Here are answers to common questions about using Podz as your family and group organizer app. If you don’t see what you need, you can always reach us at info@podzorganizer.com.
About Podz & Why It’s Different
What is Podz?
Podz is a private family and group organizer app that gives your pod one shared place
for calendars, events, to-dos, trips, photos, meals, polls, recipes, and chats. Instead of juggling multiple apps
and group threads, Podz keeps everything organized inside private spaces called Pods.
What makes Podz different from other family organizer apps?
Many apps focus on just calendars or lists. Podz combines shared calendars, to-do lists,
reminders, trips, polls, chat, and photo sharing into one app designed for families and
groups. Each Pod is private and focused on helping your group stay in sync,
not on selling your data.
Who is Podz for?
Podz is great for busy families, sports teams, school groups, clubs, Greek organizations,
friend groups, and travel groups. Anywhere people need a shared calendar, shared to-do
lists, and a simple way to coordinate plans, Podz can help.
What is a Pod?
A Pod is a private shared space for your family or group. Each Pod has its own shared
calendar, events, to-dos, polls, chats, photos, and trip planning tools. You can belong
to more than one Pod, such as a family Pod, a team Pod, and a travel Pod.
How do I invite people to my Pod?
To invite someone, open your Pod, tap Members, and choose
Invite Member. You can send an invite by email, text message, or link.
Once they accept, they instantly see your shared calendar, events, to-dos, trips, and chats.
Can my kids use Podz?
Yes. Teens and older kids can join Pods to see schedules, assignments, team practices,
or chores. Parents control who is invited and what each Pod is used for. Podz does not
require children to create public profiles, keeping family data private and contained.
Features & How Podz Works
Does Podz have a shared family calendar?
Yes. Every Pod has a shared calendar that all members can see. You can add events,
set reminders, and view your schedule by day, week, month, or upcoming list so nobody
misses a game, practice, appointment, or meetup.
Can Podz sync with my existing calendars?
Yes. Podz can sync with calendars on your device (such as iPhone or Android calendars),
and you can import events from services like Google Calendar into your Pod. Open the
“More” tab, choose “Synchronize,” and follow the prompts.
Does Podz support shared to-do lists and reminders?
Yes. You can create shared to-do lists, shopping lists, and packing lists for your Pod.
Any member can add items, assign tasks, and mark them complete, and everyone sees updates
in real time with optional reminders.
Can Podz help with trip and travel planning?
Yes. Podz includes trip planning tools that let you organize flights, hotels, activities,
reservations, and notes in one place. You can share itineraries with your Pod, add photos,
and keep everyone on the same page while traveling.
Can I belong to more than one Pod?
Absolutely. You can create or join multiple Pods—for example, one for your family, one for
a team, and one for a club—and switch between them using the Pod selector at the top of the
app.
Can I use Podz with both iPhone and Android users?
Yes. Podz works on both iOS and Android, and groups can mix devices with no issues.
Everyone sees the same events, lists, notifications, and trip details regardless of
which phone they use.
Does Podz work offline or with limited service?
Yes. Podz stores your recent data on your device, so you can view calendars, trips,
and to-dos even without signal. Updates sync automatically as soon as you’re back online,
which is especially helpful for travel and areas with weak coverage.
Account, Notifications & Privacy
Why am I not receiving notifications?
If you are not receiving notifications from Podz:
- Allow notifications when Podz first prompts you after installation.
- Open your Pod profile and make sure “Silence Notifications” is turned off.
- Check your device’s notification settings and confirm Podz is allowed to send alerts, sounds, and banners.
Can I control what notifications I receive?
Yes. Podz gives you full control over notifications for events, reminders, to-dos,
chats, and mentions. You can enable or silence notifications per Pod or globally,
and each member can customize their own settings so they only get the alerts they want.
Can I delete my Podz account?
Yes. To delete your account, open the main menu, go to your member profile, scroll
down, and choose Delete Podz Account. Your personal data will be
removed from our systems. Events that others still rely on may remain, but without
your personal details attached.
Why does Podz ask for my location?
Podz uses your location to share your position with pod members (if you choose),
help you find event locations, and show local weather related to your plans.
Location is used temporarily for these features and is not stored as a detailed
location history.
Is my data secure in Podz?
We take data security seriously. Podz uses modern encryption and best practices for
data in transit and at rest. Pods are private by design, and we do not sell or share
your personal data with advertisers.
Will my data be shared with third parties?
No. Podz does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for advertising
purposes. We may use aggregated, non-identifying usage data to help improve the app,
but that information is not tied back to your identity.
Does Podz share or sell my data?
No. Podz is private by design. Your events, photos, chats, and location are visible
only to members of your Pods, and we do not sell your personal data. Any analytics
we use are aggregated and de-identified to help us improve the app without exposing
your personal information.
