    They can do all of this but we still can’t control the volume of just one app like our music app and game app separately

    android already did some of these

  23. Jeremy DeBose

    I like and use much of this. None of the FaceTime stuff though. Only thing I don’t like is Notification Summary showing up all day instead of popping up. Telling me “we’re gonna notify you of this later!” all day long defeats the purpose of not appearing on notifications. ????

Running a busy household is basically project management, but can a digital calendar actually fix the chaos? Before you invest hundreds in a digital family calendar, there are a few tech realities you need to know.

Then there’s the elephant in the room: hidden subscription paywalls. Let us know in the comments if your household would actually use one of these!
