Coparenting children after divorce should not require an app as parents we should be able to communicate for the best interest of our children

Many things get lost in translation in an app or text and a parent who cannot communicate with the other coparent has a problem that’s why we’re not married anymore the inability communicate for the best interest of your children so this app is nice, but it does not provide the best interest for the children. It gives parents who can’t communicate the opportunity to manipulate.

I’m already using another app for each of the functions this platform provides; messaging, payments, calendar, etc. only this app does each of those things less effectively, and comes with the bonus of being court mandated. I wouldn’t voluntarily use this app even if it were free.
So if the cost goes up, which I’m sure it will, it won’t matter how sub-par or redundant OFW is, we will still scratch our heads, pay for the app, and add an additional layer of steps into an already infuriating process.

This app was the weapon my ex needed to destroy my entire life and bill me for thousands and thousands of dollars. She used it to cut off communication and it only gave me not even two minutes to talk to my daughter.. No Judge ordered this. It was just her choice.

Using this app has facilitated communication between me and my ex as we attempt to navigate separation, divorce, and child custody/care issues. I have peace of mind that the documentation within the app could be used as evidence in court, if needed.

I appreciate how the app transparently allows parties to see when each message has been viewed. I chose to get a package where I prepaid for an entire year and could utilize unlimited call and video call time (in ~40 min increments). This gives me peace of mind too, since I don’t have to worry about budgeting how much interaction time I share between my three kids.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to use the video call feature yet, so I cannot comment on its functionality. I have only used the phone call option 1-2 times, so I don’t have much to say there either. Primarily, I’ve used the email-like messaging feature. I find it helpful to have app notifications activated (in phone settings) because it’s important to me to stay informed about my children (and time-sensitive legal matters).

I gave 4 stars because there are aspects of the email messaging that are not as user-friendly/intuitive as I’d like them to be. It is sometimes difficult for me to search for sent vs received messages and see how correspondence flows within a chain. I feel I have to spend too much time searching and reading through multiple files to identify the specific conversations/messages I am looking to reference. This makes me worried that I might overlook an important detail. I suspect a simple redesign would help tighten-up this app for more efficient and inclusive use.

Overall, it’s been a worthwhile investment.

After 3 plus years of being breadcrumbed and feeling like there was zero accountability or consequences for my co-parent, there is finally some checks and balances.

There’s a pretty significant functional issue with this app. Since people can respond to different times, it does not keep all responses in the same thread, and you can break out multiple threads from the same original conversation to many dozens of times over. Feels very clunky, and very frustrating quite often. I guess for the basic basics it does the job.

For the high price of this app, you would think that they would offer more features and benefits. They’ve chosen not to make it any better at any time because they have a product which users are forced to use and pay for. There’s no need for them to spend any money on improvement or customer service. The worst part about it is the text. It is a medium gray color and tiny font which is difficult to see, even though I have excellent vision. There is no way to change the font, color or the size of the text like you can do in every single other messaging app. Due to this there are always mistakes noticed after a message is sent and they’re very difficult to see. A wait time feature would be very nice so that you could edit your message before it is formally sent. On my caseC my high conflict ex focuses in on my errors and uses them to create a false interpretion of the message or to insult me. Currently, there is no way to edit your messages besides responding to the bad message which then causes the other person to get extra messages that should not have to be sent. And when a high conflict person receives one extra message (no matter that they have sent 20 messages in the past hour) they ignore the original intent and instead start a conversation about harassing with multiple messages. I hate this app.

This app will screw up notifications! It doesn’t even discriminate between mom and dad. It sucks!

This app is not all that great, right now I tried to open it, and all I see is a white screen no load or nothing, I can not see my messages, and I can’t not call my child, and speaking about my child they want you to pay to call your child, and you also have to pay for minutes that gets renewed every month, and if not you have to pay for unlimited, this app is all about money, they don’t give a damn about you or your child, because if they did they wouldn’t be doing that to people, they would have the lowest rate for unlimited, and not have you pay for minutes, my child is 11 years old, and I am timed on talking to my daughter, and I only get 45 minutes a month, and when you have an ex like I do that doesn’t want to use up her minutes, and lies about everything it is hard to be able to chat with my child.

Apr 2026 - The app extorts money from divorced parents since it charges really high cost for cloud costs per year, the app doesn’t support dark mode and forces user to watch white app always even when in night or during an office meeting in the auditorium. App has a very slow login process. Needs improvement since when we move a file to a folder then the email still stays open and we have to close it by going back and opening another email. Annoying !

It just wouldn’t update the calendar updates. It became frustrating. Also doesn’t sync with a regular calendar

I didn’t want my ex to know my new e-mail address, and this stupid app I’m forced to use gave it to him. I feel like this app has made me more vulnerable than I already was. Also, a lot of viruses have attached themselves to this app and I don’t know how to get them to stop tracking me. Thumbs all the way down, if I could put less than one star I would. And the name ‘wizard’ is against God’s laws so I feel like a heretic using this app.

Just an awful piece of junk. Constantly freezes and crashes. I have to pay for this and this is what I have to deal with? Either you’re using AI to write your code and should stop or you’re not using AI and you should start.

As a third party user, this app is beneficial in seeing the important details around schedules and planning.

My main one issue is that there is literally NO notification option for third parties. So I do not get notified when someone sends a direct message to me or adds a moment or anything else for that matter. I realize as a third party I don’t need to see all the intricate details, however getting notifications for messages and things/events I’m directly involved in seems kind of important.

Worse app ever. 👎

The app constantly freezes up esp when writing a long message then you have to shut it down and lose everything and start over

I purchased the annual thinking this was going to help. The app really looks good and might be exactly what you are looking for.

Unless it’s not what your separated/divorced partner is looking for.

After my ex said she couldn’t afford this app. 3 days from purchase, I requested a refund (payment was the full year).

Developer: has a 30 day refund but presumably only if you purchase from their site. Stated I could only request from Apple since that’s where my purchase went through.

Apple: outright refused the refund. No explanation other than their AI did it and the rep can’t do anything about it. Not even transfer me over to a claim dept or such.

Bank: Denied because of their contact with Apple.
