I like that it synces to my Google Calendar, I love that we can color code, I love all the options. We use it for family and friends activities. The only thing I wish is the activity center was accurate. When I open the app it will say a 2 for things added but the activity center does not say that these were made. Sometimes it will say an update was made to an event but it doesn’t always. It mostly features changes I have made but not my husband or family members. But then I can go to calendar view and see it was updated recently. Sometimes I have to copy an added event to another calendar so then I have to toggle back and forth between the two to see if it’s missing. If the activity center actually contained new items and updated items then I would know what I missed. (Sometimes the app will push a notification but once you open it, it’s gone.) please make a Notification Center. ### 3/5 — Worked great for about 6 months *2026-08-26, version 12.2.3* I found this app worked great for keeping things organized among a group of people. But after about 6 months it started closing every window I tried to open. I tried restarting my iPhone but it didn’t help. My email won’t work with the app so not sure how to get help. ### 3/5 — Why is app constantly crashing recently??? *2026-08-26, version 12.2.3* I love this app as it organizes everyone in my family in one calendar. However, within the last couple of weeks as soon as I open closes down, and I have to reopen it more than once… help!!!! can we please release an update to fix these bugs?? ### 3/5 — App keeps crashing after latest update. So annoying! *2026-08-25, version 12.2.3* We absolutely love FamilyWall. But after the last update about a week ago, it crashes after you click on anything— open a recipe, it crashes immediately…open your grocery list, it crashes immediately. It’s very frustrating and the app has become unusable. ### 3/5 — Great app but latest update has bugs *2026-08-24* Since the last update, the app glitches and just isn’t operating smoothly anymore. I’ll be in my shopping list and usually I can leave the shopping list open and just turn my phone off and back on and it stays on the shopping list, but now the app refreshes and glitches back to the screen where you choose between calendar and lists and everything else. We’ve got the full paid version too, it’s really frustrating how it’s working now. To others considering this app, it really is great. My husband, our 3 older kids and I are all in it and using it. The shared calendar is especially great to make sure we know what’s going on and when - hubby can see if there’s important things the kids have going on and won’t book a work meeting at that time, kids sport etc can be set in it for the term. Kids can put their school time table in too, so we know what’s days they’ve got different subjects. We’ve kind of started using the recipe box too - hubby more so. I still prefer my paper handwritten recipe book 😂 ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-08-23, version 12.2.3* We’ve used this app for lists and groceries for years with no issues. For the past ~2 weeks or so, the app crashes more than it works. The list app for groceries used to remain open for the entirety of my shopping trip. Now once my phone goes to sleep, the app returns to the main menu when I unlock it again. Then when I click on lists it crashes a few times back to the main menu before allowing me to resume viewing my list. It makes shopping and making the grocery list more difficult than it needs to be. This also applies to the calendar feature. It crashes back to the app’s main menu before being able to add or edit your events. The key features my family uses this app for are not functioning optimally at this time. There need to be fixes for these bugs immediately. ### 3/5 — Glitching recently!! *2026-08-20, version 12.2.3* Have used this app for years and absolutely love it for organising my day to day, but in the last couple of weeks it’s been super glitchy and I have no idea what has caused this! It reloads back to the home page constantly when I’m flicking between days and other apps, super annoying, PLEASE FIX THIS 🥲 ### 3/5 — app glitching lately *2026-08-20, version 12.2.3* The app keeps glitching after the update and before that struggles to upload pictures and videos ### 3/5 — Almost perfect….not quite *2026-08-18, version 12.2.3* This app has everything except a super basic feature that blew my mind once I subscribed to premium that it wasn’t there. The ability to create a simple note with text or whatever I wanna add into it is not there. For example, if I wanna create a note about my vehicle where I can log the things I do like change the oil and get new tires and stuff so everyone else in my family can see and add to it you can’t. Or if you simply want a running note of information, you can’t do it. You can add a document like a Word document but then it’s going to open that document in a separate app which kind of defeats the purpose. Guys fix this and you’ll have 5 stars from me! It’s also unbelievably frustrating that if I switched to a different screen or different app and come back it completely reloads the app and I lose everything i was working on. ### 3/5 — Great app but *2026-08-18, version 12.2.3* Love this app however it has problems force closing while I’m using it ### 4/5 — Liked the app, but it keeps closing randomly *2026-08-16, version 12.2.2* App is very good but the app keeps closing suddenly and randomly. ### 2/5 — Very unstable *2026-08-15, version 12.2.2* The last update has messed the app, keeps crashing when adding events or adjusting times, returns to the Home Screen randomly. ### 5/5 — Fit for purpose *2026-08-14, version 12.2.2* Absolutely fit for purpose. FamilyWall makes keeping in touch and planning events fast, easy, and stress-free. It’s saved our family tons of arguments and keeps everyone on the same page! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Correctly bought the year subscription.. loved it at first but now. *2026-08-26, version 12.2.3* Can’t use the app without crashing. It’s continuously taking me to the main menu and even kicking me off in general. Cleared out of the app and still having the problem. My app and my phone is up to date, so that’s obviously not the issue. Can’t believe I paid money to use an app that doesn’t even work! Scam. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-25, version 12.2.3* I loved this app for a couple years actually. For the last month or so, every time I open the app and try to access my family calendar or meal plan, it repeatedly bumps me back to the main menu. At first it was just once a day, then they did an app update and now it’s every time I try to use the app. I pay for the premium version too, and I’m about to cancel it because it’s plain annoying when I’m trying to quickly access my calendar when scheduling appointments. ### 1/5 — Latest update is bad *2026-08-23, version 12.2.3* This latest update makes the app refresh every time you open, even after just swiping to a different app for 2 seconds. Makes it unusable for pretty much everything. ### 1/5 — Was great… *2026-08-21, version 12.2.3* I’ve used this app to keep track of my family and our never ending appointments. It’s been a LIFE SAVER. until the latest update, it no longer lets you add anything to the calendar and immediately crashes the whole app repeatedly. Very sad because my whole life and schedule lives in this app 😭 ### 1/5 — Not worth the subscription *2026-08-18, version 12.2.3* Sometimes the mapping works most times not ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-08-13, version 12.2.2* They give you the most basic options to be able to use on here that I already have on my phone. They should let you use everything without charging you every month for it and have premium options for more things. Idk I just don’t see its worth that. ### 1/5 — UI is DGSHT *2026-07-27, version 12.2* I love spending 40 minutes of my day trying to figure out why I’m getting the “ we’re sorry , you can’t connect to server “ ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-07-24, version 12.2* You need a subscription to access everything ### 1/5 — What the heck? *2026-07-21, version 12.2* I’ve just downloaded this app and I can’t invite my family members to join. Everyone I try it just closes that screen mid typing. ### 1/5 — May 1, 1985 is my birthday. *2026-07-07, version 12.2* Your app auto move to April 1. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super helpful! *2026-08-31, version 2026.8.4* My family is suddenly on-the-go with new sports and creative endeavors that this app has really become a lifesaver in keeping everything organized! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-08-29, version 2026.8.4* Great way to keep track of appointments and grocery lists. Just make sure to refresh the list before you shop! ### 5/5 — Perfect digital command center! *2026-08-28, version 2026.8.4* I love that while I’m cooking or driving, I can tell my kids to add something to the calendar or the grocery list. They have their chores list, we generate packing lists for travel, we share photos, everything! Love it! ### 5/5 — ama *2026-08-27, version 2026.8.4* amazing! ### 5/5 — wish it worked on apple watch *2026-08-23, version 12.2.3* otherwise brilliant app ### 5/5 — Hard to get help *2026-08-21, version 12.2.3* Family Wall is great! We use it everyday and it’s really helpful. We only use the calendar and meal planner but it’s still great. Anyway, I’m having trouble getting help. The app says it needs to verify my email address but I didn’t get an email. I changed it to my daily email account and still nothing. The app keeps crashing and I want to report it. ### 5/5 — Our Family Organiser 🏡❤️ *2026-08-21* FamilyWall has been such a helpful app for keeping our busy family organised!

That would be really handy for building some automations around it.) I’m on annual plan now after using it for 3 months. It has awesome features like budget and sharing calendar which is the most useful thing for us. ### 5/5 — Co parents dream *2026-08-17, version 12.2.2* Super helpful to juggle childcare and co parenting ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-16, version 12.2.2* It keeps us sane and improves communication. I love the grocery and to do lists that everyone in the family can add to. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
