OurFamilyWizard is the #1 co-parenting app trusted by courts and family law professionals across all 50 states in the US, as well as Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The app has been featured in the New York Times, Parents.com, Verywell Family, NPR, WIRED, the Today Show, and more. OurFamilyWizard makes co-parenting easier. We designed these tools to help you reduce conflict, so your kids can thrive after a separation or a divorce. With our powerful and customizable tools, you can free up time, emotional energy, and mental space. With all your digital co-parenting interactions rolled up in one secure app, you can keep everything organized and documented. Plus, you can shield your kids from adult conversations they don’t need to see. NEW: STAY CONNECTED THROUGH CALLS • Stay close when you’re apart When you miss your child or they miss you, give them an audio or video call. • Connect virtually Calls offer an easy solution for virtual visitation, midweek visits, or long-distance co-parenting. *Currently, the calls feature is only available to users located in the United States. • Automatic documentation With Calls, the details are documented: all dates, times, and in-call activity. All in the same place as your other co-parenting communications. SIMPLIFY COMMUNICATION • Use just one app No more searching for messages or attachments across DMs, phone calls, texts, and emails. Just use one secure app. • Track the truth Once you send a message, it’s permanent. First-viewed timestamps mean no more arguing about who said what, when, or whether it was seen. • Communicate calmly ToneMeter AI catches language that could escalate conflict and offers suggestions on how to rewrite your message. COORDINATE YOUR CALENDAR • Create a parenting time schedule (or custody schedule) The color-coded schedule shows what’s coming up, including events, holidays, and drop-offs/pick-ups. • Encourage reliability When everyone shares the same Calendar, mix-ups are a thing of the past. • Schedule Change Requests Need to make a one-time change to the schedule? Adjust the Calendar with an easy form. STREAMLINE YOUR EXPENSES • Simplify the math Keep clear, secure records of your co-parenting expenses and receipts. • Customize categories Create new categories, with your own percentage splits. • Centralize everything With OFWpay, you can reimburse your co-parent in the app—and you can even make scheduled payments for child support. (Or record payments via another method.) KEEP A MEANINGFUL JOURNAL • Log when you arrive Verify your presence at drop-offs and pick-ups with GPS Check-Ins. • Capture memories Record parenting observations and special, close moments with photos and text. SHARE INFO ABOUT YOUR KIDS • Store essential details Share and view medical records, clothing sizes, school information, and more. • Minimize messaging No need to message your co-parent for basic stuff—just check the Info Bank. DOCUMENTATION AND REPORTS If you need to go to court or mediation, quick and simple documentation will make your life easier. It only takes a couple minutes on the website to customize and download a report from any app feature. GRANT YOUR PROS ACCESS With your permission and a Practitioner Account, your family law pro can view all app activity, help you manage the practical details, and quickly download reports—which potentially reduces your legal fees. Available for: Lawyers Mediators Parenting coordinators Guardians ad litem Therapists KEEP EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE OurFamilyWizard helps you coordinate with your co-parent, but you can also add accounts for your kids and anyone involved in childcare. (These accounts can only view limited features.) HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? Our customer service and tech support are available 7 days a week—contact us via phone, chat, or email. We’d love to help. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Worth despite a number of frustrations
10/21/2024

FiggieMe
It does what it needs to. And despite the below criticism, it’s still worth getting.The app is finicky at times. If you’re searching for messages sometimes it needs to be reset or it won’t show messages that do meet your search criteria. The calendar is a bit annoying because it will only show an event “viewed” by the other parent if they click on it even though they can receive event notifications in message form and there’s no way for you to send that they looked at that message. So they can use the excuse that they never saw the event. If you close out of the app without saving a message draft, it usually doesn’t save the draft, which is Really frustrating if you get a call or a text in the middle of drafting a message. You can lose all of a large part of it.This isn’t related to the app exclusively but OFW in general. I really wish they would add a feature that allows you to schedule a message to be sent later at a specific date and time. I tend to think of a lot of things in succession, but if I just leave them as a draft so as not to overwhelm my co-parent then I always forget to send them.

Buggy and doesn’t notify of messages on IOS

The application doesn’t work completely, you’re not able to add any information to be able to save between parties. I made a complaint about this and they told me to use the website but I paid $150 to use the app, not the website. Last week my ex-husband messaged me three times and I got no notifications about any of the messages. I happen to open it yesterday to find the messages and checked on my notifications in my settings and everything is turned on to blast my phone if he messages me. This can create discontent within your relationship and I would not recommend it until they really take these bugs seriously. I emailed them and told them they caused problems between my ex and I and their solution was to give me a refund and cancel my account, now my ex-husband has no one to talk to on the app and I have to re-order the account and pay the full amount because they will not prorate the parts that are not useful. When I emailed them and asked them what they were going to do about the bug issues and the things that I have reported, they refuse to answer my emails. Now, since my ex-husband has already paid for his subscription, I’m stuck paying for a second subscription even though these features don’t work and I’m going to have to monitor the application several times a day to see if he’s messaging me. This is the biggest rip off going because they know that you have no choice except to have the same application as your coparent.

Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear that you've run into problems with notifications. If you haven't done so already, you may want to reset your notifications by turning your settings off and on again. You can also turn on email and text message notifications (on top of push) to get alerted via other methods.

Not worth the cost

Unfortunately you’re locked in for a year whether you end up finding it useful or not. The functions are nice in theory but few work as seamlessly as they should for a paid app with little support available. (Long response times and calling during business hours just gets you a voicemail) Parenting schedule is unable to accommodate the common once/week evening visitation. Various functions require redundant steps in order to execute, such as events. Expenses are only able to be split 50/50 or 100% so if your court order is different than that it may require extra effort and explanation in each entry. Notifications are unspecific and unable to view detail so if you receive a notification an event has changed (ex: coparent changes pick up time on an event) you click the notification and it takes you to Home Screen so will not know what change was made. Face ID. Fails half the time for some reason and you can’t save login info and it requires you to login anytime you navigate out of the app so be prepared to spend a lot of extra effort just logging in, compared to other apps. I see the potential for this to be “the best coparenting app” it claims but actual use after 4 months proves more frustration than help. With how long they take to acknowledge issues and feedback I don’t have high hopes they’ll improve functionality anytime soon

Thank you for reaching out. The Parenting Schedule reflects overnight events. If you'd like to create an evening visitation schedule you'd need to create a recurring event. Tap on New Event and in the Repeats section set your schedule. You can also create custom expense categories. On the app, go to Expenses, tap the blue + icon, then tap New Category. There it'll allow you to create any percentage split you'd like. If you go to the Messages section of the app and tap the 3 bars on the top left corner you'll find your Notifications folder with all if the updates and edits submitted by your co-parent. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@ourfamilywizard.com for additional support.

Needs app updates/calendar improvements!
06/02/2023

Just started using this after hearing it was the gold standard for co-parenting apps. The calendar could use some improvements. It’s frustrating to manually input calendar entries and then if you have to click “edit” for a simple change, it removes your dates and times and you basically start from scratch, and if you missnoticing it did that and click out then have to go back yet again, that is not editing! I waste more time editing than should be necessary to enter one small change. That is a glitch that should be fixable on the app end I would think. Also is it possible to sync with other calendars? Maybe I missed this somewhere, if not it is needed, to save time manually re-entering things already in other calendars. Lastly, please make the mobile app capabilities able to do the same things as the web version. I can’t always go to my computer and it seems there are a lot of things that the app can’t do. Also can’t figure out on mobile how to set up kids acts to message etc on it, unless that is done on computer only also. It would also be nice to have the mobile app calendar color coded by kid but I can’t find that feature either. Thanks for reading my feedback!

We've been hard at work improving the app to help it run smoothly. We made some tweaks, and fixed some bugs. We laid the groundwork for more improvements, too—so keep an eye out for future updates. We're always working to make the app more effective and easier to use.
