A happy product for busy families

Pros: Cozi's UI is bright and clean, overall "happy looking". The product itself is easy to use. We especially like the Send to Phone feature; it's ideal for families on the run. It may take us a while to get into the routine of using an electronic shopping list, but Cozi gives us good incentive: When I just happen to be at the store (sans paper list, of course), I can call Cozi and get the shopping list sent to my cell as a text message. That's a beautiful thing. Another great feature: The photo collage screensaver. If you're a family that has loads of digital photos stored on your PC, the screensaver will soon have you all clustered in front of the monitor looking at photos you didn't even know you had. Nothing like returning from walking the dog in a cold Northwest rain and being greeted by long-forgotten photos of your family trip to Hawaii! Finally, the calendar features are pretty cool - slightly different than what we're used to, but easily integrated into our lives. Again, easy to use - we added our grandmother to the family account, and she actually checks the kids' schedules from her senior living complex!

Cons: Calendar is not integrated with Outlook (although the support personnel tell me it's planned for future versions)
