User Reviews for TalkingParents

Life saver

First this was recommended by my attorney due to my ex and I can not communicate with out it leading to a fight. In the last 2 years of using it it has protected me and my ex. It keeps us in check knowing these cannot be altered or deleted. Also each message that is sent will tag when the other person reads it. So no games or last min games can be played. All communication goes through talking parent and a permanent record is created.After reading some of the reviews. Some advice!!!If your at the point of using this app or any similar co parenting app. Block the the other person phone, emails, friends, family. All communication goes through talking parent. This way there is no issues. It’s recorded for life. The judge will have no issues. As long as there is away to communicate that’s all that matters.

Disappointing

This is the only way I’ll talk to my ex, it keeps her outbursts to a minimum. It worked great until they added the call record feature. After that it repeatedly crashed when it did open. It stopped sending notifications to my phone and every message I posted had resulted in the app completely crashing every time. Supports solution was to uninstall an download it again. Get your updates corrected and make sure your servers and the endpoint can actually handle the features you’re adding. It’s a good thing this keeps the plaintiff under control or you would no longer have my monthly service fee. Also, if I want to download a conversation please make it so I can select the tab that it is organized into instead of your current method. I want to organize the document by the conversation, sorting through every single message is tedious and time consuming.

Works OK

This app seems to work ok. I paid for the premium access so I can use the app on my phone. More often than not, the app will crash whenever I try to attach a picture or video. I have even made the extra attempt to shorten a video down to just 4 seconds. After a few attempts I can usually get a picture to send but after almost a month I've never been able to send a video. I'm really trying to do whatever I can to stay on his mom's good side by making sure she doesn't miss out on anything he's doing. Obviously not a huge deal but since I'm technically not allowed to text her phone number, it'd be nice to be able to send videos as well as pictures without so much hassle. It's also a bit frustrating that the red notification symbol doesn't disappear even after viewing the message.

Perfect

I have custody with a narcissist and this helps keep track of all communication. He tends to lie and say he wasn’t made aware of things and this app helps me prove that he was. Nothing can be deleted and it’s so easy to find something you need. All you need to do is type in a key word and it brings up all the threads relating to it. So much easier than reading through tons of texts and emails. I cannot make my ex respond, or respond in they way I would like, but if we need to go back to court, I have proof of his lack of response and controlling responses. I would recommend this to anyone having trouble with “co-parenting “ with an ex. They may not like it, but it will help you keep your sanity and maybe cut down on the nastiness.

Communication comes easy now

When I committed to communication with my separated spouse only through TalkingParents all games and name calling and bitter attitudes stopped in a day. Communication improved and we accomplished in a week agreements it had taken over a year and a half to make. Fewer conversions are necessary now and the free exchange of children is happening. We are working on a joint settlement custody agreement and no one is seeking an advantage now. The agreement is nearly ready to submit to court. While we have not said it aloud, I mused that if things go this well should we even divorce? I almost started communicating again through text messages but I resisted it and continue only through the TalkingParents app because it keeps us honest and respectful knowing the courts will have full access to our conversations and we don’t want to appear petty.

Aggravating!!!

we have been using this app since February 2019. In the beginning it was fine and we had no issues. But when they changed it from being $4.99 a month for the basic (which included app access) to being $5.99-$9.99 to have app access, we have had a problem EVERY month! We get charged the subscription and then 2-3 days later we get kicked out of the app and told we don’t have app access with our plan, it take 2 days to get anyone to email us back, after they review our bank charges, we get app access back. Then the next month SAME DANG THING! So frustrated with it, makes me wish I hadn’t requested the judge to order this as the only means of communication. My attorney had recommended we use this app because the other party liked to lie and say she didn’t send stuff, even though I still had the text. Or she would call 15-20 times a day and say nothing, deny it was her but the phone records proved it was them. It’s a big mess but sometimes I would rather deal with that than to keep paying for something that keeps messing up.

Amazing!!!

Love being able to have a conversation with my ex and be able to have proof of what all was said to where it is not only easily accessible, but also admissible in court. Love the fact that none of the messages can be deleted or edited. It time stamps when you or they posted comments then time stamps when the other read it. So there is no saying that you never told me this or I never got that message. The calendar is amazing also. Not only to be able to keep up with appointments for the kids, but it time stamps everything as well. So now when my ex adds that doctors appt the night before I can now provide proof that they aren’t giving me enough heads up to be able to attend the appt. Only thing I would change is when requesting a record, I don’t always need every single conversation. Maybe just the first and third threads that were posted in. Also the calendar you shouldn’t be able to delete events. Instead just edit them saying cancelled or something like that. I have messed with the journal part of it as of yet. But I’ve only been fully using it for a little over a week. Highly recommend this for anyone who has gone through separation that involves children. Just so that you can always protect yourself.

Worth it

UPDATE: Sign up was super glitchy and messed up on my iPad Pro, causing me to have to change my password and head in for another round of glitches, leaving me locked out but not telling me so. I gave up for several days in frustration and tried other apps, but found them disappointing. Finally came back to this one, and haven’t had a problem since. Developer super sweet and responsive, I just can’t remember enough details to help them.App is expensive, but worth it. Something about the structure is making my conversations with my ex much better. I did specifically ask him to be kind and friendly on the app, as it can lead to sort of cold and functional responses - but cold and functional would be a dream compared to the situations some people are in.

Great app

I wish there was a way to limit the use of the person by telephone number instead of email. My sons father let his girlfriend download the app on her cellphone and now they both harass me. I never know who I’m talking to. Some days it’s her and some days it’s him. But they are both always attacking me. It’s mentally exhausting. I’ve stopped checking my messages, and he’s accused me with the court of ignoring him. So now that I have proof that the girlfriend has the app on her phone, I’ve notified the court so they know why I’ve chosen to ignore their constant harassment and why I’ve chosen my mental health over their constant arguments and fights with me. I don’t know what to do now as far as communication goes since I cannot tell who is reaching out to me. I get anxiety attacks just seeing the notifications. Amazing that people can find anything to use as a weapon to harass and disturb your mental health. Until there’s a way for the girlfriend to be blocked, I will not be using any of these apps but this app was great and I have nothing but great things to say about it. So thank you to the developers. Hope you can fix it to make it be allowed one phone number downloadable rather than email. Thank you

Unfair pricing for non-custodial parent

Unfair pricing for the non custodial parent who must pay premium to initiate calls. The custodial parent can get away with paying $15 less by asking the non custodial parent to call back to avoid having to initiate calls. Then custodial parent opts not to call the kids during the few days (maybe a weekend) they are with other parent. Please revise your costs so that it’s equal for both parents (and $25 for both parents is excessive). I will be asking my attorney to request this app dropped simply because of cost. Department of Children and families should create an app if we are gonna be charged these ridiculous prices as they have a payment system. Then on top of that they are limited to 120 minutes. So if the parent goes over those minutes they have to pay more. Calls over the internet, really? Are we back in 1998 buying minutes? Not even Netflix $9.99.
