Ratings and reviews

I love that I can contact my kids without them having to have a phone. My biggest issue is that when they send me a message, I NEVER hear it come through. I've searched and can't find a way to turn up the notification volume or change the sound on my phone so that I can hear it better. If that one thing were improved, I would give this a 5 star. However, missing their messages, even when I'm consciously waiting for one, is really frustrating.

Generally good overall. However, I sometimes don't get push notifications on my Google Pixel when my son texts me, even if I have the app open. This is a scary to me. The developers really need a desktop version of the app that syncs to the mobile version. I am not able to stare at my phone when I'm at work. I would love to be able to send and receive messages, check location, etc on my computer. Having a desktop version would decrease my fears about not getting messages on my phone.

UPDATE!!! I'm leaving my original review because I think it might be helpful to new owners. BUT, since the watch updated 3 months ago I haven't had any problems with the watch. Learned to turn the watch off nightly and the tracking has been 90 percent better FIRST REVIEW: This watch is junk!!!! Have had it for not even a year and I'm asking for help with the tracking probably a million times. It gets fixed then a month later it's completely off, shows my kid all the way across town. Total bumner
