Komp Avis 

The Komp service has made such a difference to my mother over the past 3 years, enabling her to keep in contact with all her family. Prior to discovering Komp, we'd tried to get her to use WhatsApp etc on laptops and tablets, but she always struggled with it. Komp is such a brilliantly simple idea for older people unused to, or unable to use, standard technology. On the few occasions we needed support, it was prompt and helpful.

Enkel og inkluderende app som gir sosial omgang med de som ikke er rundt deg. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

KOMP har vært en viktig del i vår familie de siste 2 årene. Uten KOMP kunne vi ikke hatt daglig videokommunikasjon, delt bilder eller sendt korte beskjeder til vår mor, bestemor, tante eller søster da mobiltelefonen og nettbrett ble vanskelig for henne å håndtere. Tusen takk. Dere har beriket livet til vår eldste senior i familien. Nå vandrer den videre til neste senior :-)

Forsinket tale og avbrudd i samtalen to ganger

Helt enkelt å komme igang. Fin bilde kvalitet. Så dette ser ut til å passe godt for kommunikasjon med oss alle. Håper på at vi får brukere som passer på å ta kontakt også i framtiden.

Vi har inngått avtale m Komp om at vi ikke skal betale for familiemedlemmer som inngår. Men stadig får vi beskjed om at nå opphører gratistjenester osv. veldig irriterende og ikke tillitsvekkende at de ikke kan holde seg til inngått avtale!

Loved the Komp! We got it for my father. It was a joy to get all the pics from members of the family I'm not immediately connected with. Easy to set up, easy to use - just one on / off / volume button. Sadly, this proved too much for my father! He would switch it off and not switch it back on (you can set times for it to come on and off). Didn't work for him, though we loved the concept and the Komp team. V efficient. I miss seeing everyone's pics! Maybe I'll get one for myself soon!

My family have used KOMP now for a couple of months. We are a distributed family with members living in Australia, the USA and the UK. The ability to easily connect to Mother, who is 87 and still very active and capable but finds technology increasingly difficult, via no touch video is enabling us to increase meaningful contact. My Mother appreciates all the photos being shared on a regular basis. I can see this being an increasingly critical communications tool as her age progresses.

Komp is expensive and comes with poor technology. The app is extremely bad and slow in many ways. All family members can see all pictures that everybody else sends to grandma, which basically results in people not wanting to share as many pictures. If you want access to send private messages you will have to pay more. She is not able to respond to messages nor to call family members. When we call her, there is no way for her to chose if she wants to pick up or not, the Komp just starts the call automatically with live recording from her living room, even when she’s not at home. After a couple of months she is so tired of it, she has almost stopped using it. Would never buy it again.

Made communication so much easier and much richer than just phoning my elderly mother, who lives on her own and is not technically minded. Now that we no longer need it, the process for returning the kit and cancelling the subscription was quick and easy.

What a Kon - Komp adds app subscriptions

Komp has put basic app functionality, such as multiple photo uploads, behind a paywall. They're trying to charge EVERY family member with an individual subscription to do the basic things with the app. I recognise that hardware firms can't just make a good product these days but instead live or die by convincing people to sign up for a subscription (even Apple do this). However, the way Komp has chosen to do it, with basic functions requiring a subscription is simply way too greedy.

The Komp portal was an amazing resource for mum and her family, particularly during lockdown as she was in a care home. It is simple to set up and use and a great comfort to us all that we could ‘pop in’ any time and say hi. And throughout the day mum had a slideshow of favourite pics to keep her feeling connected. As she suffered from Alzheimer’s Komp was ideal because she did not have to do anything to log in etc. it was all done from our end. Totally recommended by all the family.

I’d driven 200 miles to give this to my Mum for her 96th birthday. I’d set it up, invited all her loved ones and loaded it with photo’s and messages beforehand. However, at my Mum’s I couldn’t get it to work using the 4G. I contacted the help team in desperation and they were brilliant…within an hour it was fully operational. My Mum loves it, getting calls from her grandchildren will be the icing on the cake. Thank you Lizette from support team!

Kunne ikke hatt større hjelpemiddel i korona-helvete.

Helt fantastisk maskin. Litt frossent bilde men alt i alt fører det folk nærmere

Svært hyggelig for eldre å se hva barnlig barnebarn gjør. Dele bilder gir gode minner og øker følelse av tilstedeværelse og felleskap i storfamilien.

Fint når det fungerer, men det er ute av funksjon veldig ofte. Null hjelp og få - som nytter hvertfall.

Komp was invaluable to all of us in looking after this elderly person. He took to it very quickly and found it easy to use despite having advanced dementia (10 years post diagnosis). As his short term memory deteriorated profoundly, we found the messaging option particularly useful for reminders of things happening on that day, as long as we remembered to remove the message at the end of the day! We had a couple of tech glitches and the unit had eventually to be replaced - throughout this, support both in England and Norway was first class and I don't think they could have done better. Thank you for a fantastic idea and a well-made, well-supported product.
