## What is Fayr?

Fayr is a free co-parenting app for separated parents managing custody, communication, and shared expenses — built to reduce conflict and create clear, exportable records for co-parents and families.

Whether you're newly separated or years into co-parenting, Fayr helps you manage a custody calendar, track parenting time, log shared expenses, and communicate with your coparent — all in one place.

CUSTODY CALENDAR & PARENTING TIME Manage a shared custody calendar built for co-parents. Track parenting time down to the minute, request or track forfeited days, sync with iCal, and add notes for special events and holidays.

COURT-READY DOCUMENTATION Export detailed, timestamped reports for mediation or custody hearings. Keep a full parenting time log, print or save as PDF, and choose any custom date range.

GPS-VERIFIED CHECK-INS Confirm pickups and drop-offs with GPS-verified, timestamped location check-ins — giving both parents clear, reliable proof of where kids are during scheduled exchanges.

COPARENT MESSAGING Keep all communication with your coparent in one place, with a full, exportable message history — reducing miscommunication and conflict.

CHILD SUPPORT & EXPENSE TRACKING Track child support and shared expenses by category — medical, dental, school, and more. Upload receipts and photos, and export clean reports whenever you need them.

### 5/5 — New update is smooth

*2026-08-01*

The new update from the last few days is fantastic. It isn’t freezing up on me anymore which was causing me to force the app to shut down and restart. The interface is slick and feels more modern. And I love what you guys did with the read receipts. I’m still having an issue with not being able to scroll up very far to see previous messages so I have to export a report in order to see those messages. I still have a lot of functions to test out, but I’m sure those are great as well. Keep up the great work. The best thing about this app is how simple it is, and how it’s focused on communicating rather than litigating.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you very much for the kind words - we have worked very hard to deliver this update and we are glad its appreciated! I have added the chat issue to our tasklist for the next sprint - we will resolve that for you. If you have any other feedback or questions, please dont hestitate to reach out to support@fayr.com

### 3/5 — Error Screen

*2026-06-20, version 3.10.2*

Very hard to add co parent. Constantly getting error screen.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-01-17*

The app doesn’t show messages and there’s a glitch or something in their system. I’ve contacted support numerous times and no response. I’m seeing the message pop up in notifications, but when I open the app- I can’t see anything. I also can’t send any messages when I know the other parent is sending messages - very frustrating. Looking for a new app similar to AppClose and have yet to find a free working app to communicate effectively. I’ve tried our family wizard, talking parents and Fayr. All no good.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you very much for your review!
We are sorry to hear you have experienced issues with Fayr, we have had disruptions in the development and support teams, but we are commited to regaining Fayr reputation as the best co-parenting app.

Please reach out to us on support@fayr.com and we will reply within 1 business day!

### 2/5 — Then most important part doesn’t work well

*2026-01-12*

For me, I needed an app for expenses the most. This was advertised as court-approved and I saw we could add in receipts for records. What a relief! However when you attempt to download the list of expenses, it will send a large spreadsheet, with no attached receipt/photos, poor categories, and basically something that I would have to look through individually and create a new spreadsheet if I wanted something to actually turn into the courts. This app feels like someone’s good idea that was just never finished. If you developers could make a better spreadsheet download for the expenses, (and where did the receipts go?!!!) it would gain 2+ more stars! Looking at My Family Wizard, but my ex will probably never agree to another app at this point.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for your review!
Sorry to hear that the exports feature did not suit your needs - we are planning to release a new version of the app in the next couple weeks, we will be improving features based on feedback of proactive customers, such as yourself!

Please reach out to us on support@fayr.com and we will reply within 1 business day!

### 1/5 — Does not load

*2025-09-11*

I really wanted to like this app. The page setup/ look or it is great but the thing will not load at all, I’ve reached out to support many times via webpage because even submitting a support ticket through the app doesn’t even work. Coparenting can be frustrating enough at times so when you are messaging something important and you can’t even get to the messaging after several minutes/reloads, it’s extremely frustrating. It also only timestamps when a message is read and not when it’s sent so that’s a disadvantage too

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Sorry to hear you have had issues, we had some disruptions in our team.
We are working hard to address all outstanding issues, including the ones you describe here, so we would welcome you to give Fayr another try!

Please reach out to us on support@fayr.com and we will reply within 1 business day!

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-01-08*

The Fayr app is an excellent tool for co-parents looking to collaborate effectively and stay organized. It offers an intuitive platform to plan and implement events, track activities, and keep both parents on the same page when it comes to their children’s schedules.

One of the standout features is how seamlessly it allows parents to coordinate and manage upcoming activities. From school events to extracurriculars, everything is in one place, making it easy to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. The shared calendar feature is particularly helpful, as it keeps everyone informed and eliminates the need for constant back-and-forth communication.

Fayr also provides space for notes and updates, which makes it easier to track details like deadlines, responsibilities, and even last-minute changes. This functionality fosters better communication and helps parents work as a team to prioritize their children’s needs.

Overall, Fayr is a fantastic resource for co-parents striving to create a smooth and efficient partnership. It’s user-friendly, well-designed, and makes the often-complicated process of co-parenting much simpler. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Great to hear that you like our app!
If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to us on support@fayr.com and we will reply within 1 business day!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2024-02-11, version 3.6.5*

This app is pretty good. The only suggestion I’d make is to be able to color coordinate the circles for parenting time on the calendar to my visual preference. My brain works opposite to how it’s set up - and is not a “know at a glance, without having to think” set-up. 

If this would change, I’d almost say it’s better than Our Family Wizard. Especially for the price.

### 1/5 — Lost everything

*2023-12-06*

Literally lost everything from our parenting conversations for the last 2 years worst experience after paying $10 a month this app just crashed and I’ve emailed the company serval times over the last year and never received a response

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for your review!
We are very sorry to hear that you had this issue, our development and support team had serious disruptions, which prevented us from giving clients the care they deserve.

Please reach out to us on support@fayr.com and we will reply within 1 business day!

### 2/5 — Worst App I have Ever Encountered

*2023-10-31*

I am giving two stars because the calendar was easy to use. I could create a schedule day by day much more easily than other apps, which is why I bought it. After ten months of no issues, and logging daily parenting time, it suddenly crashed out of nowhere and I lost all of my data. Now it’s not even recognizing that I have an account. Beyond furious. I needed that data for my court case and now I have to reconstruct it in a different calendar. Whomever made this app, please fix this screw up.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for your review!
We apologixe for this incident, we have had some serious issues with the development and support team. Currently we are working hard to regain our reputation because of this.

If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to us on support@fayr.com and we will reply within 1 business day!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-09-18, version 3.6.5*

Having to deal with a narcissist co-parent is hard so I thought this would be a good idea but it won’t let me send a share link any other way. 

App can’t be used
