JoyTablet Subscription

This article explains how the JoyTablet subscription works, what is included, and how billing is handled.

JoyTablet Subscription

JoyTablet requires an active subscription to use. New subscribers receive a 14-day free trial. After the trial ends, the subscription is $9.99 per month unless it is canceled before the trial period ends.

How the Subscription Works

The JoyTablet subscription is purchased and managed through the ONSCREEN Family app by the caregiver. Subscription options are not managed directly from the JoyTablet app on the tablet.

New subscribers receive a 14-day free trial. After the trial period, billing continues monthly at $9.99 per month.

You may be prompted to start your subscription when you first try to use JoyTablet or one of its connected caregiver features.

What’s Included

The JoyTablet subscription gives caregivers and family members access to the features designed to help support, communicate with, and care for a loved one using the tablet.

For Caregivers

With JoyTablet, caregivers can:

  • Send text messages and pictures to the tablet

  • Set reminders for the person using the tablet

  • Start video calls from the ONSCREEN Family app

  • Use auto-answer video calling, so the tablet can answer without the loved one needing to press anything

  • Set up routines to help keep a loved one on a healthy schedule

  • Create video check-in routines

  • Invite family members and other trusted contacts

  • Help the tablet display useful information, reminders, messages, and photos

For Family Contacts

Family contacts can use JoyTablet-connected features to:

  • Send messages and pictures

  • Stay connected with their loved one

  • Participate in communication and care features when invited by the caregiver

On the Tablet

JoyTablet helps turn the tablet into an easy-to-use communication and care device. Depending on your setup, the tablet can:

  • Display incoming messages

  • Show reminders

  • Act as a digital picture frame

  • Receive video calls

  • Join supported video experiences

  • Support routines and check-ins created by the caregiver

Video Calling and Auto-Answer

One of the most helpful JoyTablet features is video calling with auto-answer.

A caregiver can start a video call from the ONSCREEN Family app, and the tablet can answer automatically. This makes it easier to connect with a loved one who may have difficulty using a phone, tapping buttons, or navigating an app.

Routines and Check-Ins

Caregivers can create routines to help support daily structure. These may include reminders, check-ins, and other scheduled prompts designed to help a loved one stay engaged and on track.

Video check-in routines provide an added layer of connection by allowing caregivers to schedule video-based interactions.

New subscribers receive a 14-day free trial. After the trial, the subscription is $9.99 per month.

Managing or Canceling Your Subscription

Your subscription is managed through Apple or Google, depending on where you started the subscription.

You can manage or cancel your subscription from your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings. If you cancel during the 14-day free trial, you will not be charged.

If you cancel after billing has started, your subscription features will usually remain active until the end of the current billing period.
