Hello everyone and welcome back to another video it is Francesco here and welcome to the Keep Productive YouTube channel if you're brand
New so today. We are taking a look at Picniic with two "i"s
Near the end which is a complicated way of spelling it, but this is a family assistant application
It's an organizer to help you and your family to get organized and coordinated
especially when you've got loads of manic things going on like you know your son might have a
Football practice and your daughter might have a ballet recital, and you know there's so much like I can't even comprehend it
It is something that's been on my list for a while and maybe because a lot of you guys have been
Recommending to check out it have been like okay
I me I'm just going to look at it because I've seen a lot of people in the community with families
even with their wives or husbands
using asana to organize
Their coordination and a lot of people are starting to move to likes of cozy and picnic to basically
Organize that element of their life
And of course family stuff is pretty manic so hopefully guys this will give you a nice overview now
It's something that you know in the future when I sort of build a family with my soon-to-be wife
hopefully this will be something that I move into and
When all of this romantic stuff is happening I can have that there
So I'm just signing in to picnic here now the the actual
Concept of picnic is that family assistant it tries to blend the event side of stuff so calendar events in activities
tasks those things to get done and
Data, so that you can have it all in one location which is quite a fisherman and as you can see here
I'm prompted by a family account now your family will exist in one account so you can see here
I've created myself
I don't have any other members, but you'll be able to see the concept you can modify the edit here
So you can add birthdays family role in this case
I'm going to call myself bandit, and you can add an email there, but I've got an account here
So I'm just going to go into picnic and as you can see here
it creates is almost to some extent dashboard for your family to look at
I am really impressed by the applications designed so far that something that
Was straightaway very very impressive now. There are some features in this our overview and that are locked
I'm currently using a free account so I will overview
What is actually locked and what isn't so you can see here the thing that isn't locked
You'll notice the lot ones have got locks on the corner is the calendar and this is something that a lot of people rave about
It really like how its laid out and as you can see here
It will give you a sort of preview almost like a widget
I'm gonna open the calendar here, and as you can see I've got this gorgeous design
I can go out week few months for you. This is quite a nice for you
If you and your family go week by week now you see the big red
Plus thing then you can click it and create either a reminder or an event now what happens once you crane event
Is you can modify all of the details and you can even assign it for more than two people, so let's say
This is my wife, and my son they go so they're the two members there
And you can add them in so for example. I want to put
Football actually now. I'm maybe
Poker night, I don't know
I'm not a dad. Yeah, so the I'm gonna go on Saturday
And you can see here that I maybe want it to start a bit later
So I'm going to modify the time and it's one hour
It's not gonna be one hour don't think poker night would last that long you can say you can select all night all day
Location you can actually add a location you can add alert a repeat and any notes there, but in this case
I'm just gonna save it and as you can see here for Francesco coconut and you can either delete or
Go back in and modify it there now if I wanted to give you that a month you 7:00 p.m.
Coconut pops up there and of course
That's quite a neat way in organizing your calendar, and you can obviously skip are in advance
And you can even skip back to today if you wish so it's quite an efficient process
If I wanted to add a reminder to that let's say I pick
And I pick up strawberries. I don't know why I pick up stories for today at 3 p.m.
Then that remind it pops up there and it almost acts as an event in some sort of fashion
no, I want to go back to the
the actual like calendar layout you can see that obviously it clearly says Monday and
That reminder will pop up for Francesco and of course when other people anthem
They will come up there and of course on the day of the poker night
That will pop up there now you can see here
This is the sort of secondary element of it is a to-do lists application
Now you can basically get started
Adding to dues just by pressing the plus button you can either add a list or a to-do now
I just want to show you lists before
Lists is basically an area where you can add it's gonna be like a template shopping list but in this case
It's got a list of like set up for example
I'm just gonna delete this one and add my own list so I'm just gonna have a list here
Maybe I dunno I really helpful about shopping list template. Oh
Actually, do I move it I could put a shopping list
listen I want to add my wife in there as well because we shop together and
Mark as important and then put a due date of
Thursday and click done so as you can see here the shopping list sart's there so we can add star items here
So it could be like if peas
Carrots
broccoli you
probably like why do I need to watch all of this you can use the timestamps below to
skip past all of the stuff if you do want to
Here we are the shopping list perfect. I've got all my items there
I actually haven't got it in this sort of view, but I can start adding to dues if I want to so here
We are I'm just going to add it to do for me. I need to fix the garden
door
And I'm just going to sign out to myself and she can give a due date of today yet to
3:15 p.m.
And you can see here another one pops up
And it's quite
timely in a sense and you can go over here and take things off so if I were to tick this off it would just
Show up like that and it's quite nice to some extent and you can see all of the
ones that are
Remaining left to do and you can just see all the items that have been
Completed which I guess gives you you and your family sense of completion to those
but let's just go out into this view you can see that the fix the garden door appears on my to-do list and
Tap on picnic setup list and I tick that off and as you can see on this widget preview
It goes away, which is quite nice
So it's quite a nice addition now on this top right hand corner
You've got family news and family news essentially is an activity log
So you can start seeing all that your family's doing on picnic. You know could be adding event or
Completing a task or even adding a new task and you can even add little messages here, so
You know I could put a family message
In let's go eat a pasty tonight
the local deli
Delicacy again, I can post it and that message appears here now
I can and definitely want to do a photo but in this case I want now we can go back here
And it will pop up in the top right hand corner which is quite nice, and I've also got special events
but again
This is locked so maybe this is a good time to talk about the family plan
Then go over some of the ones that are locked and talk about a few more the free experiences so the premium is
Called the family plan and it's picnic premium essentially and it locks all the features for the whole family, so
annually, it's
$49.99 again you can use a code in description below if you decide to upgrade even if you just want a free account or
You can pay monthly
14.99 or if you want like a lifetime two hundred and fifty dollars 99 if you're finding a really effective system so your family then
This might be for you now the free account basically
Consists of the newsfeed which I just showed you the family calendar
Which I've showed you already to-do lists a shopping list function as well
Search and save online recipes and planning group event which I think is a good amount of things
But the premium gives you access to a meal planner giving you an outline for you and your family
the information Locker which will provide you with the way
To store really write all I guess like medical information
finance information
You know maybe contact details just like useful stuff that will provide you and your family some
The family locator which is another one
Which is basically like find my friends if you don't already have that future this could work well for just keeping an eye on all
the family
Where they are which is quite important for maybe young ones who have phones?
Special events so you even get to like some anniversaries and calendars pop up and also
integrations with team snap sports, so you can see all of the
Upcoming activities which is quite nice now. I'm going to go over to this one here, so yes. I was mentioning
You've got the access to the shopping list and the recipes and you
Can also see other cans as well so you can subscribe to the likes of an Apple calendar Google, AOL Yahoo?
Exchange calendars and
Reverse as well
So if you're wishing to do that you can do so but apart from that everything else is locked
So you'll get all of those features down the side
But they will have a lock icon next to them now just to take a look at shopping lists
You can add a store list as well, which is quite nice, so you can add to enter
per store
Which is quite nice so for example if I wanted the local one here is Morrison's and you can start adding the items there
And you can even start over again
And it will give you new store lists each time
Now the final element is recipes and you can basically search recipes here, so if I wanted to go find recipe
Let's see if the past new ones available just out of curiosity it will basically pull them from online sources
Which is quite an efficient way of doing it? I guess
Saving you a bit of time. It doesn't look like capacity ones available as I'm gonna put
Maybe ice cream because I'm sure there's an ice cream recipe knocking about
And it looks like it is a rainbow ice cream pop
Recipe and that's from our site called serious heat
So you can actually read it online or actually save it to your picnic account so if I go back here
it is and you can actually love different recipes to give you an indication so that will give you all the ingredients and
Revert you to the directions, or you can write your own recipe with the ingredients directions
and any note
So if you and your family have a really important recipe that is very important to you guys
And then of course you can do that so just before we go
I'll overview some of the settings you can add more family members here
You can change your password in details here, and can change the family name as well, which is quite nice
And there's an upgrade button at the top make sure to use the link description, but you can also switch between family members, too
So you can view it as other people which is quite nice, so it's something that if you want to see okay?
You know what's my sister doing this week? What's my auntie doing this week?
I don't know how many people you can have that you can actually do that in one sort of view which is nice
Now guys um I hoped you enjoyed this feature
I'm guessing they're targeting their attention at at children or at parents with children under the ages of 18
I think this is a very effective resource especially if you and your family like just one have a
Colorful place to organize all of your items
And it's definitely something that I know a lot of people will enjoy so I hope that you find value in this one
