Ratings and Reviews
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.
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.
