Cozi can even send emails confirming appointments to any family member's inbox, or text them directly. Also keep track of memories and photos in the Cozi family journal.

2. Grocery IQ (Free): Awesome shopping app Grocery IQ lets you set up lists for multiple stores, organize your shopping by aisle, and print lists and coupons via WiFi.

Remember the Milk also lets you share tasks and lists with any contact (i.e. your hubby) and create Smart Lists that automatically update depending on how you tag your tasks (priority level, due date, category, and so on).
