Reviews
Could use improvement in functionality
PanamaAndy
I never posted a review before, but I’m hopeful this will show up on the Toco radar! I love the general design and layout and most of the functions. But it doesn’t feel easy to navigate as a parent with children. In order to “log in” it takes me to the log in screen with no option to “Remember Me”...I have to sign back in every time. Then it doesn’t take me to my view, it takes me to my child’s and I have to then back out to family chat. One additional thing that would be very helpful would be the availability to attach and send files such as music. Ultimately, I want to keep using it I would just like to see the layout and functionality enhanced and cleaned up a bit.
Pros and Cons
LoudHouseBriteBomber
Hi, I love this app and my parents do too. It is an amazing app and I love using it to email my friends and family! Also, it doesn’t ever bill my mom! Awesome!! Thanks! Only three issues: say one of my friends or relatives use Gmail: they can only see my email and a giant S initial. Why is this? I’d like them to see my profile picture and first name. The second issue: I have to log in every single time I open up the app. I recently read a review by Lilith Sternin and you replied to that person the possibility of Touch ID? Well for some reason I don’t get that. It might just be a problem with my server or something. The last issue: I can’t send videos. Why is this? Sometimes I like to send them like my family members can do in Gmail and Yahoo and DuckDuckGo; stuff like that. Please fix these problems and I will give it a 5 star rating! Everything else is perfect, by the way. Love it except for those three problems. Thanks for creating this wonderful app!! Edited: For some reason, it stopped working and said I didn’t have any emails, even though the day before I had probably more than 300. Please fix this! Edited again: if this ever happens, you should delete the app and download it again. It works very well. Thank you!
Very mediocre

Not much point to it as the kids find it difficult to use. I tried to cancel my subscription but it does not show up under my Apple subscriptions. Please could someone from this App enlighten me as to how I can cancel it? Thanks
AWESOME!!!!!!

I am really happy with this app, they keep making awesome updates, I have been using this app for 5+ years and haven’t had a problem. The premium features are great too!
Great app for kids email

This is a great app for kids email. I wasn't sure that I wanted my nieces to have email yet but this app lets them have the freedom of emailing and chatting with their friends and other family while letting me monitor it to make sure they stay responsible. I used the free app for a few weeks butt did upgrade to the paid subscription for the additional monitoring features. The fee is reasonable.
Poor support

I am trying to delete account. There is no link that works for app support. I haven’t found this app helpful
Perfect for kids with two homes

As a newly separated single parent with full custody, my child can safely communicate with her biological noncustodial father while I am able to screen all email content. Absolutely worth $30 for the year.
Not that easy to use

Not exactly intuitive controls for parents, but at least it’s kid-friendly.
