About this app

ELARI SafeFamily is a universal parent application for the ELARI children's ecosystem. The application controls ELARI Smart Kid’s watches-phones, as well as the KidGram child's messenger compatible with Telegram, which is available on 4G models of ELARI watches and (soon!) as a separate application for smartphones and tablets.
What is Kidgram?
KidGram is a very important service for loving and caring parents.
This is the messenger that gives children access to content and the ability to communicate on Telegram with your approval.
In KidGram, a child can communicate only with those contacts and subscribe only to those channels that are allowed by adults. Realizing that loving parents, if they wish, will be able to watch any chat.
Friendly interface, high ease of use, ELARI online support via chat within the application or by phone - all this makes taking care of those you care about a simple task!

By connecting the ELARI Kid's watch-phone to the free ELARI SafeFamily application, you can:
• Customize contact list on Kid’s watch
• Track your child's location with the watch
• Set the frequency of updating the geolocation
• Remotely set alarms
• Remotely receive a record of the situation around the watch
• Set permitted geofences – a virtual area that is indicated around the child's usual locations: school, home and etc. If the child is outside the specified area, you will receive a notification
• Invite family and friends to track the location of the child communicate with child
• Receive SOS alerts from the watch in case of emergency: along with the alert, you'll receive your child's location, as well as an audio recording from the watch's microphone.

The ELARI SafeFamily application allows you to manage the KidGram messenger on flagship models of ELARI watches (and on any smartphone or tablet soon). All the functions are available to you in the free BETA version:
• Be a friend and mentor to your child! The KidGram service will allow you to communicate with your child through your Telegram account and share good content with him, including links to groups, Telegram channels and specific YouTube videos.
• Control children's communication and content. Through the ELARI SafeFamily application, you choose and always see the list of contacts, groups and channels to which the child has access, as well as message statistics for the period. Links to web pages will be inactive, so the child will not be able to go to a questionable site
• Disable or allow searches for contacts and content. Through the ELARI SafeFamily application, you can enable or disable the search for new channels or contacts from the Telegram world. But even if the search is allowed, the child will not be able to add a new contact or watch / subscribe to the channel without your approval.

Ratings and reviews

Very powerful smartwatch-based cellphone/GPS tracker for kids... something that even adult smart don't even have. It would be good if the interface and app were reviewed by am English-speaking person as there are a lot of spelling errors. The Wi-Fi system is hard to setup. The menus on the phone could be better designed...the app should give more control on customization of the watch interface. Overall great watch and well-intentioned app but needs cleaning up.

After three days of usage verdict - getting worse every next day. 1. "Take of from hand" watch sensor most of time it does nothing and not detect watch removal at all, and these few times, when I got warning, watch was either on the hand or was laying on the table for long time already; 2. Voice messages sending fails most of the time; 3. Safe zone solution is slow - warning delays and kid is already ~5 km away from outer line when you notice event. 4. App keeps repeatedly spamming messages from previous day events, and prevents to delete some of these messages with popup "unauthorized". 5. When in the app interface I tried to respond to the SOS or safezone location exit message, it does not shows child location on the full map and you must return to home screen with this tiny map window. 6. GPS/GSM location is extremely incorrect (0,5-3 km error). 7. History shows non visited places on the map. 8. Listen function fails to connect and ends with "Watch will call number soon" and nothing.

Features are good, it's easy to change watch settings and send/receive messages, but location handling is extremely unreliable. Often I click on a 'reported position data' notification and the app opens a map of the country but doesn't include the watch's reported position. The location info on the main page is even worse - it hasn't updated in over a week although history shows a lot of movement. Fortunately, Settings->History will display location data.
