A lot to keep track of regarding the kids' activities? Equipment, times, and place for games or canceled practices? Here, you'll learn more about how the app works for you to keep things organized easily.
The core idea is to share information about the kids as easily and smoothly as possible. When you and your co-parent share important information with each other and others, activities and changes are visible to everyone as soon as you or someone else enters them.
This means no one needs to write in their own calendar and then send SMS or remind in other ways. The app also shows whether the co-parent has seen the information or not.
Go to the Calendar and click the orange "plus" on the right > Activity
Enter:
Press Save, and the activity is added and shared. Done!
Once activities are added and made visible, they appear immediately for you, your co-parent, the children, and others who need to know about the activity. Therefore, an activity only needs to be entered once for the information to be spread to everyone who needs it. Efficient!
If someone later adjusts the activity, it updates directly in the app so everyone sees the same thing. This saves time, and no one needs to send SMS or email. Since everyone sees the same information in the same way, the risk of misunderstandings and conflicts is also reduced.
If you enable notifications under Settings, you'll receive reminders about activities. This can be very helpful in the morning when there's a lot to keep track of and it's important to remember the lunchbox for the school trip.
Additionally, if you sync with your own calendar, it's hard to miss what the kids (and you as a parent) have on the agenda! And voilà, you've got everything under control!
Tip!
You can also add activities that only concern you and ignore the visibility setting. Only you will see the activity. Safe and secure!
