Please share your parenting app experiences

Hi guys I currently have email contact with the ex but she has applied for new CAO proceedings. Communication isn’t great between us and kept at a minimum, my solicitor has recommended using AppClose.
Does this app let you store ALL messages? My worry is that there may be a time frame it keeps then say after 30 days they’re deleted? At least with email they’re all stored and you can reply to certain things.
Let me know everyone’s thoughts and experiences

Hi, they are all stored and cannot be deleted once sent and you can convert them into a pdf to provide to court or Cafcass if needed.

I have never used that one.
We use talking parents app and that definitely stores history, you can also download full history as well which I found very very handy!

I've used AppClose now for close to 12m, there are a lot of features but I mainly use the messaging.

There is a subscription but I just pay for both of us as it keeps all the messages and generally speaking keeps her in check.

Every now and again when there is a flair up having it in the app keeps it limited, I don't communicate in any other method except AppClose.

As aside, there is a good calendar function, you can set it up so it's not shared but if you put a childcare schedule in, it works out percentage of time with each parent!

Seconded for Appclose. I/we use the free version which seems just fine

Do any of these apps offer a sign up bonus or affiliate programme? @Ash not sure if appropriate but a number of services you could link to, so the site is funded. Even to Amazon etc. I am sure many of us when needing these services would use your link or code. Just a polite thought.

Glad to see a post from you @MagicJ

Also using AppClose (free) no issues here keeps everything recorded and available.
