  • Generally good. Messaging is buggy

    The core functions of tracking and notifications are great. We like to use the message feature. Bug however is that anytime I record or receive and audio message I can listen to or record another unless I restart the app. Not a deal breaker just an annoying bug.
  • Time updates are wrong

    The current system takes about 5 to 10 minutes to send updates to a parent's phone when their child leaves home. Improving the timing of this notification process would greatly enhance parental awareness and reassurance regarding their child's safety and mobility. By providing more immediate updates, parents can stay connected and have peace of mind about their child's whereabouts.
  • Waste of money

  • Terrible for sleep tracking

    If watch sitting still not in child (eg while child bathing) it may start sleep cycle and think child is sleeping even 1.5-2 hours before scheduled bed time. When child wakes at night and takes more than a minute to go back to sleep- it does not capture time after first wake up. There is an option to manually enter or correct sleep and wake for a given night but it doesn’t work. I have tried updating, reinstalling etc. Very disappointed.

    This is a great watch for my 10 yr old. I’m able to see where she is with location services. She can also message me if she needs. She seems to like the chore tracking. Only thing I wish, is that she was able to call me!
