it was written into our court order that we have to communicate through this app when it was free. now they suddenly decide to start a very expensive monthly subscription. it's complete BS taking advantage of parents who have no choice. I've also had various issues with features of this app for years now. the calendar is useless, it's so tedious, just use a Google calendar. And the payment option on this app doesn't work, I requested help on this issue a long time ago and it was never resolved.

Changed to paid only, pretty disappointing. Update: Saying you are giving people free trials doesn't change that you were pretty much the last co-parenting app that was free, & that is no longer the case. Especially since I only recently started needing a co-parenting app for a difficult situation, and now I will have to pay money because of a situation out of my control. It's great you've been an app for 9 years, but that doesn't change that you are now going to paid only options.

For a free app I guess it is hard to complain. However here is my take. Some of the functions are not very intuitive and hard to find. Also. I have been using the notes portion of the app like a journal. When I tried to print the extensive notes I had taken there was no option to download them. There is motion for expenses and other item all listed on the same level as the notes but you cant download notes. This is a no go for many that want to keep everything in one app so crosscheck is easy.
