Ratings and reviews

This app went from free and easy to use to suddenly costing $10/month and if you dont pay you can't talk to or get updates on your kids, even if you do pay they'll pull more than once regardless of if you have the funds or not smh. The app often expected to be used in custody cases, adding to the stress instead of helping with it. Especially if it's your only or preferred form of contact with the other party(s). It needs to go back to free or the very least have the subscription optional!!!!!!!!

This looks like a very handy app but fails to deliver. It is full of calendar glitches, for example: every other weekend showed up as Sunday through Thursday for odd dates that did not correspond to the schedule that I input. I messed with the options for longer than I care to admit and was not able to get it to make a correct calendar. I didn't even get to the other options, though I had really hoped that the visitation swap option would work for us.

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.
