Do not rely on this app for storage. If something happens to your phone, you're screwed. I had to replace my phone last summer and when I downloaded the app on a new phone, logged in using my same email address, and the connection to the co-parent was not restored and ALL messages were GONE. Tech support will just tell you how to use the app and won't listen when you say you can't get your messages.

Horrible. Unreliable. Sometimes I don't get messages at all. Sometimes I can't send at all. Sometimes everything disappears. Truly makes a difficult situation worse when you have poor communication with a co-parent. My phone needs to be open to get notifications of a message, no matter what I do to the settings. The AppClose people think that because so many courts mandate they use them that their app doesn't stink. But it does. Edit: No, dudes. Your app just sucks. Deal with it. Or fix it.

When we see a review with abstractions and not actionable or useful commentary, we suspect a jealous competitor. There is a reason why we have a high rating based on thousands of reviews. We trust readers to differentiate unsubstantiated broadsides from legitimate feedback.

Truley too early to write meaningful review. Only used it for about a week without having the need to use and experience all features. However, at this point.... Nice app, but wish it would write to Google calendar. Also not a truly intuitive app. Design could use some adjustments. Also it does not alert you to any texting from the ex-spouse if the app is closed. Overall a 8 out of 10. Not writing into Google calendar is my greatest frustration considering I live off my calendar for business
