Pain to use and clunky
If you are going through a messy divorce use the app. But if really interested in proper co-patenting and have a parent that is halfway normal just use an Outlook calendar and common sense. Everything takes longer to setup than you should. It lacks reminders, and ultimately is more of a hassle than it is worth. Calendar which should be the focus of development is so far behind I suspect they can’t catch up at this point. If somebody was to come up with a similar app that integrated calendars with Google or M365 they’d lose all their clients. The only new features released in my two years with the app was a payments platform that you have to pay for monthly. So do I’ll yourself a favor and never start using this bad platform.
Ridiculous
Once your subscription expires they don’t allow you to look at past conversations
Calendar
Pls figure away for the calendar to sync to google calendar or any other calendar app. The calendar portion is really difficult.
Primitive, lacks intuitive organization
I have 2 rather large and justifiable user experience concerns. . 1. The user interface is a 3/10. The font is small and lacks contrast. The app willl not display in “dark mode.” The overall accessibility of buttons, menus, submenus etc is not intuitively organized. 2 The Message feature is extremely frustrating. The organization of messages is almost like email but the threads don’t stay together. The app should be organized like a chat - like SMS apps, any messenger app, even regular email…really ANYTHING that can be more easily organized and reviewable like an actual thread. The search feature is almost good enough to quickly locate relevant content from previous conversations. But the search terms must be EXACT to return necessary content. As a bonus feedback: why have a monthly time limit on calls? Native messaging apps don’t do that. Even Facebook or instagram or other apps have no time restriction since these are internet driven feature. And the video is grainy, choppy, and the audio is insensitive to the pitch of a child’s voice. I am forced to use this app and it is a point of extreme frustration. And the other “coparent” refuses to communicate using any other form of technology. The app is a really a good idea. It is very primitive, lacks intuitive organization, requires a ainstantiak iohrade to the display (text, colors, headings/sibheadings, etc.)
Thumbs DOWN
This app is sorely missing some critical features - it serves to limit call time without any reason such as finite recording space…as there is no recording calls function. There is no way to pay/compensate an expense without approving the expense- this makes later legal battles difficult when a parent is ordered to pay for expenses but it’s being abused by the other parent. The consent-driven calls feature hinders communication rather than facilitate it. Which operates on the assumption that no emergencies ever occur. Which is silly at best. The notifications do not work for the app - there are no badges, so you have to get text message notifications involved…so you may as well just do texts instead of using the app. There is no convenient, searchable format for attorneys or judges or court personnel. There is no way to document events in the past by way of the calendar - so if a parent who was excluded from a doctor’s visit wishes to add it to the calendar to easier reference in the future, there is no opportunity. I have SEVERAL more complaints but in short, this app is clearly designed for people who don’t need it, designed with people already positively communicating and not for those struggling. I would avoid this app at all costs and if I were not ordered by the court to keep using it, I wouldn’t.
1 star
I was eager to purchase this app because family mediation and my attorney recommended it. It has many benefits and they are all mostly helpful. The only major shortfall is the messages section. When we first got it I was happy to see it rates them on a progressive scale from civil to aggressive, which is cool and all, visually, but has done nothing to actually help regulate the trash talking that is able to be sent. If something’s going to be rated as aggressive it shouldn’t be able to be sent. i’m still being harassed on a daily basis when I was hoping that this app would put an end to it. Or at least slow it down. Makes it hard to pay for something that is no different than my normal email.
Drafts do not save attachments
Imagine spending several hours composing a message with attachments from multiple sources and saving it as a draft to be sent the next day. On the next day, you discover that all attachments were deleted from the draft. According to technical support, this is by design. For a company that charges $216 annually for their app, one would expect their message capability to mimic that of all email applications (saving attachments with draft messages).
We've been hard at work improving the app to help it run smoothly. We made some tweaks and fixed some bugs. We laid the groundwork for more improvements, too—so keep an eye out for future updates. We're always working to make the app more effective and easier to use.
