Great app, needs to expand its features
All in all a pretty good app. Without purchasing the whole thing for free version does have its limits though. Has a full-featured things you need to help you manage your household, from linking up to you I calendar and planning events, to typing out grocery list, and planning meals. Has a nice feature that it download some coupons for you, and suggest some recipes. If you choose that recipe it will automatically download a grocery list for that lesson recipe into the app. However the recipes are pretty stagnant, they never update and get new ones. If you would expand the recipe planner or have a link to the website which has many many more recipes that would really help this app.

Meal Planner???
I really like the app EXCEPT for the "meal planner". I paid for the upgrade in hopes that I would have more meal plan options and it is exactly like the free version. I would really like the option to add MY OWN meal ideas and/or recipes. It is wrong to assume that everybody's meal planning needs fit in your pre-made list. I can manually add each meal to the calendar in order to add my own but that defeats the purpose of having a list of recipes to add to the meal planner and completely cancels the use of the add to shopping list feature. I knocked 3 stars off the rating because of this. Meal planning is an important part of my planning and it is not good in this app. If it is improved I will consider change my rating.

Calendar not syncing
I was intrigued enough to purchase this app to try it out in its entirety. I had expected the calendar to sync with my Google calendar but it won't. Everything is set up exactly as the FAQ tells me to do, but nothing from my calendar syncs in. My iPhone calendar does sync with Google calendar - but not this app. I tried contacting the creator of the app but since writing 2 days ago, I have gotten no reply. I'm disappointed - the whole reason I paid for the app was to see it all come together. It has failed to do that.

Full paid version does not sync - don't buy
Paid for the app and it does not sync iPad with iPhone - no visible icon on screen to sync when I open app on iPhone it does not even recognise that I have already purchased.
What's the point of a master list of groceries if you can't access it for the daily shopping list- no efficiency here - waste of money or fix it so it does what it supposed to do

Disappointing
The email for customer service doesn't work and there is no way to alter the lists. I can't believe how much it cost and how disappointed I am. I had this when it first came out and each subsequent upgrade has made it worse. I wish I had never upgraded all those versions ago.
Mom planner
Love this app, it's simplified life for us as a family and reduced my obsessive need for copious notebooks, calendars and diaries to try and co-ordinate our lives. Great, would just like more flexibility around meal planning, no big deal though!
Almost there!
I find this app very nice. I appreciate all the sections because it combines my lists into fewer more organized ones. It could be a little more user friendly.
My suggestions:
1) recipe section- I can cook, I'd love to add some of my family favorite recipes to personalize the section so I add to the calendar what I actually want to eat not all new experimental recipes for me. Even just being able to add the name would be nice. With that, it would be nice if the grocery list were easier to navigate. Like checking off groceries instead of deleting them so you can double check the list or if you could add prices next to it to keep in mind your budget, etc.
2) I would like multiple views of the calendar with all the hours listed as an Option. I like to plan out my day a little more in depth, so for instance if there was a day view with set plans (like appointments involving other people) and other plans (like work on chores during this time) and then a back up plan section that would be fabulous!
A normal back button would also be nice.
I have only had this app a few days, maybe a week, and I really like the idea. I just don't use it as much as I would like to because I find it difficult to navigate. I like to have a little bit more steady of a routine like Monday grocery shopping etc and it's difficult to insert that in this app.
However, I definitely find this app as a good start to a magnificent thing. Thank you!

Good idea!!
Looks awesome but I can't even open the app :(
Decent app
App is decent, it's a bit annoying how everything has to be in a folder in the To Do List, and the date that the lists in the shopping list section add is annoying and unnecessary. But it's pretty much a good and helpful app, easy to use for the most part.
Does not sync in iCloud
I bought this primarily because it says that it syncs across devices in iCloud so that I can prepare a long grocery list on my iPad and then have it show up on my phone. I have backed up to iCloud several times and I cannot get this to work. Unfortunately I now have an app that I paid for that is useless to me
