TextingParents is a co-parenting video call app as well as a message thread. Co-parenting calls happen inside the app, so neither parent needs the other one's phone number, and every call is logged for both of you.
Once a number is out, it is out. It gets blocked, it gets changed, it gets used at midnight. And a phone call leaves nothing behind except two people's memories of it, which is exactly the thing you are trying to stop arguing about.
Calls here run between the two accounts. Neither parent needs the other one's number. Nothing gets lost to a blocked contact, and when the call ends, the log is already written on both phones: who called, when, and how long it lasted.
You can call your kids at the other house the same way, so a bedtime call does not have to go through the other parent's phone.
Conversations stay private unless both parents agree to record. Nobody is recorded without knowing it.
Who called, when, and for how long. The same log is on both phones, so there is one version of it.
Missed and declined calls are kept too. A pattern of unanswered calls shows up on its own.
No court approves an app, and we are not going to tell you one approved ours. Here is the narrower, more useful truth: the call log is timestamped and cannot be edited or deleted by either parent, and it sits in the same record as the messages, the photos and the schedule changes.
When a hearing needs it, one tap turns that history into a TrueCopy, your certified court record: a PDF of the whole thread in order, with the calls in it.
One parent can pay and it covers both of you. There is a 7-day free trial of Premium with no credit card. Full detail on the pricing page.
