Poorly designed and ill-thought out feature set
The calendaring support on this app, one of its primary draws, is absolutely horrendous. I don’t think the app designers/developers have ever actually used a modern calendar system. They require that you view all of your apps in their app, if you want to have a combined view of all of your calendars. They don’t publish their calendars outside of the app. That’s already annoying but if you actually use calendars for work and life and try to view all of them in the app alongside your parenting calendar the whole app bogs down and can’t handle the strain.
Then turn to messaging. Threads with your coparent aren’t searchable. So if you do need to go back and find something, your options are scroll up until you find it, export the thread to PDF or text and search it there. The apps solution, allowing you to bookmark individual messages is a largely useless feature, as you will not remember what you need to look for until after you’ve scrolled away from it.
If I didn’t have to use this app, I wouldn’t. I wish the company would invest as much in making the app useful as they clearly have in lobbying jurisdictions to mandate its use. Now, rest assured they respond with their boilerplate response indicating that they don’t actually care.

This app has potential but the calendar is horrible
Sharing your schedule on the calendar is an absolute nightmare, it takes forever to do and I still get complaints from my ex that I havent shared my calendar. Even though on each event/schedule it says shared with her.
Needs improvement, something similar to microsoft outlook calendar is needed
