"I hope that the new app will help divorcing couples to work through the divorce with less pain on both sides."

It won't. The people who fight over used dish soap and other petty things will continue to have issues.

The other part is people having an incorrect perception of what they are entitled to in a divorce. The app or a lawyer will be able to show them how wrong that perception is, but it won't dull the pain.

What would actually help is forming a prenup while both parties are happy, before vengeance, winning, or whatever emerges from the failed marriage.

This. My ex-wife and I split amicably and without lawyers, it was a really easy process in my state. Not having any assets made things easier but we were mature enough to be adults about it all.

The problem isn't the divorce process, it's the people involved, either the parties to the divorce or their attorneys.
