What it is, in plain words
TextingParents is a co-parenting app for two parents in two homes. Both parents use it free. It keeps messages, photos, videos, calls and video calls, a shared calendar and a Family Vault for the kids' information in one place, with a timestamped record that cannot be edited or deleted by anyone. When a lawyer, mediator or court needs proof, a parent exports a TrueCopy, their certified court record, which anyone can check at textingparents.com/verify.
