Cheryl, I guess Families has a learning curve like any program. There seems to have been a change to the Families Sync program to get your data to the device OR I've learnt better how to use it as this part of the process is much easier. Both of these could cause negative comments on the Play Store.
I use it to view my data when out and about. The reason I don't use it to enter data is that I mainly use the SourceWriter system for entering sources and although the sync back from Families preserves existing SourceWriter sources, you can't enter them in Families - and of course there is no Source Clipboard to enable you to source easily.
