Cozi Family Organizer for Negative User Reviews
✓ Some pluses, some drawbacksI appreciate that there is an ability to create calendar, grocery and to do list, however the app would be much more helpful if you could set times /dates with optional reminders for items to be completed on the to-do list. And there should be the option to have daily, weekly, monthly, etc. reminder for tasks if desired. Not everyone is using this for family, some are using this for work so that would be helpful for when you have a bunch of to-do tasks that need to be done by a certain time but don’t necessarily qualify as events. That way you don’t have to clog up the calendar with tasks that will be completed throughout the day, and tasks can easily be separated by team member, so that each team member can just focus on their list of tasks and deadlines. Also, please make it possible/easier to nest tasks under a task heading, with a clear separation from the rest of the tasks. Considering the fact that after downloading, this app immediately lets you know that it can link with Google calendar and outlook, it would really make much more sense for the app to have these additional capabilities as well. I think this could become a game changing app with those features added. Update: please allow personal, private calendars as well, with the option of sharing parts of the calendar with other members odd the user sees fit..Version: 9.8.56
✓ Not what I expectedThis calendar does it work well with other calendars. It doesn’t exchange with other calendars well it’s all read only. Doesn’t work with Alexa. You can’t do much as far as settings when your not on a desktop. The “month view” is not color coded. It’s the most basic view and is hard to read. This could be so great but I feel like it was a waste of money. There’s really NO REASON to buy the subscription. The free version is essentially the same since the month view is lacking in every way. That’s the only thing you get with upgrade. I will not buy again next year. Thanks for the reply. I’ve already been in contact with Cozi. They have given me the same links. The information is available it simply isn’t helpful. It does nothing with Alexa except lists which, for all the “works with Alexa” excitement I found, is really misleading. It should say “only works with lists in Alexa” I expect a more IFTTT approach with a family calendar. I expected to pay the premium and have lots of extras. Instead, I paid and found out it’s useless with Alexa and it’s exactly the same as I was for free. I’ll know better next year. It’s unfortunate because it COULD be a really valuable tool if it did more. And add some vegetarian and vegan recipes please. The one thing I can say, is you have great people working for you. They genuinely want to help. They are all very courteous and kind..Version: 9.8.24
✓ USELESSCozi Gold member here… last several weeks have been a frustrating mix of “messages” that tell me that I’m “offline” (I’m not), or that “another family member removed the list” (they didn’t) and I’m actually beginning to be suspicious about the app. Customer support has been polite but all he tells me is to delete app and then reinstall, shut down phone, etc. All the things a middle schooler would try. He tells me that they are not able to recreate my problem, which they would need to be able to do in order to solve it. I’m no app developer, but I’m thinking somebody had to program in those messages I’m getting and determine when to show them. Something is fishy since what the error messages are telling me are not reality. EVERY NOW AND THEN I can actually add something to a list only to have a message appear that I can’t add it because of one of the made up reasons and it goes away. But most of the time I can’t even log into the website to work with my lists. And if I click “forgot password” even though I didn’t forget but thought it might help something, the promised email with a reset link never comes. This is a highly rated app and we used to love it but something is going on. Maybe everyone that works there quit after someone messed it up???.Version: 9.8.29
✓ Mostly great app; trouble after recent updateI generally like using this app, yet have had tech problems since the latest update. It could simply be the combination of the app update and my phone software version, which needs an update. Anyway, my tech problem with the app is that I go to make a change in a calendar entry, try to save it; nothing happens. So, I just close out of the app. Going back into it only takes me to the same screen where I tried to save changes. Then I close it again, turn my phone off, wait a minute or two, turn it back on and go into the app. That’s when I see my changes have been applied and the only way and I have to repeat these steps one calendar entry at a time. If I have to change 10 different calendar entries, this causes me to turn my phone off and back on 10 times. I just don’t know if it’s a matter of my overall phone software version or the app, but this problem has been happening for a few days now..Version: 9.8.60
✓ Gold scam alert!!I have asked for help now for over six months!! 2 years ago all was well in the family plan I thought it would be a neat gift for the family so I added the gold and my account was charged for several years. My family and myself never got access as it was only placed on my email and not the family!! Once I realized this I was eliminated from the family plan and now almost a year of email cannot get back to see the family plan. This with covid and 2 daughter graduating from high school has made COZI useless to me and not worth the money for gold or aggravation. I would highly not recommend this software as they scam you into going Gold then lock you out of the account and the only support is through email and very slow! I am not the only one that has experienced this as their frequently asked questions states if this occurs get in touch with customer service! I would highly advise seeking better business bureau help and or cancelling your card as they do not respond in a timely manner! The message I got was they see my plan and that I have paid for the service but they never attached it to the family plan and it has never worked!! Beware of the scam!!.Version: 9.8.23
✓ Remove irrelevant holidays/eventsAlthough this is helpful for keeping our family commitments in one place, it would be good to be able to delete all the holidays/events that are irrelevant (or be able to set it by state). These clog up the diary as well as making it harder to make an entry..Version: 9.8.29
✓ Setting event timesWhen entering a time for start of an event to put in calendar the clock is on a spinning dial that moves too fast. It is also too close to the bottom of the page - the page moves up instead of the dial spinning.Version: 9.8.46
✓ Save Your MoneyWe found this app to be a waste of money. It’s not easy to use on my iPhone or macbook and their customer service is marginal at best. The best part of Cozi Gold is, if you don’t like the app after purchasing it, you can’t get your money back..Version: 8.2.5472
✓ Useful, but missing a few useful functionsI’ve moved over to using cozi from the apple calendar. I like being able to put my recipes into my calendar. I really miss the “today” function that takes you straight back to today when you’ve just put something into next years calendar. I was using the free version and eventually moved to the paid for version. I don’t think it’s worth the money to be honest, I should have just stuck with the free one. The month view calendar is ok but it would be useful if when you pressed on a day you could then see that day in more detail instead of going back to the weekly view to find that day..Version: 9.5.2
✓ The principal is there but in practice...I wanted something that would sync with my apple calendar and as such I could use it to help manage my family. (Our apple calendar currently syncs together. Anyway set it up and synced to my apple calendar and it is not a smooth seamless process at all. You upload from one to the other and the entry takes ages to show on the other calendar, if at all! When the entries to finally appear they get copied x4 in the same day in different colours because each family member has a separate profile in Cozi. So your calendar ends up with 5 or 6 entries for the same event. (You have also added from Apple hence the multitude of entries. I then tried to delete the multitude of entries to try and tidy things up a bit and yet they remain. I deleted them from cozi again, and they all still remain showing on my apple calendar! I paid for a year which I really regret a I have now deleted it from my device..Version: 9.8.6
✓ CalendarI am having issues with the calendar. When I am trying to put a new item. It is showing 1971. How can I fixed it?.Version: 9.8.25
✓ No watch app or widgetI don’t know how this is one of the popular apps when they don’t even have watch or widget support. So inconvenient and wouldn’t take much from the developer. Apps with 100 downloads has more features than this app. Disappointing.Version: 9.8.29
✓ Using for years and my rating keeps going downI’ve been using Cozi, as a Gold subscriber for years. I started out rating it 5 stars and recommending it to all my friends and family. Now, I only use it because there aren’t many other great options and it’s a pain to switch to something else. Over the years it seems the development team has basically stopped investing in this app. The UI looks the same as it did when I originally installed it, which now seems dated. They used to add new features regularly; now, I see bugs causing the app to crash in basic scenarios for months before they get around to addressing them. I’ve finally moved over to a new recipe system and meal organizer, found a new way to manage my family’s calendar and an app to track family location. Cozi had so much potential to be the “Hub” for our family. Instead, the only thing I’m bothering to use this for now is the shared shopping list because my kids are trained to put what they need on it. Once I find a better solution for that, it will be bye-bye Cozi unless something revolutionary happens with this app..Version: 9.8.20
✓ Home page blankI reached out to customer service but haven’t heard back from them. On computer my account looks fine but on the app my homepage is completely blank. No summary of upcoming events or lists. There seems to be nothing in the help screens that explain what could be going on. Weird to have a four page app and one of them has absolutely nothing on it..Version: 9.8.20
✓ Great app!!Love this app if only the to do list had a weekly calendar that would make things even better!.Version: 5.2.470
✓ GinaWould like to be able to print out month/week views..Version: 9.8.36
✓ LanguageIt’s just available in english. We chose an another app available also in french. Ciaoo!.Version: 9.8.39
✓ Simple improvements and could be greatA great idea for an app and could be amazing. The monthly layout isn’t great (I get mixed up with the date and event being at opposite sides of the box, makes you think the event is on a different date). Plus a dark mode would be sooo much better, hate having a bright white background..Version: 9.8.36
✓ Family share function doesn't workMy mother and I decided to try this as we are renovating the house and need to keep track of everything that needs doing. The list functions are great but despite using the family password, neither of us can see one another's lists. This is one of the most advertised functions of this app and it didn't work..Version: 9.5.1
✓ They deleted a featureWe’ve been using cozi for three years at least which means we’ve paid our subscriptions every time. The planner was good, I use the calendar and the reminders. It used to have a journal feature which I used a lot to. You could put a photo and a memo related to that photo. I was lucky to have been in the app and noticed they had a message that this feature would be removed in December last year. I had to print off all these memories (80 pages worth) and now am seeking an alternative to this app that has this feature. They replied to me saying this feature wasn’t worth then renewing when I enquired. If the company can and will do that then I don’t trust that my information is safe and that they won’t do or change something else which will be a huge inconvenience. Not a happy customer and wanted to pass on my story to others to consider before choosing this app..Version: 9.8.19
✓ I downloaded it thinking it was free.How can I cancel this app that I do not want to purchase snd pay for?.Version: 9.8.23
✓ 2+Not bad but will raise it to 5 stars once I can bring all my calendars over to Cozi. I do like the layout and how everything is. I bought gold thinking that when I sync my google cal or Apple cal it would remind me of my events on my calendar but it does not. I’m not going into every single event I have on Cozi to change it to send me a Notification. It should have this option as a default but it does not. Yes I have it enabled in my settings to receive notifications . I have tested this in your app if you do not put to remind you which again it should be set to do this as default to remind you then it will not remind you at all and then I tested to remind me and it reminded me. No one wants to go into every single event and put send reminder. That’s why it should be set as default so it actually reminds you when you add a calendar to your app. Hopefully it’s something you add soon cause I know myself would love for every time you make an event or move calendars over it puts notifications as a default. Wish I knew it didn’t have this before buying it..Version: 9.8.15
✓ Waste of timeSimple tasks like sharing and inviting calendar prompted for a shared family password where there wasn’t any option to set that up. Looking to get a monthly view with events and you have to upgrade. Developers must have been desperate to get money for having such a low threshold and not let users get comfortable with the app before pull the trigger. I would highly doubt that 4.7 stars are legit reviews….Version: 9.8.29
✓ Great with an annoying flawMy family has used this app for awhile and likes it overall. However I am sick of the fact the app is set up in a way where your lists pop up, then after a delay of a second or so what is on the page shifts so that an advertisement link is in the place where your list used to be. Too many times I hit an ad link instead of my list because of this last minute “page layout switch.” This does NOT happen on other apps and I have a very nice iPhone so this an app feature that I have had enough of. After being tricked into clicking an ad too many times today I am considering finding a better app. I have no doubt this is done deliberately to give the appearance of an inflated number of ad clicks but it is stupid and useless. If I do not want to see an ad and did not deliberately click it then it quickly gets closed out quickly anyway, but I am tired of dealing with thus irritation for the appearance of extra ad clicks. There is no excuse for this. Unfortunate..Version: 9.8.10
✓ Dashboard keeps disappearingI love this app but found not only were things not turning up on other devices but the dashboard is always empty. I got so excited when I saw it all at a glance but now it’s just a blank screen. I have to go to the different sections to see anything. Shame about that as that was something that really excited me.Version: 9.8.8
✓ App ok, Web platform badIt’s not the greatest. Still some glitches like stuff not showing up when you enter it or showing up double in calendar and lists. Items not disappearing after deletion, etc. But my favorite feature was being able to see all calendar entries on the web platform. Then I could see my month or two in advance. The recent change and inability to see all entries at once, plus the lack of ability to scroll through month view, has massively downgraded the experience for me. Bring back month scrolling and let me see all entries. then improve the zoom-ability (vs last version where there was only see all when zoomed out and see two days when zoomed in) and I’ll be a happy camper..Version: 9.8.29
✓ No full month view optionI liked the app a lot but had to cancel as there is no option to see your month at a glance. I like to be able to see my whole months schedule when trying to plan and organize. Hope they improve this soon!.Version: 9.8.29
✓ Removing the Journal!!! 😡I have been a user of this app for my son for the past 2 years, I and my sons mother have shared care of our child and use this app heavily for appointments and other things but the greatest feature of this app was being able to share things among the family in the journal section and being able to look back on achievements and fun times. I think this is very disappointing to see this feature being removed. I don’t think we will continue using this app once December starts and the journal feature is gone..Version: 9.8.17
✓ Loved it for years until nowAll of a sudden you can’t do a shopping list without massive 3-line target ads. Ads are one thing but we don’t event have target in our country. It’s so annoying that after using this app for years, I’m going to go find another one..Version: 9.8.23
✓ Good… but room for improvementBrilliant for organising a busy family, however after using for over 2 years, a few comments: 1) we still get ‘hints’ every time. After 2 years I know how to use the app, please suppress these. They are annoying! 2) notifications aren’t reliable, especially for person 2. The ‘main’ account is the default… please consider making that an option. 3) Lists: reminds me every time of ‘shopping mode’. I know what shopping mode is…. I use it everytime: ‘Helpful’ hints are not helpful. These are only small things, but they lead you to question: do they developers use their own app? Surely you can spot these things. 🤷♂️.Version: 9.8.23
✓ Good, but a few odditiesI have used this app for a few years now (both Gold and free versions). It’s generally good for organising lists and keeping family calendars (as it should). However, a few odd things keep bugging me: - I live (and downloaded this app) in the UK, so why do I get bombarded with ads from Target in the middle of my grocery list?! - Adding items in the monthly calendar view wasn’t intuitive - Having events listed ABOVE the day’s number in the calendar month has thrown us off a few times. Seems more intuitive to have them listed below the day’s number - Small, but...Why do all words of each list item under Shopping automatically get capitalised, while this isn’t the case under To Do? Please drop the capitals! I’ve now started shopping for a new family organisation app, of which there are many..Version: 9.8.4
✓ Ads forcing you to purchase subscriptionI have used Cozi for years (both free and paid versions). Recent update to insert ads into each item of my shopping list to force a paid subscription has me looking for alternative apps. Very disappointing..Version: 9.8.24
✓ Don't sign up unless you want an inbox full of useless emailsDon't sign up unless you want an inbox full of useless annoying emails for both you and your other family members Have tried to unsubscribe at least 10 times but no luck hoping that removing the app will work now but I'm not holding my breath!.Version: 6.7.2611
✓ Sorry to see the old version “updated”I have had a Gold subscription to Cozi for many years. I used it nearly every day for various organizational skills. I am not sure who purchased this app and who is in charge of the changes they made this year, but they need to be fired. This new “ improved “ version is a mess. Much more difficult to use the section that accepts and stores recipes. It is cumbersome and not user friendly in so many ways. I don’t know who these new IT developers are, but they don’t get it. They must never have used the old version which was wonderful and user friendly. I tried to give this new version time to work out the kinks- that hasn’t happened. I have used this new version for several months now and I absolutely hate it. They took a perfectly good app and ruined it. The list section is still good and useful , but the recipe section is just plain awful. I am moving on. I am going somewhere else to store my recipes. Maybe they don’t want you to use the recipe section so they made it so it much more difficult to use. Who knows. Honestly, is is a shame and I used to love this app. No more..Version: 9.8.29
✓ Would love to give it more stars…To be honest I really like a lot of things about this app. However, the most important thing I’m looking for when scheduling family chores is the ability to be able to check off an item and have it a repeatable checklist. I know that you can make schedules and repeat events, but it’s unhelpful when I still have to ask everyone if they’ve done their chores, because we can’t check them off! So unfortunately I find this app completely useless without this feature :( and they’ve been saying they’re hoping to add it for 8 years now… found a post on Facebook stating that..Version: 9.8.25
✓ Was once a great appThis used to be my go to family organizer. I’ve been using this app since it’s inception. The main reason I use it is to I collect recipes and make grocery list from recipes. This used to be very simple. You could upload recipes from websites, or create your own. It also allows you to make custom recipe boxes/collections and keep specific recipes tagged and in these collections. I tagged hundreds of recipes with multiple tags over the years making it easy to search for a specific recipe. I can no longer search by tag and/or if you can, the user interface is so bad that I cannot find that feature. That’s just one of MANY issues and glitches that I’ve encountered when they updated the site. Sometime last year they updated their website and it completely destroyed the user experience and some of the most useful features of the site. The website not only looks terrible now, it functions very poorly. Creating recipes, sharing recipes, and adding them to lists is a chore. I’m going to slowly transition to FamilyWall a similar app, but unfortunately they don’t have a desktop version. I’m sorely disappointed! Why would you ruin something so good!?.Version: 9.9.0
✓ Used to loveI have used this app with the paid gold subscription for many years and used to love it. I’ve even told many people about it and gotten them to use it for their family organization. The new updated web version is awful though. It’s les intuitive and doesn’t flow as easily. One of the best features was the meal planning section. It was so easy to use and I could see all the meals planned in one spot. I could enter a link to a recipe, or add sides like “steamed broccoli” for those items that don’t need a recipe and everyone on the calendar would know what’s for dinner and what to cook if they were the first to get to it. Now with the update to the web version I have to have add an actual recipe for everything and I have to organize it through the calendar instead of a separate, easy to organize and see section just for meals. This app no longer suits my needs and I will be switching to a different app that allows for me to plan meals in a way that is intuitive and makes sense. Basically I need to find the old version of Cozi. How disappointing..Version: 9.8.29
✓ Doesn’t work with Apple WatchI really like this app, get to manage the family calendar and job lists. There are a few glitches. If I remove something from my Apple calendar it doesn’t update in Cozi so it still shows the events and also it doesn’t work with Apple Watch which is a nightmare as I now can’t see any of my appointments. I was just about to upgrade to the full version but this has put me off! Please change this!.Version: 9.8.29
✓ Crashes on iPhone 5 even with up to date iOSCrashes on iPhone 5 even with up to date iOS.Version: 9.8.27
✓ Worked for 2 minutesI’m guessing they want me to pay for it even before I see how useful it could be. I would but... 22 pounds a year is a lot for something that keeps telling to try later. If it don’t work now and tells me to try later is not really the app I need or want to pay money to. After all making my life easier is writing things down as I remember not later when I forget them. So yep, shame cause it looked full of potential for 2 minutes..Version: 9.7.2
✓ Nice for families but...UPDATE: with all of the free apps available these days, this one is outrageously expensive annually for the gold membership benefits. I researched for months before getting this calendar. I’m a grandmother who babysits for multiple families. It’s very hard scheduling between us all over the phone and we needed a place where we could put our schedules that we could merge together and see who is available when. This one works very nicely even as the free version. But for our needs we upgraded to the paid version which I think is too expensive. The only problem I have with this app other than the high annual cost, is I find it very difficult to distinguish between the months , weeks and days. I think there needs to be a higher contrast visually as you scroll through. Sometimes I put my things in the wrong box because distinguishing between them is not that easy. The location of the date in the box is sometimes a little confusing. I just think there needs to be a better visual display separating the months, weeks and days. Especially for anybody with low vision but even for those with good vision. Otherwise it’s a nice app in the paid version offers many useful features..Version: 9.8.5
✓ Good sharing capabilities but not so user friendlyCozi works well for us as a family as we can all see what is in the diary coming up in the week. However, the diary format is not as user friendly as other diaries I have used. On month view you can’t see the time of the appointment and it is quite difficult to tap the event to get more details and edit. It’s great if you need to share diaries but I wouldn’t use it if you only need a personal diary system without the sharing feature..Version: 9.8.4
✓ Pretty good but doesn’t work with 3GThis app is pretty good. It allows us all to take responsibility for adding things to the shopping list and then the list is always with you when you’re out. The whole family’s calendars are in one place. It would be nice to have a private feature on the calendar so the whole family doesn’t know you’ve booked a bikini wax! My main problem with it is that it doesn’t work with 3G. If you have no 4G or WiFi, only 3G, and you add anything to your list or calendar it is not saved. This is really frustrating because you then have to remember everything you added and add it again when you have better phone reception.Version: 9.8.5
✓ Ok for basic stuffI found this app looking for something to help with meal planning and was glad to see it had calendar features too. Unfortunately the recipe suggestions and categories are useless if you're looking for vegetarian recipes -- and the idea of being able to search just for dairy free (or vegan) options is a joke. I tried to search for "vegetarian" and got zero results even though I'd already saved one recipe that claimed to be a veggie twist on a traditional meal... so maybe the recipes are there, they just don't make them easy to find. Lots of meat recipes though, if that's your thing. But here's the real problem: I like a lot of the features, but was disappointed that some things I'd like to be able to do require annual membership payments. I'd be willing to just pay a flat fee for the app, but considering how much they're asking for monthly or yearly memberships they'd probably ask a ridiculous amount for a one-time purchase to unlock all features. My main issue with paying monthly to unlock features is that there are only SOME that I want to use. It's expensive to pay the subscription anyway, but when you only want one or two features...? Forget it. Maybe they could make cheaper, flat-rate purchase packs that unlock only certain things? I dunno, it seems crazy expensive to me for what it is and what I'd use it for. I'd rather just stick with google calendar and a free app or two to fill in the blanks (like to do and shopping lists)..Version: 9.5.1
✓ Hard to fix setup errorMy wife and I heard good things about this app so we both got it and got accounts then tried to link them together but found it impossible because you simply can’t. You have to delete one account first but the instructions for how to delete an account tell you to sign in on a computer (why not just on a phone internet browser if they have to make it hard?) then go to Help and search for ‘delete’ - but nothing relevant comes up (on the phone). Maybe it’s our fault for not reading the instructions properly before making an account, but it shouldn’t be so hard to fix a mistake that’s so easy to make..Version: 9.8.9
✓ Month Calendar ViewI am currently on a trial for Gold and have been testing out other family organization apps. I love most of what Cozi has to offer and I love the simple and user friendly interface and text, however the month calendar view that I was so excited to get access too is disappointing to say the least. The layout is awful and actual distinct boxes and the date numbers on the upper left of each box would be less confusing, I would prefer color coded text and the ability to click on the day and have the events pull up underneath the calendar in a manner similar to the week view, with even the option to scroll through the subsequent days in this section as well. Also, being able to set an actual location that can be pulled up on maps would be amazing! I am still looking at other options, but I see so much potential for Cozi. I just can’t justify paying the premium for access to a calendar that is essentially unusable..Version: 9.8.8
✓ Not as good as I thought it wasWhen I found this calendar I was so excited. We have a really busy family and lots of moving parts. I was so happy I wouldn't have to send emails and texts as reminders anymore or field the when and where questions. It was all at our fingertips. Until I had to get a new phone. My old phone died. I got a new one and as is the usual I needed to sign back into the app. Only I can't sign back in. At all. I thought I had forgotten my password, but nope, my email address isn't recognized. I emailed customer service where I get an auto generated response telling me it will be at least 3 days before they will get back to me. If I am paying for the app (which Im not) it will be sooner. So after waiting 3 days I receive an email suggesting that I may have typed in the wrong email address or spelled it incorrectly. This is as if I'm bot intelligent enough to think of that on my own that I had to wait three days for someone to point it out. So I responded to the email letting them know what I tried and guess what...they will get back to me in 3-5 days. I will no longer be using this app. If I have to start a new account I would rather go to an app that cares about their customers and that realizes how important a family calendar is. So incredibly disappointed in this app and their level of customer service..Version: 9.5.1
✓ No way to speak to anyone on getting help with AppNo way to speak to anyone on getting help with App.Version: 9.8.10
✓ Still dislikeI tried this app several years ago in a coparenting situation and didn’t care for it then. We ended up using a different, much more expensive, app/site and were happy for several years. I pulled this app back in this month because my husband and I need one calendar for our family. The one he wanted to use required invitations to be sent, which weren’t accepted, and events didn’t get added. I prefer paper, which cannot be shared easily on the go with three kids. I was really really happy with it for about four days. I entered a TON of events and activities and travel information. I entered grocery lists and to-dos. I loved it for what I needed. Then I gave my husband the password to log in and join me. That’s pretty much when the honeymoon ended. Day 1- my to-dos and grocery lists were deleted. Okay. No problem. Rentered it all. Day 2- every. Single. Effing. Calendar entry was DELETED. don’t know what he did. But I can almost guarantee he doesn’t either. I do know that, literally, hours of my time were wasted. So I deleted the app. There’s no way to secure the entries and protect them from deletion. It’s too risky to depend on this calendar for actual families who need this information saved..Version: 9.8.0
✓ It’s just going downhill at this point.I have used Cozi for over 5 years. I’ve recommended it to a ton of people since. It’s the best organization -per person- app I’ve ever come across. I actually initially downloaded it for the syncing grocery list between my husband and I. I loved that there were no extra hoops or Dropbox settings necessary for it to sync across devices. It just did it’s thing all on its own! I only used this app after that! When renewing this year I saw the price increased $10 and I just don’t see why. There haven’t been any noticeable changes in at least 2/3 years. Not themes, grocery item prices for a running total, no more widget choices, heck, not even added colors to choose from for each person. I was okay with $20 when I found it, but for a price increase after this long without improvements, I’m going to want to see more. It hardly gets updated, so there are a ton of bugs. It’s sad to see something with this just potential crash and burn. I’ll be finding something else before my February renewal in a couple weeks..Version: 9.8.35
✓ It’s okayFor what we use this app for its not bad. My only issue was that as soon as I had signed up I started getting inundated with spam emails which has been really annoying.Version: 9.8.29
✓ Won’t let you delete account!! Data scam!Opened up the app and realised it was badly designed and clunky - the last thing you want for a planning app! I went straight to delete the account (link was buried in the FAQ) and entered my email and password as per the instructions. Password rejected straight away as incorrect - it wasn’t. It was directly from my key chain. I had to email customer support just to delete it. Any company that makes it this difficult for people to leave and have their data deleted is not a company i want to have on my phone. Beware!!.Version: 9.8.13
✓ NotificationsIs ok but need to have push notifications tht something has changed eg a family member has updated a list etc. otherwise we have have to keep checking which is time consuming and we forget.Version: 9.6.3
✓ Don’t buy Gold; terrible designI made the $30 mistake of purchasing Gold, primarily so that I could access the 1-month calendar view. I didn’t realize- because you cannot preview the full calendar view without paying $30- that Cozi has decided to format their calendar exactly opposite to any other calendar I have ever used. On each day’s rectangle, the day’s events are formatted to the very top, while the numerical date is formatted to the bottom. Maybe the malfunction is specific to my brain and not the app, but I was absolutely confused as to which week the calendar items were associated with. I contacted Cozi support and they let me know that while they were more than happy to TAKE my money, they were sorry to report that they have absolutely no mechanism to give it back. They pointed me to Apple Support, which summarily rejected my request for a refund without even allowing a human being to read what I had typed into their text box. So, buyer beware. You’ll have to shell out $30 to discover the mystery of whether or not Cozi’s absolutely unintuitive design and interface confuses you as much as it did me..Version: 9.8.13
✓ Good to start but awkward once filled up.The shopping list is really good but then you get it full and it has no search options and doesn’t tell you you have duplicates so it just ends up a mess that you have to scroll for ages searching for whatever it is your after. A few simple fixes would really help make it useful..Version: 9.8.20
✓ Not Worth It!Frankly, for £29 per annum, I would expect a much better app than this. It offers very little for the money. I am based in the U.K. and the date format cannot be changed to show the day before the month. How simple is this to programme? The calendar display, which is surely why most will use it, is confusing in the extreme. If looking via iPad, or n a mobile phone, it Is very difficult to ascertain which day you are looking at. I would recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing this app to think again! Don’t waste your money..Version: 9.8.25
✓ Better instructions requiredBoth me and the lass downloaded the app as we wanted to share calendars. We both went in and were prompted to register, which we did. Then we tried to add the each other - but it doesn’t work like that and once you have registered you can’t be added to anyone else (only one person in a family should register and then add the rest). No instructions or warnings about this. So I have to delete my account before I can be added to the hers. But now after deleting my account via the web, I now find it takes two weeks to complete. Hence this app is now entirely useless to us and we have moved to an alternative. This app needs to come with warnings and proper instructions.Version: 9.7.2
✓ Everything deleted!!!All my lists, my agenda, appointments etc… all gone!!! How unreliable!!!.Version: 9.8.25
✓ No more links to recipes?They used to link to magazine recipes monthly..Version: 9.8.29
✓ Good but could be betterI use this app primarily to share lists for completion but once an item has been purchased it doesn’t drop to the bottom leaving only those items still to be collected. The result is with a long list that you scroll up and down looking for outstanding items. Could this be a simple fix? Otherwise it’s easy to use..Version: 9.8.15
