If your family has a busy lifestyle and there is never enough time for the mundane things like paying bills and keeping track of household documents, then you need HomeWise.

Using the family computer to organise mundane things could leave everyone so much more time to enjoy the exciting stuff.

HomeWise contains over 150 functions allowing users to store information on just about everything, from expense reports to organising parties. It even has sections for gardening and a handy tool for creating washing-up rotas.

After a nifty installation which took literally minutes, the software delivered a range of options through its Control Centre - the hub of the application - and offers access to all the programme's functions.

It has a well-designed phonebook, a useful calendar with plenty of room to make notes and even places for recipes, shopping lists and the number of the local take-away food shop.

HomeWise lacks attractive graphic design features and is a touch more functional than fancy but it does exactly what it says on the box. If you need to organise your life, then this software will do an excellent job and it is a real bargain.
