Parents Get Organized With Windows Phone Samsung Focus (AT&T)

by 641 Comments

I love my Windows Phone, in fact, I had the opportunity to upgrade to a 4G phone but the phone wasn’t a Windows phone, it was a droid, so I gave it to my husband. I have the HTC Trophy and just love how I can pin the apps I love to use on my start page of my phone. I have my favorite Facebook friends and pinned, along with my twitter app, outlook, and calendar. It’s also so easy to move apps whenever I feel like life needs a reorg. HTC7_Trophy_lg

With kids going back to school and after school activities being juggled with work and the PTA, parents need all the help they can get. I know I do, I need everything on a list and that list needs to be on my device. Well, as they say there’s an app for that and Windows Phone is there for you with a line up of apps to save the day.

OneNote is the ultimate note taking tool on your phone that syncs to your PC. It lets you attach pictures and even voice notes, so you never miss a beat. Then, pin important notes to your Start Screen for easy on-the-go access.  Not only will you be organized with a calendar and email, but shopping is made easier too with these apps.

  1. I need a great calendar/scheduler. I not only have to keep track of appts, but I now take meds several times during the day (and they need to be spaced out) and I’ll forget to take them – I’d love to have a reminder system set up that would recalculate based on the last time I took my meds.

  143. I will have to agree with the use of Evernote. I use it at work, on my laptop, and on my smartphone. I like the syncing feature, this way if I start on a list or an idea on my desktop I can finish it later on my laptop.

  157. Mainly something to help keep what’s important from what is not. Something that’s user friendly, and can organize, and can prioritize, without having to pay ton’s of money for. Hey, if I have to sign up for some sponser ad or something, no problem, just as long as the app works as it should.

  211. I have recently learned that a couple of my teachers want to use smart phones, like the one pictures above and have apps that we use during class. If I was to win this phone I would use it just for that, so I won’t have to go out and purchase one of my own. I have heard they are expensive and being a college student I do not have alot of money.

  218. The CleverToDo app would be the one that I would need. I have two kids in two different schools with two different schedules so this would help keep me on track for both of them.

  421. I need a calendar app, with 3 kids who are involved in a variety of things I can’t always rely on my home wall calendar or my brain when I’m out and about. I am involved in the town soccer league and could use something to keep me on task for things I need to do for that as well, something with reminders.

  473. I could use an errand app to remind me of all the people I have to call where I need to go that day and other things that come up.

    Reply

  475. I need an app that has alarms, no limits on the numbers of reminders and is very, very intuitive. It should be a calendar, an alarm and a notetaker in one! Every feature on it should be customizable…don’t just give me 3 options or only a 5 minute snooze.

  477. I need an app that gets everyone where they need to go on time and in order. Oh, and one that’ll put on my makeup in the morning. 🙂
