Terrible
December 15, 2024

Talking Parents recently increased the monthly fee and yet the service is worse.

90% of the time I'm unable to open up a message, resulting in having to wait 1/2 day to it to work

Anytime I log on, I have to sit thru 8 talking parents advertising commercials to even access the account.

It's awful.

Waste of money
October 12, 2024

Is there any other apps that courts allow us to use?
I can't stand this app or is anyone else going to come up with a better one anytime soon.
Their customer service is horrible and careless as well. Such a waste of money.
All day long. In case of an emergency then what?

Staff is trash
July 5, 2023

Everyone who is a non custodial parent need to beware that during any slightest conflict between attorney and client, Talking Parents staff indulges alienation towards their customers. They also release your private information to their parties without notifying you.

Courts don't care!
October 9, 2021

As like many reviews that I have read this app is complete nonsense and truly does give narcissistic, sadistic, unwilling to actually co parent, parents feel as though if they send tons of irrelevant messages that the other parent will look bad. I do not open many messages from my sons dad because the title alone gives me anxiety. The courts don't care how badly you've been abused. All the courts want is for the situation to be out of their hands and to place a band aid on the case.

This app allows power hungry parents to continue to feed their sick brains. Sad. I would not recommend!

Don't Do It!
December 14, 2023

Absolutely horrible. I think they fully take advantage of a family's difficult situation to make money off you. I was using this app for my very volatile situation with my ex-husband, I had over a years worth of correspondence between us and then they pulled my account from me until I upgraded!
I obviously was forced to upgrade in order to get back all the evidence of the verbal abuse I put up with co-parenting with my ex.
Absolutely disgusting tactic to make money off of people in abusive terrible situations.
Don't sign up for it….there has to be better ways than this.

This saved a lot of endless emails and text and monitored the behavior of the other parent by the court. This helped save a lot of name calling and other unhealthy behavior. It did not stop it, but it did help. Best 9.99 a month I have spent in a long time

Overcharged
November 8, 2023

For several months I was double charged for a premium account. I was even charged 3 times once. I keep having to contact these jerks and every time they say to contact Apple. They won't fix the problem and they don't care. For a long time they also had the name of my co parent and I mixed up. Just awful.

This app is the same thing as texting from your phone It just they put another name on text message as all it is. All you have to do the only difference between this app and you texting from your phone straight text message is that you have to remember not to erase your text messages wow. This this app is for people who cannot remember to not get rid of stuff. And it's court ordered because I guess we're all dumbasses.

Ridiculous prices for low quality work
December 25, 2020

I ordered the premium plan for the cost of $20 try to download various things that download it 7 to 8 times each. Spent well over $200 trying on transcription and copies of records and the transcriptions are so poorly crafted they have the wrong name half the time for who is saying what and every sentence has 2 to 3 errors making it almost Unintelligible. At that price I should be able to have a human transcription other than a or what appears to be a very poorly auto texted transcription. Unfortunately will be unusable in court as it appears to be just a bunch of garbled and missed typed words very disappointed would never recommend
