Worst App I’ve Ever Encountered

Just downloaded and tabs have disappeared. I can’t change permissions nor add or delete family members. I’ve emailed and called for help. No answer

The app offers extensive permission options, including the ability to remove permissions from your own account, which is why the tabs disappeared, and you were no longer able to add or delete. We sincerely regret this occurrence and are addressing the issue that led to this rare outcome. We do our best to respond to all user inquires and did respond the same day, though clearly not fast as this good person desired.

Useful planner tool but adding diary events is painful

I used Cozi for years but they changed the format and ruined it, so looked for something new.

Family Tools is much better, it has more functionality albeit some of it is only in the premium chargeable version.

For my needs I want to track what food shopping I need throughout the week running up to the day I go shopping. And I want to plan the meals we are going eat, planning these contributes the shopping list.

The problem is that adding a diary entry (a meal) is cumbersome. Even if you click on the day you still have to then select the date in the event entry and it defaults to select the time first. Selecting the date from the calendar is hard work. This is very frustrating. If this could be made easier, i.e. choose the date and add a full day entry on that date, then I’d be a happy User!

Almost great

Have been using this for a few months and liked it pretty well at first. Two things that bugged me from the start: I wish it would allow pictures in the recipe section and I hated that it didn't notify me for chores/tasks occuring weekly/monthly (had to be date specific). Then they updated and took away the leveling up and instead went to a reward of stars for in app item purchases. That took away from the kids competing against each other and now they don't care to do what they need to. Not a good move.

Meant for American market

Looks good but because it only uses American format rather than adopting the regional format makes it less useful, filled in a few dates and wondered why our party had moved from 8th June to 6th August! Won’t be upgrading to premium until that is fixed.

Not linking properly

Good app in theory but it doesn’t seem to link properly. When my kids log in and go on their profile nothing is showing up but when on the parent account it’s all there.

Not working correctly now

I have Loved this app from the beginning, but something isn't right now.

I use categories in my shopping lists to help me find the items in a timely manner in the store.

However, it has not been saving the category lately...no matter if I add it when first adding the item, or add it later...once I leave the list and go back in, all the categories are gone, and it shows everything as "uncategorized".

Can this be fixed?

Can’t figure out how to add a child with email

It explains how to add a child with no emails but at that point the child have to use your device, I suppose.
My kids are younger than 13 and they have iPads. I wanted them to be in charge with the app. I can add their emails but I can’t create an account for them since they are under 13. How can I do that? How can I download the app in their devices and create their kid account linked to my parent account? It’s confusing..

Sorry to hear that the signup process has been confusing. We do offer multiple ways to use the app to fit different family situations. The under 13 years of age COPPA rule is a federal internet rule and not our rule. A parent can choose to accept the terms for their child. Please reach out to us at support@familytools.app so that we can assist you with this issue.

Wonderful app! Features for free and paid!

I love how easy and simple the app is to use. I enjoyed making goals with my wife and trying to schedule out my day in the calendar, and my wife was able to see it from her family tools app. It would be even more useful when we have kids i think, but it’s definitely been nice even as a couple. It’s a great way to share productivity with each other.

I also love the humor there developers put in some of the messages - they seem like cool people!

The one suggestion I would have is if the developers could make the calendar app function like a daily planner where you can tap the time slots you want to schedule an event on, sort of like google calandre. Great app overall, well done!

Pretty cool app

I love using lists and chores. It’s also easy to plan things as a family and homework’s great for my son, especially right now where he’s doing so much schoolwork at home. Notifications that he’s completed his homework and chores is also cool. I like the rewards, but I do wish there was more of them.
