Review summary

TalkingParents: Co-Parent App offers a secure platform for co-parent communication with useful features like message tracking and video recording. However, multiple users report significant issues including frequent app crashes, unreliable calling/audio functions, forced repeated logins without proper biometric support, and disruptive update changes. Customer support is lacking and the app misses key features such as recurring calendar events and message management. Pricing is high given the frequent technical problems and limited functionality, impacting the app's overall usability and satisfaction among users.

Pros

App provides a secure communication platform for co-parents with features like message read receipts and video recording.
The app keeps accurate records of messages and calls, which is important for co-parenting documentation.
Video call recordings and transcripts are useful features when they function correctly.
The app offers a calendar feature to help manage custody and visitation schedules.
Some users find the app's messaging feature satisfactory for basic communication needs.

Cons

Frequent app crashes, freezes, and random sign-outs disrupt communication and user experience.
Audio and calling features are unreliable, with issues such as calls not connecting properly, numbers not showing correctly, and Bluetooth audio problems.
The app forcefully requires frequent re-login with no proper biometric or easier authentication options.
Recent updates often cause compatibility and functionality issues, including the app not supporting certain phones and problems loading messages or transcripts.
Customer support is poor or unresponsive, with no direct phone support and inadequate responses to technical issues.
The app layout updates and features like "view full message" clicks disrupt usability for many users.
Basic features like recurring calendar events, message deletion or revision, and syncing with device calendars are missing or limited.
Subscription pricing has increased, with key features locked behind higher tiers, making it expensive relative to functionality.

2026-06-30	Jo*****	I absolutely loved TalkingParents until the free version went away. I pay every year for my subscription but my coparent isn't as consistent. We are required by court to use TalkingParents, so now I am unable to communicate with him at all. It's kinda BS that I am stuck paying and can't even communicate with him when I am legally required to.

2026-06-30	Ro*****	updated/ 6/29/2026 Another increase for no reason? nothing added, no improvements nothing to justify the increase. This app is not worth the money. Never thought this app was worth the $5 a month but was forced to have it from court. No it's $25 just to have access to the app. Absolutely garbage
