Need help finding an app for my iPhone

[02bBarbie]

Hubby and I are looking for a calendar app where we can sync our calendars. That is, if I add something to my calendar, it will end up on his. Kind of like the Grocery IQ app (if you're familiar with that)

Thanks in advance!

I just got Cozi. It is free. I think it does that, but I'm not positive, I haven't played with it at all yet. Flylady reccomends Cozi (I don't know if she has some $ interest in it or not, but there are always testimonials about how great it is)

Thanks - I watched their video but I'm not sure if the app will sync both our phones. Must do more research

Do you actually need an "app" for that? I don't have an IPhone but on my Droid, I sync with my Gmail and my home account, automatically updating both my phone and my computer. I did have to change my setting on my computer email to "leave on server" but other then that, I just had to install the email account on my phone.

You don't really need an app, you just need to use Google Calendar and the calendar on the iPhone. I set it up on our home computer and when we add something from our phones or the computer, it syncs. It works great for us.

As an aside, I tried Cozi and while it had some good points, using what we already had easily available(the calendar on the iPhone) ultimately works better for us.

But I want something that doesn't need us to sync with our computer. He's on the road a lot and doesn't bring his home laptop with him. An I'm rarely on my laptop.

I use my yahoo calendar that comes with yahoo email. When I update it on one device (Yahoo calendar, imac, or iphone) it updates it on the others.

eta: No syncing required

Dh and I tried this before and didn't really find anything that worked well for both of us. Now we both have our work emails on our phones and just put everything in outlook. It automatically updates to the phone without having to sync it. He has a Blackberry, and I have the iPhone.

You can sync mutliple devices through a single mobile me account - I have tried it with my ipad and iphone. Put something on the calendar on my ipad and it magically shows up on my phone. There is a fee though once the free trial is over though (I'm still in free trial period).

My wife, our two daughters, and I all have Cozi on our phones and our computers. When ever someone puts a calender entry on any device it shows up on everyone else's device within minutes. We are all on Android phones except for my wife who has a Blackberry and our computers are Windows based.

Not only does it do the calender it also does the same for shoppings lists and a "to do" list.

You can also set it up to sync with a web based calender or Outlook.

It works great for us.

BTW, Cozi is free.

Just because it syncs with your computer doesn't mean you have to USE the computer. You can input information on the phone and it will sync everything. If I am the orthodontist, for example, I pull up the calender on my phone, put in the next appointment and it will update my gmail, outlook and phone calender just by putting in the info there. If your DH's phone also has those same accounts it will also update those. It is really easy to do.

We use Cozi here too...I like that on Sunday everyone gets the family schedule sent to them with what is happening the following week.
