I was a victim of domestic violence and narcissistic abuse, that extended into post-separation legal abuse. Our divorce lasted over five years from this… it gave me plenty of time to research and go to therapy, where this became suggested to me (not by my attorney, who turned a sick profit from my misfortune). I wouldn't say the tone filter is worth it, but documenting the messages and showing restraint in what you are willing to actually entertain does when dealing with verbal abuse. The program cannot make your ex go to therapy, or into a better version of their self any more than you could do while together, feel me? I volunteered to pay my ex's subscription fee, and made sure our order stated that all communication that isn't an emergency is done through it. The calendar has a bit of a learning curve at first, but after that it's pretty easy to set it up, and the OFW pay is hands-down the best part of it. Do I upload reciepts for copays of $0.67 even? Yes. Yes I do. Every single one now. I'm sure my ex would write a one star review against this, just because of the accountability involved. (When) My ex pays their half of stuff, they do multiple items at once to avoid the extra fees, but it's an easy way to show documentation on both ends of things. The only one who could complain on that, is someone who doesn't want to do the right thing. The messages still come at me full of word-salad, deflection, projection, lies, and complete disrespect… and if it's not conductive coparenting, I don't mess with it. Let them explain it to a judge later if it gets too bad. It's within your parental rights that you aren't spoken about or to in a derogatory way. You are paying for admissibility in court. If that upsets you enough to leave a bad review, maybe you're mad you can't speak to your ex any old way anymore. If it doesn't help your child, don't do it. This helps organize everything though. Messages, expenses, calendar, regular providers, medications, and even details about your child in case if the worst of the worst happens and they are abducted (I'm which case if the other parent didn't do it, I would HOPE you work together to be sure they're found and safe!). Anyways, seeing all the bad reviews, I wanted to keep it real with y'all. This has been the best investment ever, and I wouldn't trade it for a second. Messages in ONE PLACE, no calls, texts, emails, hijacking teacher email threads to harass, social medias, whatever else… the order says it's HERE and here, can be submitted as evidence. That peace is worth anything, and takes up server space, especially for their highly secure servers.

Tip for consumers:
I feel like offering more and more in-depth video tutorials for all phone OS and browsers would be especially useful in easing confusion, I feel like people confuse user-error from not knowing these tech-support type things as a customer support issue. Customer support has always been helpful for me, through any confusions. There are transaction fees, so when paying shared expenses follow your parenting plan, but consolidating them to once or twice a month helps.

Products used:
My subscription, the option to pay for other parent’s subscription, tone meter, and currently 1GB memory. Initially did annual renewals, more recently paid for 2yr at once to get it out of the way
