at 1:00 AM the other person is woken up by their phone vibrating nonstop for the length of 45 app notifications. Notes to the programmers and creators: (1) KILL THE NOTIFICATIONS BUG. It is one of the main reasons I’ve decided to uninstall your app and seldom use it when I had it on my phone. (2) Come to your senses and realize that $15/month is insane. I’m sure there’s someone willing to pay it and for them I have beachfront property in Death Valley.
