RobinF Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 not for the kiddos. Dh just bought me an iPad for Mother's Day and I am looking for apps. These are not for the kids as I have a "can't touch this" policy. :D What are you favorite apps? I love organization/planners. I am looking for some type of planner. I want a tool to help keep up with my memory work. What are your favorites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Cozi calendar. We have it on all iPhones too. Anything any of us (me, dh, teens) add to the calendar from our phones or ipad or computer automatically updates all our cozi apps. So we always have our calendars in sync. Awesome! I tank you have to set it up via the website first, but after that you can do it all via iPad/iPhone.

RobinF Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I am going to check that one out, thanks! We are in the process of switching over to an all mac house so iPhones are on the way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skueppers Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I use Anki for memory work. The app is expensive, but I love it. Plus, it works on all our iDevices, so buying it once lets us all use it. What's special about Anki is that it determines automatically how often you need to review each item. I would suggest trying it on a computer (free) to see if the concept works for you.

RobinF Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 I am still looking for a universal organizer. I use evernote on my iPhone, may go with that, but also want to check out bento and will look at the one just mentioned - cozi family. Have fun! Can you tell me how you use Evernote? I have it loaded but I am having a hard time deciding between it and Cozi. I want a universal planner. I have Opus Domini on my mac and I like the format of it (much like a Franklin covey planner) but it has some glitches and isn't available for iPad yet. I am going to check out bento and see how it works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinF Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Does anyone have a favorite budget app and grocery list app? I downloaded pepperplate and like that I can put all my recipes in it but I am having a hard time adding individual items to the grocery list.

Murphy101 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Cozi has list options. I know there is a grocery option. I haven't checked for a budget one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinF Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Cozi has list options. I know there is a grocery option. I haven't checked for a budget one. I need to explore it a little more. I have added fly lady lists already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlisonK Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I really like Grocery IQ for grocery lists. I shop at multiple stores and it let's you make a seperate list for every store. You can make an ongoing list of all the things you buy in a store and then add them to a current grocery list which is just the current items you need at that store. Do I make any sense? :tongue_smilie: You can also email shopping lists to yourself or even better someone else. :D It does also link to current online coupons at coupons.com if you want to use that sort of thing. I looked at a lot of lists and this one fit all of my needs. I also like Todo for a To Do list. I can have individual lists for home, homeschool, church etc. You can see each list by itself or combine them all. I am going to subscribe to this list. You have given me more good ideas!

Murmer Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I LOVE Cozi...and I added to all our andriod phones too. I also love HomeRoutines it helps organize my days and gives me a cleaning checklist MenuPlanner is what I use to menu plan and create my grocery list. It lets me plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks a day. It also stores all my recipes and creates the grocery list from my plan.

skueppers Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'm also looking at these for school -Time timer You might take a look at VisualTimer -- it's much less expensive, and works fine on the iPad, even though it's not full screen. We use VisualTimer constantly here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinF Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Is there a program besides Pepperplate that allows you to put in recipes, make a menu plan/plan meals and make a grocery list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murmer Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 MenuPlanner!!!! I have downloaded, paid for a number of apps that do menu planning and this is by far the most helpful I have found. It doesn't look like much but it can do a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peela Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The only 2 apps I use regularly are Kindle for reading books, which seems to be what I mostly use my ipad for, and iperiod. I love iperiod for noting my cycles in as much detail as I like, from moods to physical symptoms, and also it sends me email notices (if I want) to tell me when my period is coming based on averages of my previous cycles. All other apps I downloaded seem a bit like gimmicks to me now. But maybe its just because I don't need them. Since I am home most of the time, and I have an imac so I really dont use my ipad as much as I thought I would (when I was still homeschooling....). But I am keeping it for travelling, and for buying and reading ebooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
