Free parenting app

8 replies

My Ex and I use a parenting app, ordered by the courts, to communicate about our child. The app we use is changing from free to paid for

Does anyone know of any other free parenting apps? (Ex says he can't afford to pay)

If he says he can’t afford to pay I personally think that this is his issue to sort out.

Has he told you that through the app?

RessicaJabbit · 08/01/2026 08:35

I bet he can afford it. How much is it?

Can I ask the name of the app please as I need to start using one?

Yes. It's AppClose.
The cost could be around £5 per month - so the cheapest I have been able to find in terms of cost.

I also don't believe that he can't afford it, but if he refuses to pay, I don't know what I can do. (He manages to afford netflix, the gym, etc and obviously is in arrears with his child maintenance payments)

Perhaps just say I will continue to only communicate via the app, as it's court ordered and not get into a discussion about it? He can bring up his inability to pay at the next court hearing?

Thank you @MyGiddyScroller

My ex said the same. My response was tvat ge had warning that the yearly fee was coming up (we use Our Family Wizard at his suggestion), so he needed to sort it as i refuse to communicate with him in any other way. He told me to oay half his cost at one point. Funnily enough he managed to find the money. The fact yours is court ordered gives you even more backing to stick to your guns.

Agree with everyone else. It’s his problem to sort out Flowers
