So good!

I struggle a lot with managing my days and clutter brain! This has made my life SO easy, I look forward to my daily tasks. Thank you maple

Update for Meal Plan Sucks

I don’t understand the update. The previous version worked amazing. Separated meals into Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks… now it’s all lumped together.

Great but glitchy

I love love love this app especially for meal planning and groceries but it is pretty glitchy

Add recipe button broken

I started off loving this app and telling everyone about. Then today my add recipe button stops working. Now I have to add them into my calendar to save a recipe into my recipe box. I deleted the app and redownload it. Still didn’t work. I need it to work again.

Amazing!

I seen this advertised I was using time tree but this has so much more organisation and options I had about 5 different apps but now I can merge all the information into one app! and I love how this groceries list has categories it's not just all random so when Im shopping I can get what I need in each section of the supermarket in one glance instead of sifting through my list that's randomised

Robust, but lacking a few key features.

So far I really like this app as a competitor to FamilyWall. However, it misses out on a few things that I personally find very valuable—I cannot customise the defaults on the Calendar, so every time I input a new event I have to take the time to adjust the notifications, and make sure the event doesn’t get added to my food prep list (seriously?). The calendar also doesn’t include public holidays, and there’s no option to set task events (like recurring bills) to not show on the main calendar. This clutters my scheduling calendar quite a lot and makes the various event lists less desirable to use.

It outshines FamilyWall in the impressive offerings for tools and including the meal prep and budgeting options inside the paywall. However, the calendar pitfalls are (to me) major drawbacks, considering the calendar is the most important function for a busy family. Event lists? Awesome addition. Not being able to customise those key functions? Not awesome.

My final gripe—no swipe to delete function on to-do lists, and no “delete all completed tasks” option. You have to manually select, scroll, and click delete on every list item to clear them away completely after they’ve been checked off.

I want to love this app! It has some awesome features and is beautifully robust—but these little functionality features make it hard to want to switch from my current workhorse.

So much improvement, room for more!

I used maple when it first came out, i wrote a review and subsequently deleted the app and returned to Cozi until recently when I tried the app and found the improvements great, great work on the roadmap productivity, I paid for the app this time and we now use it for about half of our workflow for managing our household- 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 adults and our nanny. The main issue we have is that it doesn’t integrate with Alexa, (though we do appreciate the Google calendar integration so can explore ways to use this in other ways), and because we add all our to do items and shopping items to Alexa lists via the voice commands from devices around our house we continue to have to manually update those before doing anything in maple. I would love to be able to update the app on a desktop somehow as the adults in our family don’t have phones on us that much through the day. I looked to see if there were any API docs to be able to add items to lists via postman but don’t see anything that would make this app more extensible. We like the UI, it’s pretty, the billing is a little confusing for a household as the membership appears to be for a person not a household and I wouldnt pay twice to enable our nanny or husband to access the premium app if I have paid for it for myself.
We are still exploring ways to use the app to streamline our day to day use of it, more integrations would really help here.

Wow, so happy to hear you are enjoying the improvements. We are truly doing our best over here! The integration idea with Alexa is a really cool idea and I'm sure something our team will explore in the future. In the meantime, we have some really really exciting updates coming over the course of the next few months that we hope will continue to make managing day-to-day life way easier. Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It means a lot to hear you can see and feel the improvements we've been working so hard to make.

Love you guyyyyssss

What the heck this app is so amazing and it’s free 🥹 I could literally cry it makes my brain feel so zen knowing I have a push notification for every bill, chore, and maintenance that’s needed. Adulting is so hard and you made it so easy. Thank you ilysm ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing App, Only on iPhone

This app is amazing but a web or Mac version would make everything so much easier.

Perfect for getting my life together! Just missing a few things…

This app is perfect for organizing a lot of chaotic parts in life and I have been loving it! Honestly it has been so refreshing to have all the information in one place and keep me on track. Totally recommend the plus version … if you are on the fence try the seven day free trail!

Honestly the only thing it’s missing is getting it comparable to IPad and Mac. The current version for IPad and Mac makes it small instead of filling up the whole screen. Hopefully that is coming soon!
