Limited Functionality and App is poorly setup
Date formats are all over the place. An example: Creating an event:
Start Date: 10th August
Finish Date: Aug 10
Times are also sometimes in 12 and sometimes in 24hr clocks which causes confusion.
Calendars do not update after amendments (you have to click the event to see the changes)
“Changeover Days” you can’t put a time in, just the day of changeover, which I would expect to be a priority for the purpose of handing children over
App is constantly losing connection and drops any scheduling work you’ve been working on, so you have to recreate it all - sometime an hours worth - very frustrating.
Many features that a simple calendar in google provides, just not available. (Travel Times to destinations, UK businesses in map (really likes French map locations for some reason), in calendars only single day at a time can be viewed.
Calendars do not update if changed from all day event to specific times.
In my opinion, it’s just glitchy, not at all user friendly, and considering it should be a quick and easy thing to use as we all have children to look after, it’s very time consuming, by way of it’s layouts and creation. SORRY.

Amazing Experience
The app is very useful and works really well for both of us.
Not What I Was Expecting
I really wanted to like this app, but unfortunately it hasn’t lived up to my expectations. I found it quite slow and laggy to use, and during setup it asked me to add my co-parent twice, which was confusing.
It also feels like the app is designed more around couples who are separating or going through divorce, rather than supporting the day-to-day realities of long-term co-parenting. I was looking for something that would genuinely help with ongoing communication and organisation, but I don’t feel this app quite delivers that.

Hi Jdemeza, Thank you for your feedback, and sorry to hear that the app is not loading - could you please email us at coparenting@amicable.co.uk so that we can investigate your issue further?
Ok but needs improvement
This app is workable but a little buggy. My main frustration is that every time I open it just to briefly check the calendar, I have to wait forever for it to load. I’ve ended up just taking screen shots of the calendar as it’s just so slow. Also it was difficult initially to set everything up as we follow an unconventional childcare schedule which doesn’t fit the options given. Otherwise it works ok and is useful, definitely better than another well known coparenting app we used before.
