User Reviews

AppClose is valued by some users for its role in court-ordered co-parent communication and for features like printing messages and video calls, plus basic logging of conversations. However, most reviews cite serious reliability issues (messages/calls/notifications), a costly and opaque subscription model with iPayou limits, and poor customer support. Additional concerns include notification UI quirks and calendar/transaction limitations. Overall, reliability and support are the dominant negatives that offset potential benefits for users relying on the app for legal/co-parenting needs.
Pros
  • Effective for co-parent communication, especially when court-ordered.
  • Features like printing messages and making video calls.
  • Useful for logging conversations (communication history).
Cons
  • Frequent reliability issues: messages and calls often don’t work, with delayed or missing notifications.
  • Mandatory pricing model: monthly/yearly subscriptions with perceived limited value and iPayou transaction limits.
  • Poor or slow customer support, with many reports of unhelpful or unresponsive help.
  • UX/feature problems like generic notification banners and calendar/transaction limitations.

I chose this app years ago for its functionality while still being free, as I didn’t know what my life was going to be like post-divorce. The app is pretty cumbersome. Needing a lot of clicks to add an expense, which is now what I use it the most for. I’d love to see the ability to have repeating expenses (like medical insurance, allowance, or phone bills that don’t change every month) to decrease my workload of tracking expenses, as that alone takes a lot of mental workload for me on a monthly basis. Or at least autofill some things when it sees that I’m typing on something familiar. It does have all the scheduling capabilities, and syncs well with my iCal, so I give it another star for that, but we do not use this for that function. Now that it is a paid app, the things that make it cumbersome will have me looking at other apps to see if they are more streamlined. My ex didn’t even want to start paying for this one, but I wasn’t ready to figure out a new method to get reimbursed for all of my expenses.

Difficult to use, when you try to add an agreed parenting schedule the calendar does not reflect the addition correctly. Tried this app to see my schedule months ahead since it was free but now they want to you to pay for it. Deleted this app and am using the native iOS calendar with no errors and is so much easier to use.

I wish you could change notification sounds or something and my other issue is half the time I don’t get notifications from my ex send me a message. They need to figure out how to do something with the notifications.
