Why are there so many bad reviews?

So I was looking for something to pretty much store everything all in one because I am forgetful and my short term memory is shot. I have notes all over the place. My phone, calendar, computer, sticky notes it really just depends where I am and what resource I have available. Because if I don’t write it down right then and there I will forget. A disorganized mess. Well I did some research and found this app and I liked the description and it sounded like what I needed. But after I downloaded it I decided to go read reviews. Why are they all so bad? And they are complaining about little petty things. Like this app is free most of them cost a subscription. Anyways I’m going to leave this here and update later after I have used the app.

Going to give it a go but there are some flaws

I’ve been co-parenting for 8 years now and thought it might be beneficial as our kids get older to have a shared calendar. I saw this and thought I’d give it a go. After an hour of jacking around with it, my initial impressions aren’t great. 1) I wanted to play with it before inviting my ex to use it and that’s literally the second step when opening the app. 2) The date and time wheels frustrate me. Almost every time I would scroll the wheel to get the right time, it would pop back to where I started. I had to just gently flick it and hope it stopped somewhere near the number I wanted and keep doing it ever softer until it landed on the minute or date I wanted. 3) I wanted to put my ex’s parenting time on the same schedule as mine and I don’t seem to be able to do that. 4) I want to just copy over events from my calendar to the shared calendar and that isn’t possible. I have to retype each one. 5) I’d love it if they had an option to add access to the kids. My sons have phones and I’d like them to be able to put their events on the calendar so that we could just see it. Considering just doing a family calendar app but I don’t want my ex seeing all my personal stuff like a grocery list. Maybe we just keep going without a shared calendar like we have been for 8 years.

Ghost notifications

I had the app prior to the last major update a while back. I still have a badge for 15 notifications but there isn’t anything to review. Also, I needed to go back and get the photos of the documents my ex sent as part of the 50/50 reimbursement submission. There is no modern/current folder of these documents in the app, so when you make the reimbursement payment you cannot review the documents/photos in the history of payments made screen, you have to go to them in the calendar app by scrolling backwards. The problem is you scroll back far enough and only the tiny photo icons will load but not the the actual photos after you click the icon. Scroll back even farther and the photos AND icons don’t load. I thought the pint of this app was to maintain historical data, this was only going back a few years, what happens when we get to the end of child support and there are disputes over payments for all these years? I can’t tell a judge the app deleted all the photos.

Wanting to love its calendar

I probably lost more time trying the app to understand my timeshare day schedule than I’d have spent marking manually on a sheet of paper until 2080.It is unintuitive, really convoluted with inconsistent options. You cannot mark days manually (Custom only let’s you mark a simple range). Even basic things didn’t work out. But even very simple things are full of bugs in the calendar. For example, you need to setup each holiday by hand. But by the 3rd Holiday entry, the app replaces your 1st Holiday entry with that of the 3rd.It also sees “overlaps” where there are none with “Custom Scheduled”. Probably, a Fields Medal award must be awarded to any parent able to complete a schedule successfully-regardless of how many weeks they took to accomplish it. I think the app has a lot of potential, but since it’s literally impossible to setup the calendar, and it in now way helps you with that and it is chock full of bugs and unintuitive (odd and also awkward) choices, then I must rate with one star. But, I feel that the creators may feel it’s just me or that’s two harsh. I will give an additional start for the courage to try to include a calendar, even if it’s the most horrible example of buggy, over bloated, massively confusing and horribly thought out calendar scheduling for co-parents.The rest of the App seems fantastic. I haven’t tried because what drew me to the App was having a schedule shared with the coparent.

I like the looks but....

I like some things (that you can select certain kids for events, the way the calendar looks, options for viewing calendar), but the calendar is annoying. What’s the point of the calendar importing my iPhone calendar (where I already have the event I need entered) if I can’t just duplicate the existing event to share it or just plain share it? This app makes you create the event again in the app in order to share it even though the event you may want to share has been created on another calendar and has been imported to this app, and is sitting there staring at you while you’re in the app. Nope create the event here AGAIN just to share. And I might be able to deal with this, but when I want to enter events such as my kids camps or sports practices, I can’t duplicate an event on an additional day. You have to re-enter the information day by day. For example, I tried entering my daughter’s tennis camp. This event is the same thing, same time four days in a row, but I have to re-enter all the information for every single day. If this app would at least duplicate events on separate days I would use it.I ONLY need an easy calendar to share kids event & trips with my ex, & this is just too much for me to want to do.

Decent app

I do like that it is free, it helps when the other parent refuses to co parent and doesn’t want to pay. I do like how we can request reimbursements and the like. I like being able to add the children information down and also being able to check the children in when we go somewhere or if the other parent showed up check them in as well. Which is nice if they are also using the app to check in since it captures your coordinates.However one thing that bugs me which is why it is not a five star, is that it’s not logging correctly the last time the other parent was on. States one day as being last but shows the parent has viewed the message. Another thing is no area to just write notes and or add pictures, say a journal area. Add notes without reimbursement having to be added. It would be nice to jot down how a visit went, if the parent showed up for the birthday party after promising over and over. How a FaceTime visit went etc.

Major issues

My wife and I agreed to use this app even though our attorneys recommended a different one. So we changed our agreement to use it. Now it is changing the times in the parenting calendar my ex says she can’t properly merge the calendars, it just dumped all the stuff I spent over an hour inputting.There is no option for every other week schedule. This is horrible, it’s wasting my time. No support just an email ticket system, no phone number to call. I hope they fix it quickly.also I saw a response to one of the other reviews that was EXACTLY WHAT I AM SEEING, and the developer responded that it was just a competitor and they would report it. That is so petty... clearly reading the most recent reviews by date there are a lot of things to fix. It actually worked ok until I started sharing and now I can’t input things, things don’t show up and like I previously mentioned the times change. She reports she can’t merge the calendars and gets an error message when she accepts.

Really like this app!

I like all of the features of this app! Makes it easy to co parent and record things that can be used in court. I would like it if when u enter information for the child if u could copy it or share it to the other child profile instead of having to type each thing over and over again. Like have it say share caregivers to other children’s profile or share doctor information to other child’s profile. Also on the calendar it would be nice to be able to set things on a weekly repeat. Like if I add soccer to the calendar and practice is every Thursday I would like to just have an option to add it to the the calendar every Thursday instead of having to go to each Thursday and add it again. Loving this app besides those few issues!

May be changing parenting apps

Edited to add as of 3.3 update. This app does not work or share properly on iPhones. The schedule is a pain to figure out and when shared it does not send proper schedule. It constantly freezes on my phone STILL after telling support about it over and over and documents disappear or are not received on the other end. If this app isn’t fixed ASAP I will be switching to takingparents.Things that would be helpful for my husband and I:1. Improved Notes: notes, along with any other uploaded information such as immunization records, report cards, etc need to be time stamped and give plenty of typing space. 2. Check-ins would be very helpful for proof of pickup/drop off times with the option to take photos.3. Calling and video calling feature.4. Ability to bring in third party to previous conversations. 5. A messaging filter to help effective communication without assertive words. (A feature coparenter has) 6. A way for the coparent to “accept” something that’s shared with them so that the sender knows it was received. For example, uploaded medical documents. Things that need to be fixed for iPhone X:1. Parenting schedule sharing options. When my husband shares his parenting schedule with me, It shows the coparent scheduled time not our own.2. Freezes and force closes often when messing with calendar or main screen.3. Messaging sometimes does not go through.

No customer support- Update

After sending a second tech support email and writing this review I got a very prompt response and I am pleased with that. I like the calendars, file upload and custody schedule features. I do not like that any parent can choose which parent they are and create harassing events. Not everyone plays nice when they want to dissolve their holy matrimony. The quick and easy set up guide should include instructions on how to protect your user so that one parent cannot chose to enter information as the other parent.I have contacted their customer support twice and have not received any advice. My soon to be ex-husband was able to create an event with my user. He set a month long event that indicated that he knew where I was staying in the Appointments calendar with a harassing note that disappeared when I accepted the event. I thought that he was finally updating his parenting schedule. He hadn’t sent me an event yet and I thought that it was about time. He initially set up the AppClose and sent me a link to our personal app, and was not sent the account number. I am waiting AppClose. Where is your customer service?
