General bug fixes and enhancements

User reviews

Checks

I have approved checks but activity is still there

Submit button greyed out a lot / Coukd be more user friendly

I find that the submit button is greyed out too often, hence unable to submit. Always inputting the same old stuff so would be good if certain information could be stored/saved …could be more user friendly.

Not user friendly

The whole set up is clunky and doesn’t flow. Really needs reimagined.

Not fit for purpose

The app doesn’t support equal parenting rights. If this was a joint bank account both account holders would need to agree before a transaction could be made. And yet for co-parents using this app, one parent is excluded in their right to agree to permission.

Not user friendly

Submit and save buttons not highlighted therefore cannot complete the form.
