Cozi Family Organiser has won the award for Best Family App in the Appy awards and for good reason.

The whole family shares one account but each individual can access it using their own email addresses. Another bonus is the cross platform support. https://www.windowsphone.com/en-za/store/app/cozi-family-organizer/5525ea18-cbfd-471d-a304-b

For the moms who always have their hands full, the Dictate Now! app is a life saver. We all know that typing takes up more time, so why not just speak to your phone? If you are on any app, just hold down the Windows button (WP8) or Search button (WP8.1) and say “dictate now to clipboard”. The Dictate Now! app will then listen to what you say next and copy it to the clipboard, which you can then paste into whatever app you are in. Or, you can run the app on its own. https://www.windowsphone.com/en-za/store/app/dictate-now/4c32a003-f757-4944-9fb5-9c05e23106b
