Yep. I think this is the first thread of this kind on here! So - short story - I have a crazy ex. And I've learned a few things and ways that my smartphone has or could have helped. Here are the main ones:
Dropbox or Evernote:
One thing I learned real quick - document everything. Everything. Great way to store information whether it's audio clips, images, documents, etc. Very helpful.
Google Drive:
Similar to these, but good to store legal documents. My kids live in another state and once after driving down there (2.5 hours) I found out my ex didn't want to bring them to meet me. So I had to go to the local law enforcement and have them, um, "persuade" her to do the right thing. So I keep copies of my divorce decree and other subsequent agreements and such on Drive and I can show them to law enforcement or easily print them or Email them as needed.
Call Recorder:
I'm currently using a free app called "App Recorder." Clever, huh? It's simple - it records every call from the moment the line starts ringing. Unlike others, it doesn't require you to be on speakerphone. The only downside of the free version is that it records all calls (can't be selective). That, and a potential downside is that it doesn't work with Bluetooth. But the quality of the recorded call is great.
Hopefully not many of you need these apps for these purposes, but if you do - they're very helpful.
