About this app

Developer Description

School Communication

The TalkingPoints Teacher app helps teachers reach all family members and guardians, regardless of language, via text messages in 150+ languages. Our translation is done by a combination of human translators and machines, allowing for seamless communication with all of your families.

TalkingPoints helps teachers
• Communicate with non-English speaking family members through automatic 2-way translation
• Quickly send messages to one family member, a group of family members or to the whole class
• Keep their cell phone numbers private by sending text messages through the app
• Attach pictures, videos, polls, and files to text messages to share what students are learning in school
• Preschedule messages to go out when families are available to read them

“Teachers have busy schedules and don’t have a lot of time to learn how to use a new tool, but what I want other educators to know is how easy it is to communicate with parents through TalkingPoints. I love it and use it everyday!” - Ms. Cardenas, ESL teacher

TalkingPoints is free for teachers in the U.S. Sign up today!

The app was not working so I left a message here earlier. I received a message about how to fix the problem from the app owner within an hour, and I can use it again. Best app and they work extremely efficient! I'm very impressed! I would give it a 6-star rating if I could. Thank you for such a wonderful app and effective supports! You guys rock!

I figured out that you can send PDFs using this app from the computer. My favorite thing so far is that parents don't have to sign up or download anything for this to work just like regular text messages. I just make sure to tell them it's really me (even though they can't call; it's just text). I also like the option of pressing "send" once and it goes to everyone I choose. It offers a lot for a free app and I'm sure it'll get better with the technology world thriving nowadays.

The app was working great on my previous phone. When I got my new phone and apps were transferred over automatically, it stopped working. I reached out and after a few days of back and forth support I had a zoom meeting with 3 people from talking points. Together they were able to figure out the issue and are now working on a broader fix so others hopefully don't run into this same frustrating issue.

This app is not nearly as useful as Remind - which does similar things. Two things that bug me about this app: (1). When you get a message, it doesn't include the parent's name with the message. You only see "parent" or "mother" or "father." So you can't reply with a personal greeting. (2). In the app, you can see notifications that you HAVE a message, but you can't easily SEE the message. You oftentimes have to scroll through your entire class to find the new message.

UPDATE: I fixed the issue myself. For some reason the permissions were automatically turned off after updating. You need to turn them back on in order for the app to work. Was fine now I only get a white screen. I have reached out to customer support and was only told it would get forwarded to texh support. I will be forced to cancel this app for my classroom.
