been trying to login and keep getting an error that the server is unable to process the request. Checked my Internet, that is fine. Checked my app is current. That is fine. Reached out to my ex, she is getting same error and having same problems on her end. Tried your "contact us" link, that isn't working either. The lack of contact, the developer's dismissive "we know, but it's just a few people" is insulting and useless. Certainly not reassuring at all. I am seeking a replacement for this app.

for being court ordered and supposedly "popular" i expected alot more from the app. I have to manually share events on the calendar, it's not automatic despite sharing the entire calendar. it also doesn't notify well and requires payments for recording phone calls. I expected alot more especially since there are apps that can do the calendar and messaging far more secure and without the hassle of payments the developer reply was very "cut and paste" about customer support.

For a free app I guess it is hard to complain. However here is my take. Some of the functions are not very intuitive and hard to find. Also. I have been using the notes portion of the app like a journal. When I tried to print the extensive notes I had taken there was no option to download them. There is motion for expenses and other item all listed on the same level as the notes but you cant download notes. This is a no go for many that want to keep everything in one app so crosscheck is easy.

It's a great app and it's free. However my biggest complaint is that the calendar needs work. There's no way to color code different entries on a single calendar. From the looks of it..you have to create multiple calendars with each its own color (parenting time, events, appointments etc). I don't see how you can connect all of these to be on the SAME calendar. If there is a way, the app doesn't show you how to do it. Better tutorials needed!

It is what it is. The export messages feature is very helpful. Video chat is horrible. Most of the time it freezes after a few seconds and you can't hear or see anything. Additionally, the video is cropped so it shows less than say FaceTime or Google Duo. On top of that, there are black bars covering about 1/3 of the screen on the top and bottom. If you have smaller kids, also be prepared there are no filters for the video chat. Not a huge deal, but even more reason to use a different app.

It's Free - I'll stick with it. But it's not the most user friendly and doesn't have much in the way of instructions.. I would love to see a 'Search' features in the chat section. Also, there is nothing that shows whether or not you have shared something with a co-parent and confirms whether or not they've seen it/accepted it. I think this would be an invaluable feature. Additionally, the child profile sections could be a little more user-friendly. Once you have more than one 'note' in a section, you can't always scroll to the next or last note. UPDATE: so it appears that you can search but you have to act like you want to export the chats first. It was not user-friendly and there are no directions. The developer stated you can see confirmations if sent requests but tha is not what I was referring to. I believe that we should see confirmation of everything that is sent to and received by the co-parent so that we have a record of what notes, medical items, etc were shared and received so there is not question of what items were shared/received and when.
