Description

Parents who are divorced, separated, or were never legally married use TalkingParents to manage all communication regarding their children. Whether your co-parenting situation is amicable or high conflict, our cutting-edge tools make joint custody easier to navigate, while keeping interactions saved to a court-admissible Record. TalkingParents is here to help you coordinate more seamlessly, set boundaries, and focus on what matters most: your children. Secure Messaging: Send messages that can’t be edited or deleted and easily organize them by topic. All messages and read receipts are timestamped, allowing you to see when your co-parent sent or viewed a message. Accountable Calling: Make phone and video calls, complete with recordings and transcripts, without ever having to share your phone number. Shared Calendar: Manage custody schedules and your child’s appointments and activities all on a Shared Calendar that both parents can access. Create single events for things like doctor’s appointments and repeating events for your child’s extracurriculars and custody transition days. Accountable Payments: Make payment requests and securely send or receive money, allowing you to keep track of all shared parenting expenses. Requests and payments are timestamped, and you can also schedule monthly recurring payments. Info Library: Share important details about the kids with customizable cards that both parents can access without having to contact each other. This feature is a great place to store frequently used information like clothing sizes, medical information, and more. Personal Journal: Keep private notes about thoughts and interactions you want recorded for later. Whether it’s in-person discussions with your co-parent or child behavior observances, journal entries are just for you and can include up to five attachments. Vault File Storage: Store photos, videos, and important documents. Your Vault cannot be accessed by your co-parent, but you may choose to share files with any third party by copying or emailing a link, which can be set to expire. You can also download files to your device. Unalterable Records: All interactions within TalkingParents are stored to Unalterable Records that are trusted by legal professionals and accepted in courtrooms nationwide. Each Record includes a Digital Signature and unique 16-digit Authentication Code that verifies the Record is genuine and has not been modified in any way. PDF and Printed Records are available for Secure Messaging, Accountable Calling, Shared Calendar, Accountable Payments, Info Library, and Personal Journal. FAQs: Do I have to be on the same plan as my co-parent? No, you can communicate through TalkingParents no matter what plan your co-parent is on. We offer four different plans—Free, Essentials, Enhanced, or Ultimate. (Free users do not have access to the mobile app.) Is TalkingParents court-monitored? No, though Unalterable Records are court-admissible and can be used as evidence in family law cases, no one monitors interactions between you and your co-parent. This is for the privacy of our users. Can I change plans? Yes, TalkingParents offers monthly subscriptions that make it easy to modify your plan at any time. If you don’t think your needs will change throughout the year, we also offer annual plans that include a 16% discount. Can my account be deleted? No, TalkingParents does not allow the deletion of accounts once created and matched. This ensures that neither co-parent can remove an account and clear messages, call records, or other details within the service. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

  • Mid-level app got worse with new rollout

    I’ve been subscribed to this app for four years. It was basic, but functional. However, about a month ago, they rolled out a very big updated version. It has a slightly better look and feel - but at the cost of not working. Basic functionality has been lost - THE ONLY REASON I PAY TO USE THIS APP HAS BEEN BROKEN!! Now: *I don’t always get notified when I get new messages *It often takes up to three minutes for the app to load *Sometimes the app refuses to load at all *New messages don’t show up and I only find them after I coincidentally reopen the app for another reason FOCUS ON BASIC FUNCTIONALITY AND QA - FIX YOUR APP!!!
  • Not really worth it

    I got the app thinking it was fee and going to help with co-parenting. The app is technically not free. To use the app at all both parents have to pay. If you do use the free version you have to use the web browser and only get notifications through email. The app is more inconvenient than anything else. There is no point for the app if everything free has to be done through the web browser. I’ve honestly just found it as more of a hassle than anything else.

    This app is full of bugs. It constantly logs out automatically, crashes, drops calls, and often doesn’t send notifications when someone is calling. I’ve been using it for over a year and it doesn’t seem like the developers are interested in making the app better.
  • Unethical

    I think there should not be any advertising on this APP. Profiting from conflict is unethical
  • Expensive

    Too expensive for what you get. Slow, crashes, logs you out frequently, cannot see attachments from the app, does not refresh new messages, notifications have no preview, etcetera. The only good feature is the shared calendar, which you can have with another apps way cheaper than this one. This app should be like 1.99 per month for what you get.
  • Terrible service

    My ex and I decided to try this over Family Wizard. We thought the cost was $270 for both of us. We made an honest mistake and they refuse to refund the money even though we realized our mistake immediately. I’d give 0 stars if I could.
  • Too many App Errors and Crashes

    We have been using this app following an order from the Court to do so for the past few years. This app is completely undependable and crashes and reboots constantly. For being a Court ordered product, the amount of crashes and lost messages are incredibly high, year after year. Then they have the audacity to keep jacking up the yearly cost. Year after year. What a joke. Avoid this app if you can.
  • Crashes literally every time I try to open a message

    Bad enough that it’s an app capitalizing on divorced parents and custody issues. It would be nice for the app to actually function. I open it, it takes 30 seconds to open. Then, it doesn’t even indicate that I have new messages. I have to force the app to refresh 3 TIMES and then, and only after refreshing 3 times, will the app COMPLETELY CRASH and restart which takes another 30 seconds. THEN! I finally get my messages. Worst app ever.
