Komp Reviews 343

Superb bit of kit. Allowed us to communicate easily with parent in nursing home. Recommend to anyone with someone who cannot operate hi-tech . It is so easy.

Used it before covid, about 5 years.

We got the KOMP for my mum during the pandemic. The simplicity of the controls - just an on/off button and a volume control to manage - was crucial. And it really kept her going through all the lockdowns - video chats were so much better than phone calls. And the photos we posted were a constant source of pleasure for her. She took it with her when she moved into residential care after the pandemic and wouldn't have been without it. It's made such a difference.

My father had dementia and suddenly forgot who was who
Family kept sending pics and chatting to him on the Komp
It was wonderful for him
Especially tye great grandchildren who grew and change so quickly
Well done Komp

Hopefully this is a balanced review. The first Komp we received did not work and it took a few days of phone calls with Komp to get confirmation from their end that we were not doing something wrong and that the device was broken. Nina was patient but understandably couldn't just take my word that the unit was not working. Thereafter they replaced it and the new one worked ok. That all took about 2 weeks to sort out.
We got the Komp installed in my Father's care home, although discovered their WiFi was not working, but the Komp worked ok over the 4G network. Unfortunately, my father, who has dementia and is a 'technophobe' couldn't get on with it because he didn't understand how it worked and was frustrated by not "being in control" of it. This is a real shame because we set-up several family members in the group and sent him regular photos and text messages, as well as video calls. Sadly he actually found this to be unsettling. We persevered with it for over a month but it came to a head on day when he got frustrated about some photos his Grandson has posted, saying he didn't know why he was being sent them and that it bothered him that he didn't understand how they got there or that he couldn't reply. Sadly, this is the depressing reality of dementia ...
Overall, I'd say it is a great bit of technology and it was a pity my Dad didn't take to it. In our case the 3-month trial has proved to be a blessing and we have returned the Komp for a full refund without a problem.

The Komp video call and scrolling photo screen was a godsend for my elderly mother to stay in touch with family and friends during the years of lockdown and after when she moved into a care home. She hugely enjoyed uploaded photos and the video call facility required no effort on her part to receive incoming calls.

Dealing with the company at different times for a replacement unit, technical queries and then returning the unit was simple and efficient.

This simple device became a lifeline for my elderly Mum during the first periods of lockdown in 2020, enabling her to 'see' her family, and for us to see her. She often felt we were actually in her living room with her! Once the Covid lockdowns were over she didn't want to stop using Komp. It is a brilliant product, easy to use and customer service is excellent. It should be a standard product that every family knows about if they have an elderly relative, it really does reduce the isolation and loneliness.

A fantastic product which really has been so beneficial to my Mum particularly during Covid. It’s very simple to use and the screen is huge so it’s easy to see pictures and video.

I purchased this device two years ago just before my Dad went into care. He will be 92 next month and he loves it. Whilst in care he was locked in on a number of occasions due to Covid and the Komp allowed us to call him twice a day to keep him up to date. The scrolling photos with captions has helped him to remember who people are which is so important. The controls are simple the sleep function really useful and staff are always on hand on the couple of occasions we have had issues. If you have a senior relative, I recommend this device 100%

We are all fans of KOMP during the last 4 years. It has brought us all together at some trying times. “To KOMP”, “Have you Komped” , “did you see that on KOMP” and “it’s a Komping opportunity- (as you photograph something to share with Grandad) “ are all well known phrases we use in the family. Excellent, swift and professional support service. We’d highly recommend.

This system is amazing!
We can all video all Mum now and send her photos she loves it :)

Great unit to help people stay in contact. Very easy to use, it allows you to receive photos, messages and video calls with one simple twist of a knob.

Customer service is very good, quick to reply and resolve any issues. Definitely recommend.

A very helpful way of communicating with frail or disabled people. They can be completely passive yet friends and relatives can make a video call from their own smartphone, upload family photos or send visual messages. My family found it very useful to keep in regular contact with my 101yr old mother even though they were in different parts of the country.

This has been wonderful for my 93 year old Mother and her family. It’s kept her in touch with all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She’s loved the photos and messages and video chats. It’s also kept all of us in touch far more as we see all the photos too. Such a wonderful creation. Sadly mum passed away just before Christmas so it is with real sadness that we say goodbye to her Komp connection too.

Komp is an amazing tool. I used it with my mother in a nursing home. Her physical disabilities meant that she couldn’t turn pages in magazine or newspapers, or reach for a diary, so I would send her daily messages of what activities were scheduled or what was on the TV. It was even better when they introduced the scheduling function so I could put a week of information in at a time. The next best thing they could offer is the ability to edit the text in a message once you’ve scheduled it as currently if you need to update the information you need to delete it and write a new message instead of just editing it.

If I could give more stars I would. The Komp system was exactly what we needed to keep in touch with my mum and keep her in touch with us using video calls, messages, reminders and pictures of everyday happenings, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We even "Komp'd" mum whilst on holiday in the sun. I cannot thank the Komp team enough for the support they give and for developing this technology. Very reasonably priced and worth every penny. I would (and have) highly recommend Komp to anyone who wants to easily, with no fuss, keep in touch with those who struggle with conventional tech - plug it in, leave it and use it ... BRILLIANT
Thank you to all at Komp.

Great piece of equipment for anybody that is isolated from family and friends. My Mother had this for 4 years before she passed away. It kept her close to all of her children, Grandchildren and even great grandchildren. She was able to see photos of them as well as have live calls with them. Even her friends in Holland were able to video call her. During Covid pandemic it came into its own as nobody could visit except her care team. With the Komp we could still virtual visit as often as we wanted to. We have recommended this to lots of other families and wouldn’t hesitate to continue to do so.

I can highly, very highly recommend this Komp facility to any person, young or old or in-between. Not only does it keep you in touch with family and friends, but it's a real experience of feeling close and involved with whoever you choose to be a participant on this KOMP.
not feeling isolated has such a positive effect on your mood, physical and mental well-being.
It's so simple to use. No IT skills needed. My aged father has never regretted purchasing this 'One-button computer'
He takes it to the care home when in respite care, so always is connected with his family.
I would say...stay in-the-loop and be happy!!

A lifeline for our disabled relative. It's part of our daily lives and we couldn't be without it. The whole family can use it. The app is easy to use and we send pictures and messages all the time.

The Komp that this company make is a great help to the elderly and those suffering with dementia. It requires no physical effort as it counts down(10secs) then answers automatically.
The customer service is outstanding (yes I've had a couple of problems but got them sorted) and they certainly know what a huge difference it makes to families living away from their loved one(s) who are maybe not too with it or technically minded etc.

An amazing piece of technology. If you have an elderly relation or someone suffering from dementia who can't get to grips with mobile phone or tablets this is the answer, zero interaction required from the recipient. Through experience using this, it is actually helping my mother's dementia. Great product and a small price to pay for keeping in touch with loved ones and some peace of mind.
