Sentiment Scanner + Writing Assist: Scan messages for sentiment before you send them to understand how your words may come across. Rewrite messages using professionally developed communication methods designed to reduce tension and minimize conflict.
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 three different plans—Essentials, Enhanced, or Ultimate.

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 an 8% discount.
Can my account be deleted?

If I could give this app zero stars, I would. I purchased the app in order to co- parent however my coparent decided they did not want to proceed and therefore tried to cancel and get refunded within the two days of purchase, but it is against their policy and therefore I’m out of pocket 500 Canadian. So don’t waste your time or your money on this app.
Developer Response
We're sorry to hear about your experience, and we understand how frustrating it can be to purchase a subscription only to have your co-parent decide not to participate.We recognize that getting both parents on board can be challenging, which is why we offer several ways for families to get started without a significant upfront commitment. Annual subscriptions are optional, and we offer flexible monthly plans. Eligible Enhanced and Ultimate monthly subscriptions also include a 30-day free trial, giving parents an opportunity to explore TalkingParents before deciding whether to continue with a paid subscription.We also know that cost and willingness to participate can present different challenges. Parents have the option to pay for their co-parent's subscription, and qualifying individuals experiencing financial hardship or domestic violence may be eligible for a fee waiver. For families navigating participation challenges, we also provide sample court-order language on our Resources for Legal Professionals page for those considering incorporating TalkingParents into their parenting plan.We encourage parents to explore these options on our website and Help Center to find the approach that best fits their circumstances. If there are extenuating circumstances surrounding your purchase, please contact our team directly at support@talkingparents.com.

Why would I pay to talk to my ex when a free app and taking screenshots is free?
