If you’re searching for the best co-parenting app you need to check out AppClose. It is
the number one co-parenting app. AppClose will help you feel more confident navigating through your new co-parenting role and all that comes with it. AppCLose is a way to make things simpler, organized, and more convenient for everyone involved. Co-parenting is not always easy, but it can be easier for everyone involved if we allow it to be. AppClose is not a basic co-parenting app that just shares parenting time schedules and notes. It is much more than that! With AppClose co-parents, stepparents, family members, childcare providers, professionals, and other third parties – regardless of whether or not they use the app – can communicate and share information easily from the convenience of any mobile device. By organizing priorities and obligations, AppClose has made it even easier for you and the people in your circle to communicate, manage tasks, share appointments and events, track expenses, and send & receive money for reimbursement obligations.
There are so many great features that the creators of this app have thought of and included to make co-parenting more seamless for everyone involved. Did I mention that it is also FREE to use, with no monthly or yearly subscription fees. It’s a no-brainer to download and use this app.
Calendar
AppClose features multi-functional calendars that are designed to keep co-parents, step-parents, family members, childcare providers, and third parties – regardless of whether or not they use the app – all on the same page, all the time! With AppClose’s easy-to-use parenting schedule templates, preset calendar options, statistic features, and comment capabilities, your record-keeping abilities are endless! What I love most about the calendar feature is that it allows you to view parenting time percentages and even your planned vs. actual parenting time using our built-in parenting schedule statistics tracker! This is convenient for documentation and legal purposes.
Messenger Reliably text the same way you always have with anyone connected to AppClose and enjoy the convenience of having all of your parenting communications in one location! This includes the ability to group chat, communicate with your attorney confidentially, and export any communications between you and your contacts if needed for any reason. Additionally, and in order to keep accurate records between parents, chat conversations between co-parents cannot be altered or deleted (unless both parents delete their AppClose account).
Requests Need to be reimbursed for medical expenses or extracurricular activities? Need to change a drop-off time or swap parenting days?
Submit your requests to the other parent or a third party through AppClose and get notified immediately when your request is approved, paid, or declined. Scanning receipts or attaching documentation related to requests is easy and can be done exclusively by using the app! AppClose even facilitates payments through ipayou, our built-in payment solution, making it easy to stay on top of financial obligations.
Expenses Get paid and send payments for expenses within seconds using ipayou, our secure, built-in payment solution! From activities to medical expenses, it’s a lot to keep track of, especially when child-related expenses are often split between two households. AppClose’s integrated expense tracker is designed to:
help you better understand your spending by tracking expenses by category;
allow you to quickly submit expenses for reimbursement; and
send and receive payments quickly!
This feature has been convenient for us not just for the small things, but for Child Support Payments as well. Recently, our custody and support were re-done. There were some additional changes made to the online child support payment portal that was not timely or efficient for both of us. Not to mention there were newly charged fees associated with using the portal. Now all of our child support payments are made through the AppClose portal, which is securely tracked on the app. Exporting Records With Appclose, exporting records is simple and FREE! Whether you need records for personal use or for litigation purposes, you can easily export the following records as needed:
Unaltered text messages (one-on-one or group chat messages)
Expense records
Reimbursement requests
Requests for Pick Up, Drop Off, or Swapping Days
AppClose Solo requests and events
Your Circle Your circle is essentially the way you connect to a group of people through the app! You can have multiple circles with multiple members, even if those invited into your circle choose not to use the app. In addition to co-parents and children, stepparents, grandparents, other caregivers, and even third-party professionals are often part of an AppClose circle!
Your profile and children’s important information is securely stored and is only shared with those who have been approved to be in your circle. Having this information readily available makes it super easy to share important information with the other parent such as alternative child care providers, school information, allergy details, measurements, and more - all at the touch of a button!
For us personally, the only two members of our circle are my ex and I. It is easier for us to be able to navigate our co-parenting relationship, rather than to include any outside influences.
AppClose Solo AppClose included an additional feature called AppClose Solo, which is a unique and exclusive feature only available to AppClose users, allowing you to send requests or events to non-connected co-parents, third parties, or other family members via text, email, or social media. You can even attach receipts or documents and export and print any records you might need for free with access to all the other benefits of AppClose.
When you send a request or event to a non-connected party, that person is then notified with a link to view and respond by approving or declining your request or event. Once the non-connected party responds, you will receive a notification and this response will be automatically recorded in the app. This allows you to keep accurate records within your AppClose account concerning your attempts to send and inform others of any financial obligations, events, or other important information concerning your child.
