TextingParents
Read full descriptionHide full description
TextingParents is the co-parenting app that keeps a clean, tamper-evident record of everything you and your co-parent share, such as text messages, phone and video calls, pictures, and childcare swaps on the calendar. Every message is timestamped and sealed the moment it sends, so neither parent can edit or delete it later. When you need proof for a lawyer, mediator, or court, pull a TrueCopy: your certified PDF record, verifiable by anyone. Most co-parenting apps bill each parent every month. Here, texting is free for both parents, always, including a calmer way to reword a heated message before it sends, which other apps put behind a paywall. You only pay when you need a certified court record, and even then it is one flat price, not a subscription you are forced into. FREE FOR BOTH PARENTS • Unlimited texting • A calmer way to say it, suggested before you send • Unlimited high-resolution pictures • Shared custody calendar with swaps you both approve • Family Vault for what both homes need: insurance, medical, school • Every message timestamped and sealed, verifiable by anyone PREMIUM WHEN YOU NEED IT • Voice and video calls, each one logged • Unlimited TrueCopy exports, your certified PDF record • $12.99/month or $99/year, one plan for both parents On the Free plan, a one-time TrueCopy export is $39, ready the day a lawyer, mediator, or court asks for proof. Cost should never stand between you and your co-parent. That is why we built TextingParents. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
