Family planner apps help you keep track of all family members’ appointments. We present the best programs for smartphones and tablets in this article
Famanice – family calendar: an all-rounder for every family
Even if the name doesn’t suggest it: “Famanice – Family Calendar” is more than just a calendar app. The free tool for iOS and Android offers numerous features that families will love in everyday life.
- Features: With “Famanice” you can not only set up a family calendar with appointments for all family members, but also create shared shopping lists and to-do lists. To synchronize the data, each family member installs the app on their smartphone, tablet or PC and registers for free. Everyone then receives a notification as soon as a member makes a change. Especially nice: thanks to a private chat function, “Famanice” can even be used as a WhatsApp alternative.
- Operation: Even if the design of the family planner app is no longer the latest, the operation is impressive. The menus are clearly structured and the setup is self-explanatory
- Price: The app is free of charge.
PlenoFamily: Simple family planner without weaknesses
If you prefer something a little simpler, you should take a look at the “PlenoFamily” calendar app. The tool is free to download for Android and iOS.
- Functions: Use “PlenoFamily” to create simple family calendars and shared to-do lists. The individual tasks can be distributed among the family members and ticked off once they have been completed. The data is stored in the cloud so that everyone has access to the family calendar.
- Operation: “PlenoFamily” impresses with its simple, clear design and well thought-out menu navigation. Even children can manage it perfectly
- Price: The basic version of the app is free. For ad-free use, you pay just under 6 euros per year.
Cozi Family Organizer: The all-rounder
Modern, stylish, comprehensive – the “Cozy Family Organizer” does everything right in the test. The app is available free of charge for Android and iOS.
- Functions: In addition to standard features such as a family calendar and shared shopping and to-do lists, the “Cozy Family Organizer” offers a family diary that you can use to share photos with your family members. There is also a recipe box where you can save your favorite recipes and plan dinners together.
- Operation: Despite the wealth of functions, the family planner remains surprisingly clear. The only drawback: The free app is currently only available in English – a no-go if you want young children who don’t yet speak English to use the app.
- Price: The basic version is free. For an ad-free version with additional features, a subscription must be taken out for 31.99 euros per month.
FamilyWall: Family planner with additional features
The free “FamilyWall” is similarly well positioned. The app for Android and iOS impresses with its numerous functions and ease of use.
- Functions: In the “FamilyWall” family planner, the appointments of each family member have their own column. This provides a quick overview. If you only want to know the appointments of one member, you can display them separately. In addition to pure appointments, the app can also share shopping and to-do lists. There is also a chat function for quick communication
- Operation: Once the family planner has been set up, it is easy to use. Public holidays and school vacations are automatically taken over. However, synchronization with other calendars in the free version only works with the standard calendar app on your smartphone. Synchronization with Google or Outlook only works with the paid version.
- Price: The standard version is free, the premium version costs 4.99 euros per month.
