Why so difficult?

I find the app hard to engage. You don’t have a syncing option for ICal.

Unable to create account and no one to speak with

I love the concept. However, I’m unable to create an account also there isn’t anyone available by phone to problem solve with. I would like to learn about and potentially use the service but information is lacking on the website and this app.

Excellent app

This app works great. It helps me stay on top of my volunteering commitments. The latest version is very fast and responsive.

App is incredibly slow

This is a wonderful way to serve the elderly, but sadly the app needs some work. If I try to change or add anything it sits for an incredibly long time. Even clicking a menu item results in a loooooong wait. Too bad. Good way to frustrate volunteers.

great service and app is smooth

This is a terrific service that helps the seniors in our lives. I use it to schedule visits with a
delightful year old retired college professor in Laos Altos, CA. We go for walks, talk about college life, and politics too!

App is smooth and has been improving in terms of speed and features over the last couple of months.

Such a meaningful app

This app sets up visits with seniors. I’m helping a retired professor write his memoir! It’s the most meaningful part of my week. Thank you.

Won’t let me create an account

This app sounded perfect for me, but it won’t let me log in threw my gmail account. Says “could not authorize through google” even after a successful login threw the site, the app shows that error message.

Hi -- Thank you for the feedback. We are so pleased you recently learned about us on Good Morning America, and sorry you had a sub-par experience.

To that end, we provide access to the app only following the initial matching process. We will take your feedback into account and modify the information on our app to make this clearer and to facilitate easy signup.

Can’t even get the app to open I

Response from developer

We are sorry you were unable to get the application to open. We have not heard this from other customers, so would be keen to talk to you to see if we can identify and fix the problem. If you are willing, please reach out to me directly -- Steve Fram, CTO at Mon Ami: steve@monami.io, so I can work with you identify and resolve the problem. Thank you.

Won’t let me log in

I have a valid Gmail account and the app keeps saying that my account can not be verified. I am currently viewing all my emails using Gmail and it’s valid. I deleted the app.
