"TalkingParents has been a complete game-changer for my family. The fact that messages cannot be deleted or edited has completely eliminated the 'he-said, she-said' drama that used to fuel our conflicts. Having unalterable, court-admissible records gave me so much peace of mind during our mediation process. It is worth every penny for the reduced stress alone."

"As a busy father, keeping track of soccer schedules and medical bills used to be a nightmare over fragmented text threads. The Shared Calendar and Accountable Payments features have streamlined everything into one professional space. We finally have a single source of truth for our kids' needs, and I love that I can maintain boundaries without sharing my private phone number."

Summary

This app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily from users mandated to use it by court orders, leading to significant frustration. Users frequently report poor stability and performance, including slow loading times, random crashes, and automatic logouts. Critical functionalities like reliable notifications, sending attachments, and video call quality are consistently cited as major issues, with a recent "big update" widely blamed for introducing these significant bugs. While some appreciate its record-keeping capabilities and organizational tools, along with a recent positive development of free call time on standard plans, these positives are overshadowed by widespread performance and functionality failures.

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.

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/
