You could even screenshot doctor’s appointments, and it would automatically create iPhone calendar events for your visits. Then the app stopped working. I reached out to them and let them know it was no longer operational. They said they would be updating all users with new features—but I never saw any updates. I followed up again, still no response. Now the app forces you to use Gmail and doesn’t have any real functionality unless you link everything through Gmail. I would’ve given this a 4.5 before the changes, maybe even a 5. Now I can’t even give it a 1. What a waste of a good app. ### 2/5 — Kinda useless *2025-04-10, version 1.5.3* I saw Amazon invested so I went to try again. It doesn’t do anything and I found better parenting AI alternatives like Ohai and Duckbill ### 1/5 — Does nothing *2025-04-04* It really doesn’t do anything that well ### 5/5 — Fabulous app *2025-03-18, version 1.4.665* This app is such a fabulous resource, you’ve really created something special for me as a busy working mom. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Updated…epic fail *2025-03-14, version 1.4.663* I’ve been using this app since before the name change. I use it for reminders. I loved the triggers based on location. Maybe I wanted to be reminded to buy eggs when I go to Walmart the next time, and it would wait until that condition was met. Recently there was an update. Now the app seems to be for all things related to only a child who is in school. Since that update, I’ve opened the app a few times and only to be plagued by a request to add my child (which I don’t have) and the name of the school. There is no way to skip it or decline the feature. When I attempt to use my own info for my college, it doesn’t work. Part of the process is connecting to my email account where it wants to search for emails from my school but it fails to find them regardless of whether I give it keywords or a specific sender’s email. So, I’m stuck. I’ll check back again later and maybe see if there’s a way to log in online without using the app but I’m guessing this is the end of my screws to the app. Very disappointing. The A.I. capabilities of the reminders feature was my only reason for using the app. ### 5/5 — Really helpful *2025-02-04, version 1.4.593* I use Ario to add all sorts of invitations and important dates on my calendar by taking a photo. Easy! The recent email features seem super cool. Hope there are more useful things like these over time. ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-01-25, version 1.4.575* I can’t believe this so is free. I love it. It works just as well as some paid apps as a therapist. But it’s a lot more versatile. ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS GREAT! *2024-12-23, version 1.4.524* I love this app.😍 ### 5/5 — Works Perfectly, Easy to Use, Time Saver *2024-12-10, version 1.4.524* Ario is an amazing app that truly helps make the busy professionals (and who happen to be parents) life easier! To start, the UI is designed extremely well and is very intuitive to use. Have an event flyer you know you won’t keep track of? Take a quick pick, upload to Ario, and bam. It’s in your schedule! You don’t even have to wait for it to create it, which is perfect considering I use my phone for work as well as my home life. Need to set a reminder? Easy as telling Ario when, where, and all the details you want. Highly recommend this for just about anyone, especially if you’re terrible with remembering to put things in the schedule and keep organized when the next school function is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 4/5 — A bit Buggy *2024-11-25, version 1.4.505* Its sometimes buggy and doesn’t understand me which is normal cause this is kind of a new technology but i hope it improves. ## Frequently asked questions about Ario ### What does Ario do?
