OFW is the only one I was aware of that was court approved some years ago, but I believe there are quite a few apps now. However I think it is supposed to be the best in terms of, as you say, adding professionals to it. It also has a tone filter.

If only it kept my partners ex civil lol
Just recently I submitted a request to court to have one, via position statement. Actually, I asked first to have communication fully restored and with outside help, but if that's too much to ask for then I go for the app. I also asked for direct exchange of children upon prior arrangements of myself and the other side, rather than nominate third parties I could never properly rely on. Does anyone here know from experience how likely it is the court will permit this?
Bear in mind I have nfa from police, fact find waived and non-molestation order fully expired without a single breach on my part.

It has been documented by my ex that she will not communicate anything to do with our daughter to me.(not seen her for4 months) If the court tell you to use an app but the ex doesn’t use it or the content she inputs is meaningless is there any redress or action the court would take? Would this not show she is the hostile parent, but get away with it as usual?
From what I've read on this forum over longer periods of time, you could refer back to court for a breach of any type of order, from the same. Doesn't matter what it is (including failure to communicate appropriately via an app), so long as you have the evidence to prove a misconduct. That in your case it is documented that your ex does not wish to communicate anything to you regarding your daughter, is practically meaningless unless the court explicitly agrees to her wishes (which is usually, thankfully not the case with most of us in our respective situations here).
Pareful is a great app, it's more focussed on the mental health and wellbeing of the parent than raising children, an area which is often overlooked.
yeah buddy, ex and I have very minimal communication, but when we do its via appclose and seems to work fine
What does you undertaking exactly say? My NMO is no contact with the exception of matters relating to child arrangements/welfare.
mines just no contact with ex
sorry buddy, not sure what to advise. Sure someone else will help. Think it will be difficult for you to use an app with her if your undertaking just states no contact with her completely.
If it says no contact with ex then no you can't use a parenting app unless order says you can communicate via parenting app about child arrangements.
Does it specify via what method? As mine is similar but states via solicitor even though a parenting app was suggested at the time of the criminal sentence it was never put in place, kind of lost in the grand scheme of things, I guess it will be mentioned in next CAO hearing as the CAFCASS said its too much to put on an early teen to decide arrangements etc, but that didn't stop him for the previous 8 months,IMO it's a ruse for me to spend money via a solicitor letters that she never replied to in the past and the arrangements only confirmed when i asked my son do you know times and dates, its goalposts shifting syndrome
no not on my order. for my NMO, it just says parents to agree a parenting app which we did. Ex suggested appclose and I agreed, that was it. I have a recital in my interim CAO (which was after my NMO hearing) that all communication regarding xxxx shall take place via AppClose.

good spot nana and thanks for letting me know! Sorry @Ash can you help please!
Hi everyone,
I couldn't write all I wanted on thread so attached in word document. I wanted to give advice to all Dad's reading this on parenting apps and how to choose and best options in your particular situation, but also on court and I really hope this helps some of you. I have just gone through a difficult Child Arrangements Order court proceedings, and I brought the application against my ex. Sorry it's a bit long, but I really hope it will help some of you. Best of luck on your situation.
