Love the concept, but it's also a crowded space. I'm always on the lookout for good ideas in the space, so keep it up!
A few thoughts:
# Comparison
How are you different from other competitors, such as Cozi, FamilyWall, etc?
# Organization
Family life is busy, but the screenshots show only a few things. What happens when there's multiple events every day, with overlapping timelines for different individuals? Are different people assigned to different colors in the todo or calendar functions?
# Screenshots
The website lists 6 major features of the app, but have only 4 screenshots. What do the other screens look like? I've never thought of creating a FAQ for my family, so what does that look like? Is it just shared notes? (also, isn't "where did I put my wallet" a weird thing to put on a FAQ?
# TOS
Um, no: `When you use our website or its associated services to post, upload, share, or otherwise transmit content covered by intellectual property rights, you grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide licence to use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly display, translate, or otherwise create derivative works of your content in a manner that is consistent with your privacy preferences and our Privacy Policy.`
The privacy doesn't seem to directly address the above point, so I assume that you permit yourself to publicly post my family pictures and WiFi password?
# Header menu
Pricing is listed twice: Once as a page, once as an anchor link. The anchor link breaks if you're on the pricing page.
Edit: formatting.
Wow, thank you for the excellent feedback and taking the time to go through Family Folder with such detail.
# Comparison - I'm currently working on comparisons page and explainer.
# Organization - Great point/question, there is a full calendar within Family Folder so I definitely need to emphasise this more.
# Screenshots - I will definitely add more screenshots. The FAQ is designed to help families remember things or have easy access to info such as WIFI codes. Also a family member can create specific folders for example a summer vacation folder which could contain several FAQs such as flight numbers, hotel details, etc (something I am currently using Family Folder for).
# TOS - agreed will amend this to be give the user total control, rights etc over what they upload. Thanks for pointing this one out. All data is your data.
# Header - will add it to the bug list :)
Again, really great feedback, thank you for taking the time.
Tony.
