(CLOSED) GIVEAWAY: Get Your Daily Schedule InFocus

Tweet

Man, oh man!  I am a computer girl.  I use my outlook quite often, especially for blog things.  But, it just doesn’t do enough.  So, when I was given the opportunity to test Amy Knapp’s InFocus Digital Family Organizer, I wondered if this would finally be THE thing I was looking for!

Features:

1. Daily, Weekly, Monthly Calendar – you can set reminders for recurring appointments, events, birthdays, and more.
2. To Do List – again, you can make one-time tasks, or recurring daily, weekly, monthly tasks.  Great for your housekeeping list!
3. Bills – list your bills, their due date, how much is due, and how much you have paid!  Great way to budget!
4. Contact List – Pretty obvious.   Keep all of your contacts in one place.
5. Menus – Import or manually add your recipes and easily drag and drop your meals into the correct day.  You can even search online for recipes straight from your dashboard!
6. Grocery List – Easily make and print your shopping list straight from your menu!  You can even search for coupons straight from your dashboard!
7. Sticky Note – if you have something you need to remember that isn’t date oriented, shopping list, or to do task; then the sticky note is perfect!

Mom Says: I really like all the features and think it is a fabulous resource that everyone needs.  Shoot, before I sell you all on this, maybe I should see if they have an affiliate program. LOL!  Gotta be better than my 2 cents a month from google adsense.

CONS:

1. Slow – I don’t know if it is my computer or the current version, but the program is really slow when doing certain things.  When I open it, it takes forever to open all the way and when I add a recurring task, it takes a very long time to switch to the next window.  One time, it was so slow it even locked up my computer.
2. Setting it up – In order to have Amy Knapp’s Digital Family Organizer actually work for you, you are going to have to spend tons of time getting your information into it.
3. Yearly Subscription – You must purchase a yearly subscription to use the Organizer.  It isn’t expensive, but I would rather spend more on it once.  Just my personal opinion.

Mom Says: I know that Amy said they are working on an update to the program, maybe some of the above will be addressed in that version.

Mom Says: Girls, I really like this application.  I have been super busy, so have only been able to input enough to test it, but I have set up a recurring task to spend 15 minutes a day adding more to the program!
