The app itself is meh at best, with ongoing technical issues. What’s worse is the support staff. They are completely unhelpful and often stop responding altogether, which makes resolving any issue nearly impossible. Needing a coparenting communication app is stressful enough, especially in HC situations. Even after you leave a circle you are still stuck in groups which can be super unsafe, like in DV situations. and it makes it very challenging when dealing with multiple circles.

Used to be free. Wasn't very good when it was free. Now it's not free and still not very good.
wouldn't let me cancel subscription
Crashes all the time, can barely send videos and photos in standard quality. Asks for way too much to pay per month just to use it. This is just a racket and I have the impression this has a darker plot behind it for struggling parents. Do not fund this scam. If an attorney says to use it, fire your attorney. Feel free to ask me why
getting to much of other stuff that I didn't want need to get rid of doubles apps
App continues to crash and is no longer usable for me in Australia.
After months communicating with support to have my approved fee waiver honored I had to pay two months despite waiver approval/ low income due to locked out status demanding payment. Caused trouble in my legal case due to lapses in service AFTER fee waiver approval. They said get your refund from Google Play who said get your refund from AppClose who when told this sends me back to Google Play. No accountability seems to exist. I will update my rating when issue is resolved.
doesn't work
very buggy. The newest bug is that it just keeps vibrating after a call until you reset your phone.
Easy set up
