Together Reviews

Too much money, it should only be half the price for all 3 options. I believe if your prices were reasonable you would be able to get so many customers. Lots of people cannot afford such high prices. You have to realize you are not the only app out there so there are more options and if you don’t make it reasonable and affordable you risk losing customers. As of now, I am not willing to pay that price at all.

There is a app called Bunch and it gives a ton more options and games as well. No one has to settle for big prices.

I downloaded Together on my phone as well as on my son’s iPad. After I configured my account, I tried configuring a child’s account but kept being told that the email address was already in use although Together asks for my name, my child’s name and my email address. I could not find any other directions on setting up his account so I created a separate account using his email address but now the s
6-month subscription that I purchased is not linked to his email address and I don’t want purchase another. Additionally, I can call him from my phone using Together but I cannot get the sound to work. I have checked all the settings and voice and video are both enabled.
I think it’s a great concept if it worked but After several hours of trying to get it to work...I just want a refund!!

My five year old grandson and I have been having so much fun playing on this app until the last two days when it has been stuttering and freezing intermittently making it impossible to complete games and have a coherent chat. I don’t know if that has something to do with my internet, which is working fine with FaceTime, or if the program is getting overloaded with users. If the latter, I hope they can fix it so we can all continue to keep having fun with it uninterrupted. Great when it works!

Together experience is great, and my daughter really enjoys the games and activities. However, the 30min trial calls have ran my battery very low each time from full charge, and my iPhone (SE 2) gets very hot. This happens on the other phone I called too, with both of our phones unplugged during the call.

I do not have an iPad to compare battery performance (perhaps Together runs fine on a device with a better battery and power system), but until Together can run without making my phone hot to the touch, I cannot commit to a subscription.

Tried Together out with a few family members (we live in different countries with young children). In theory it was great - the kids were really engaged and enjoyed it. Unfortunately when we looked in to purchasing a subscription the price had gone up and it’s only for 20 hours for both incoming and outgoing calls which is a bit opportunistic, especially considering the current world situation and with occasional quality lags/sudden app closure. A 20 hour limit was already a bit mean for the monthly fee but we probably would’ve gone for it even with the issues if we weren’t losing hours both ways with calls. Shame to see this approach from the developers and seems a lost opportunity to build up users (the double charge approach lost them five new subscribers in my family alone).

My 6 year old granddaughter and I play on this a few times a week! So many fun games to keeps her engaged ! Very user friendly, as she navigates her way on her own, which gives her family a break!! She and I both enjoy our quality time with each other using Together! What a fun way to stay connected when we don’t live close by! 👍🏼sometimes the screen freezes not sure who’s end its on

Edit: I’m updating my review based on the developer comments. My 5 year old uses Together with various family members usually once a day. The games are simple enough for her but engaging enough for grownups. There is a huge selection of books available to read this app. I’ve added our own books too, and the interface for doing that is intuitive.

This has been a really great app to have while we are socially isolating when I need a few minutes alone, or to care for the baby, or when my daughter needs another person to talk to. And likewise, grandparents need someone to talk to too.

Original:
I thought subscribing would give us unlimited phone calls, but instead it’s only 20 hours. There’s no indication in Together how far into the 20 hours you are. And it prompted my mother in law to subscribe even though the 20 hours is incoming and outgoing calls so it was not necessary and they are double dipping. Too bad I already paid for a year.

Even though we haven’t seen our grandchildren in 5months we can still interact with them on this wonderful app. “this app.” Our little ones learn so much by cooperating and taking turns during the games. We look forward to more game time with our family.

This is exactly what we were looking to find—a way for our 4 year old to play games with his grandparents during quarantine. He loves it and the grandparents figured it out easily as well!! Just wish there were some more educational games (math, etc) but the strategy games are great!!

Fabulous app! Our grandchildren love it and so do we. It is so well done and so user friendly. Lots of variety and new games and activities are added often. It has been a wonderful and special way to maintain a close connection when you cannot be this app in person. Love it!!

OMG this is the most awesome app I’ve ever seen in my life! You guys gotta keep making some more games is so awesome my favorite game is playing the cards and shoots and ladders and just too much to explain! Please keep doing your hard work and awesome stuff you are the most awesome is people I’ve seen… I can forever thank you again!

Together is so great. We have two sets of grandkids that live out of state and it helps us to interact with them and entertain them for large chunks of time which bonds us with our grandkids, but also helps the parents to have a few minutes of downtime from toddlers. I love love love Together. The only downside is sometimes it’s glitchy, but I’m sure they can fix that overtime.!!

We love Together. It’s great for reading books with our little granddaughters and they love the games too! Together gives their parents a bit of break when the kids engaged in this app time with us! It’s fun to see the kids’ smiling faces and hear them laugh when we’re playing checkers or reading storybooks. This is fantastic!

Can’t work out some of the control mechanisms,plus,both of a game don’t see the same thing ( which is difficult to explain to a 4 year old).The score appears differently to opposing players. Young players rely on color which is not uniform to both players.
Even with these quirks, my granddaughter really enjoys playing and it has been a boon during this “distancing” and activity limitations.

I love FaceTime with the grandkids but they only last few minutes
With Together now they want to be in it for hours. Now I am the one saying”ok! I got to now” 🤣🤣🤣 now they call us instead because they want to play
My 4yr old granddaughter love being in charged of picking the games. I never had so much fun with them and makes me not miss her so much now
Thank you so much, great job!

My grandkids are 3000 miles away and haven’t seen them for over a year. Together is the best way to connect with them and play. WE all love the “this app App” and play it whenever we can.

It’s fun, has several games /activities, NOT contagious, mobile (can play anywhere), educational, teaches patience & sportsmanship, fairness, sharing, and lots of laughing!
Feels good all around. Many thanks!

We just bought a subscription because the time passed way too quickly with my granddaughter! There are a wide variety of games to play. I can even play “adult” games with my daughter, so this will help connect us to our long distance family.

Have you thought about adding puzzles? We would love to work on puzzles this app through Together .

We have three kids. Ages 3, 5, and 8. They speak with all their grandparents much more often since we found Together. Before they would only greet them briefly. Now they draw this app. Read books and play games. My son was never interested in speaking on the phone, I’m happy I found a way for him to interact with family and friends from far away. Together is very good. My three year old learned some of the functions before I did. We love this app!

Original review: I learned about Together from our school (k-12) which has partnered high school students with our lower school students. My son in K was able to practice reading and play games with his tutor.

Update Dec 2020: it has been a few months later and I can only share good things about the this app app. It has allowed my children to connect with other family members and church friends. My kids can practice reading, drawing and playing all sorts of games.

Been a paying customer for months. Love playing with my grandson online BUT after playing for months we are getting bored with same games. There hasn’t been any new ones added. Ready to cancel subscription
