With two little kids, things get messy fast, and we were constantly juggling pickups, routines, and random school admin from memory. This pulls everything into one place so we’re not tripping over each other or guessing who’s handling what. The reminders are actually helpful, the quick behaviour notes make it easier to spot patterns, and the check-ins keep both parents aligned instead of running on different scripts. It doesn’t solve parenting, but it cuts a ton of noise and makes the week feel more under control. **Developer response:** Thank you so so much for the kind words - glad we're being of good use. Please reach out if you have any feedback for us! ### 5/5 — PAM for the win *2025-11-19* Being a parent is hard. Remembering everything that needs to be done is hard. PAM makes that easier and helps keep us organized **Developer response:** Do you know what's hard? Trying to eat your breakfast without being interrupted 18 times about Pokemon cards. Not sure if we'll be able to solve that, but so happy we've been making things less hard for you. Thank you for the note! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2025-11-19* So looking forward to sharing this with my family- will make coordinating a lot easier. I actually like the calendar layout better than my actual Gcal! **Developer response:** Yus, beating Google Calendar, now that's an achievement! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2025-11-12, version 1.0.0* Love Pam so much, it’s so easy to use, especially emailing screenshots of any upcoming appointments or forwarding the school newsletter and not having to manually type in all the relevant info in my calendar. I especially love the ‘chat with Pam’ where I can dump any info I’m remembering for dates, appointments etc and Pam organises it and even puts on reminders for me to buy a present for an upcoming birthday party! Great idea, thanks ### 5/5 — What did I do before PAM? *2025-09-18, version 0.3.6* This app has been such a game changer in life admin! My husband and I can now can just forward all our (endless) school emails to PAM and suddenly, all the action tasks are neatly sorted into our calendar with due dates, events booked in. It’s magic. Actually feeling on top of things :) can’t recommend it enough x ### 5/5 — I’m in love *2025-09-05, version 0.3.6* Absolute game changer. I’ll never forget to put anything on my calendar now because it’s so easy. I love I can just send things straight to it without having to manually input data and the reminders it sets prior to events so you can be organised is epic. I can’t wait to share it with my family so they never have to ask me a million questions again! ### 5/5 — Game changer!!! *2025-09-02, version 0.3.6* Our family has now been using Pam for a month and it’s been a game changer! No more calendars on the wall and on the fridge and admin time at night to keep everything updated. Everything is now easy as! I’ve also shared with friends and family who are equally as excited! Would totally recommend! ### 5/5 — Just what I need *2025-08-31, version 0.3.6* Really liking this ap so far. It is intuitive and the support from admin is great. This is going to be a game changer for me . ### 5/5 — Very impressive! *2025-08-29, version 0.3.4* Kia ora! Amazing app, somehow you’ve managed to make it feel ‘personal’ at the same time as efficient. Look forward to seeing this grow and develop. Will you integrate it with Apple Calendar/other apps (so that events Pam makes show up there?) Widgets would be great too. Great job! ### 5/5 — Helping with the mental load *2025-07-01, version 0.2.0* Downloaded this after seeing it mentioned in a local fb group and it is really helping me track the schedules of everyone in my household- from my sons’ music lessons and sports, to school events and work trips. The devs are adding new features all the time and are very responsive to their community. Highly recommend giving it a try!! ### 5/5 — JB *2025-06-30, version 0.2.0* I lost my wife recently who used to manage everything in our household. With three young kids and a full time job, this app has literally saved us. I would never normally take the time to review an app, but even in its first iteration, this is a game changer - thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Brain dump is amazing *2025-05-24, version 0.1.7* I love brain dump ### 5/5 — So helpful *2025-04-10, version 0.1.2* We find it much more helpful than joint calendar to keep organised! ### 5/5 — Lifesaver! *2025-04-10, version 0.1.2* PAM has seriously simplified our family life. I love how easy it is to keep track of everything without the overwhelm. Total lifesaver ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App lost my account info *2025-09-21* The app forgot my account with version 0.4.0 update, so is not just asking me to login again, but wants me to sign up and set my account up all over again. May just try Google calendar schedule view instead. **Developer response:** Hey there - please reach out to us at hello@mypam.co so we can troubleshoot what might be happening. Your account will be safe and sound! ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2025-09-07, version 0.3.6* The AI is good but super slow and often times out ### 1/5 — Can’t open an account *2025-09-04, version 0.3.6* Attempted to open an account and received multiple emails at the same time with verification codes (all different.) Hurriedly tried to enter the latest code to no avail. I took too long apparently. Gave up in frustration. Thought this app was to make my life easier, not have me tear my hair out. ### 1/5 — Another Sexist App? *2024-12-14, version 0.0.3 (24)* Really? An app that is a personal admin assistant named after a woman? It’s 2024, I would have tried this app out for the cool logo, but I’m not supporting an app that reinforces sexist stereotypes. ### 2/5 — Errors a lot *2025-11-07, version 1.0.0* Initially, I thought this would be great! And it started off well. I put in all of my tasks, set up a bunch of recurrences… but I have asked the app to go a bit further and it keeps erroring. Incredibly frustrating and not quite ready yet. ### 3/5 — Room for improvement *2025-05-14, version 0.1.6* Great idea, but frustratingly slow at loading, hopefully it gets better with better development. ### 4/5 — Works great *2026-03-02, version 1.0.7* I’m enjoying the app. I do have an issue though. When the app is a widget, and I’ve set my app thumbnails to “clear” or “tinted” the widget information becomes blank. A fix for that would be great and I imagine is already underway ### 5/5 — Life changer *2026-08-06* PAM has been an absolutely life-changing experience for me and for my family. We can track so much, and the team is super responsive to minor issues and update requests! **Developer response:** Hey team here, we love responding, that's fo'sho! Happy that PAM has been so useful to you, please let us know if you have any feedback at hello@mypam.co, and thanks for the kind words. ### 5/5 — G A M E C H A N G E R *2026-02-17, version 1.0.7* Snapped the back to school calendar updates. Not only does it place all dates correctly in a split second, it sets the practical reminders of ‘pack snacks for school walk trip’ the night before and ‘don’t forget to put sunscreen on **** (sons name) for his trip today, the morning of. 10 out 5!!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2026-02-17, version 1.0.7* Love this app. So pleased to have found it! Intuitive. I couldn’t manage school kids without it now. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-02-17, version 1.0.7* My fave aspect is being able to fwd emails and PAM just deals with the details and tells me what I need to do! All in one place! ### 5/5 — Must have app for busy parents *2026-02-17, version 1.0.7* I literally don’t know what I did before PAM. ### 5/5 — Freedom! *2026-01-15, version 1.0.4* This app has taken off so much mental load! Being able to just fwd emails/screenshots etc to Pam and she organises it all into clear order and adds any pre-tasks is just life changing! I assume it’s like having your own EA, that never goes on leave! I love Pam!! ### 5/5 — Great, practical app *2025-12-21, version 1.0.4* I really love this app - it’s easy to use and it keeps my family and I coordinated across multiple diairies. It has lightened my mental load significantly. Love it, love it! ### 5/5 — Life changing *2025-12-16, version 1.0.3* Does what it says - it’s smart, intuitive and great at mining emails, photos and messages. Game changing. Best organising app I’ve come across. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-12-14, version 1.0.2* I’m so glad I found PAM! It’s so rewarding checking things off my list. And the notes are great too. I’m having a little trouble with duplicate Apple calendar reminders but that’s because of how I’ve done my calendar in my phone so I need to do some readjusting, but it’s brilliant to just forward an email to PAM and know that it’s freed up some brain space. Awesome app. Love that the voice recognition understands the Kiwi accent too! Makes life easier for sure. ### 5/5 — Bringing some peace to my life *2025-11-24* With a busy house, having a central place to track everything has been a huge help! Would highly recommend if things are falling between the cracks. **Developer response:** Yes, that's the spirit - thanks so much for getting *exactly* what we're about.
