Love the app. Lots of glitches. This past week I keep getting no internet errors when I try to do anything on it despite me having internet. I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it won't even let me log in because I'm getting a no internet error. Sometimes it won't let me add events to the calendar and just gives me a loading symbol.

Been using it for months and all of the sudden it started saying "no internet connection" which I knew was not correct. I uninstalled and attempted to reinstall but now when I get to the add phone number to receive a verification link I also get the "no internet connection". Now I've lost months of communication between my ex and I that would've been helpful in my up coming court. I would not recommend this app, it was a total waste of time.

I've updated the app, however I am still unable to do video calls over normal service that I have to use my wifi to have a stronger connection. We should have the ability to screen record our video calls. In case something occurs during video call and courts and lawyers would be able to have access to video calls. The app needs more work and figure out the kinks.
