Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many people find the app to be a valuable tool for co-parenting, highlighting its effectiveness in moderating communication, managing calendars, and tracking expenses. Users appreciate features like the tone meter and the ability to document interactions, which can be particularly helpful in high-conflict situations. Professionals, including family lawyers and mediators, often recommend the service, finding it aids in accountability and reduces conflict. However, some people were dissatisfied with the subscription model, specifically regarding data storage limits and automatic renewals. There are also concerns about the app's functionality, with some experiencing issues like missed notifications, payment problems, and general unreliability. A few other people also felt that the user experience was not intuitive, and customer support was occasionally unresponsive or unhelpful.

I wanted to cancel my subscription. Delete my account but was unable to because I needed the co parent to approve it. It is my account but I cannot cancel or delete my account. There response was AI driven and a standard response. I tried several times to get resolution and I'm still trying.

This app is so messed up

This app is so messed up, payments are constantly screwed up. You search for help and it sends you to an email. Tells you it will get back to you then it use to be less then 100 dollars now it’s 140 and limits pay transfers it’s not worth the money when your constantly contacting there non existence support team. It’s nothing but taking money and I’m a veteran limited income in a wheel chair and my ex is married to an active duty soldier and they do nothing for me I’m sure my ex gets the free account while they destroy me on money I don’t have. Do not accept this app in a child custody agreement they will destroy you raw.

Thanks for reaching out. Subscriptions will auto-renew until your auto-renewal is turned off through the correct channel (depending on how you originally signed up). Per our policy, we don't offer refunds on processed auto-renewals. If you’d like help confirming your current auto-renewal status so it doesn’t happen again, you can connect with our team directly by email at info@ourfamilywizard.com.

No Help If Co-Parenting Breaks Down

Considering OFW is setup to help co-parenting, when comminication breaks down and you need support (as is the other parent not signing up) they won't give you a refund as per terms and conditions, nice way to treat people, great way to take your money and run :(

We’re really sorry you’re dealing with this. We understand how discouraging it is when communication breaks down and the other parent does not sign up. Even in that situation, you can still use OurFamilyWizard on your own to document messages, schedule changes, and expenses in one secure, time-stamped place. If you’re willing, email info@ourfamilywizard.com and our team can share tips to help you get the most out of your account.

Our Family Wizard offers has a30 day refund policy, I paid for my subscription via Google pay and because of this OFW claim they can't refund my subscription. Google pay will not refund either. This is false and misleading advertising by Our Family Wizard.
The subscription is of no use to me and I am within the 30 day period.
Please tefund my payment as per your 30 day refund policy.

We’re really sorry for how stressful this has been, especially when you’re still within the 30-day window. When a subscription is purchased through Google Play, refunds have to be handled through their system, which we can’t override directly. Please email us at info@ourfamilywizard.com with your account and purchase details so our team can review your case and see if there’s anything more we can do on our end.

app has ruined my relationship with my son. It keeps giving me and him notices that I'm being recorded every minute. These notices disrupt video and audio feed between my son and me, and cause him to give up.

I've complained multiple times, and all I get is instruction to delete and reinstall. Just stop the notices!

This is a court-ordered expense for fathers that makes family relations worse

Reply from OurFamilyWizard

We’re really sorry to hear how this has affected your calls with your son—that’s not the experience we want for any family. The recording notice should only appear once at the start of a call, so what you’re seeing may be a glitch on the account or device. Please send us a new email at info@ourfamilywizard.com so our team can review this in detail and work on a fix with you.

We're really sorry you’re going through this. Feeling like you only get a few minutes a week with your daughter is heartbreaking, and anyone in that position would be upset. Our app itself doesn’t decide how long you can talk—that usually comes down to your plan and, in some cases, your court order. If cost or call limits are getting in the way of your communication with your daughter, please email us at info@ourfamilywizard.com so we can take a closer look at your account and see if there are any options available, including our fee waiver program.

Best co-parenting app for attorneys and parties

I am a family law practitioner and often advise my clients to use OFW. What I like most of all is that I can have my own account on there to monitor communications at my client's request. It makes things easier to quickly respond to my client's needs. For my client's needs, it has everything they could ever need to co-parent -- a calendar, exchange monitor, note, recorded phone/video calls, tonemeter, etc.

App malfunctioned and approved a request I did not approve. When contacted support, they accepted no accountability and blamed it all on me. Support takes a week to respond. They refuse to assist me when their app systematically failed. Please be cautious with this app!
To reply to their response: I have reached out again to support and have been ignored for a week. And the support person, Javier, was very condescending and rude, especially for someone who claims they are a supervisor. You can contact me at hollylegrand1@gmail

I highly recommend OurFamilyWizard to ease communication issues between separated parents

This App has made such a difference to communication between the separated parents I work with. It not only helps a parent feel confident about reading messages without fear of what they may contain, but also encourages parents to think twice about what they write.
The OurFamilyWizard team are also highly responsive to queries, technical support and adding features that make sense.

An Essential Tool for Separated Parents

I regularly recommend OurFamilyWizard to separated parents I work with as a family lawyer. The platform provides a clear, secure way for co-parents to communicate, share information, and manage calendars and expenses without conflict spilling over into emails or messaging apps. Clients consistently find that it reduces stress and legal costs, and judges also welcome the structure it provides. It is an invaluable tool for families navigating separation.

Issues with the current functionality

I have two items which cause me issues, consistently. They are message notifications and saved drafts. The first, message notifications, is a basic tenant of every messaging app. If someone sends me a message in OFW, a number appears next to the app. This does not currently happen and causes against between my ex wife and me, because I don’t know a message is awaiting attention. The second item, saved drafts, would save a tremendous amount of time and animosity with this app. There are many times I’ll start a message and will be interrupted. Instead of returning to my original messages, the app has deleted it and I’m required to start over. What I find interesting is this survey has allowed me to come back to it multiple times and update this feedback, yet messages in the app do not allow this functionality.

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We understand how frustrating it is to miss a message when badge notifications aren’t available—especially when clear communication is critical. You're also absolutely right that a saved drafts feature could prevent unnecessary stress and lost time, particularly in complex conversations. Both of these points have been shared with our product team as we continue working to improve the experience for co-parents. We appreciate you taking the time to share how these features impact your daily use—your input truly helps guide future updates.

The app is easy to use. It is good for keeping track of things from conversations, to bills, to events, and parenting calendars. You can search messages based off key words, print off messages, and it has bars to show you if the message sounds good to send or not. This app has helped me in my custody case.
