Terrible app, customer service unhelpful. Tried to delete an old group and it keeps saying error. It bugs out and tells me I have messaged from the other parent when no message exists or has even been sent. I contacted customer service about deleting the old group and all they could say was it was being fixed. One month later and still not fixed. Thanks for the reply Devs but as you say court ordered not through choice so that doesn't really make any difference to my review.

Cons • Have to go onto app to see if NEX has messaged; notifications don't always work/no bubble. • Doesn't record audio and video calls; not helpful for those with abusive/compulsive liar ex partners. Especially as they'd not consent to being recorded usually, but if it's via the App they'd be accepting the call knowing it records. • Glitches with the "seen" emoji, however you can check but holding down the message/image, that way, gives you time stamp. Pros: • Seen, received, sent time stamp

My calendar wouldn't sync between devices. Establishing a parenting calendar was completely unintuitive and the system was inflexible. I only wanted this for a reliable shared calendar which would show a parenting schedule and the app made the process of creating this near impossible. The help function did not provide any assistance for how to actually make the calendar function work and the calendars visible.
