About this app

Pingo is a companion app to the Findmykids location tracker, our app for parents. It was developed for location tracking of children. Please only install this location tracker app on a device used by a child or teenager.
We recommend you start by downloading the Findmykids parent tracker app on your phone. After that, install the Pingo GPS location tracker on your child's device and enter the code from the Findmykids app you received when you signed up.
Done! Now you can use kids GPS tracker!

OUR KEY FEATURES:

Kids GPS tracker – see your child's location on the map and the history of the day's activity - an online location diary. Make sure that your child does not go to dangerous places with our locator. You can also get your child a kid smart watch and connect it to the Pingo app.
Sound around – listen to what's going on around your child with the help of our location tracker to make sure they're okay. This feature works only if the child tracker is installed and set up on their phone.
Loud signal – send a loud signal to your child's phone where the child tracker is installed if they have left it in their backpack or on silent mode and can't hear the call. If they lose kid smart watch, you can also find them with the help of our GPS watch tracking app.
Screen time manager – find out what apps they used at school, and whether they played in class instead of learning. Pingo kids GPS tracker can be used instead of any parental control apps.
Notifications – make sure your child is on time for school: get notifications when they get to school, back home, and other places you've created. Our parent tracker app will send you a notification.
Battery control – remind your child to charge the phone on time: you will be notified if the battery is about to run out. The feature also works with kid smart watch and GPS watch tracking app
Family chat – chat with your child in the chat room with fun stickers and send voice messages in the child tracker app

You can see your child's online location for free once the devices are connected. Other features in the free version (like parental control app for child phone) are available with restrictions. To use all the features of the app, you should buy a subscription.

If your child doesn't have a phone, you can buy a kid smart watch and connect them to our GPS watch tracking app.

GPS family tracker asks for the following permissions:
– access to the camera and photos – to install the child's avatar;
– access to contacts – to fill in the phone book in the GPS watch;
– access to a microphone – to send voice messages in the chat;
– accessibility services - to limit time at the smartphone screen.

Ratings and reviews

The app is severely broken and malfunctions at every chance it gets. It'll drain battery several times more quickly when working, and then, when the battery goes below ~50%, it'll shut itself down. A ping sent now could go off now, or in five hours, or any random time between and after, it's purpose is to track locations and stalk, the first being better met by almost every single other app that asks for location settings, and the second not functioning at all on its own in the app.

Useless and annoying. Doesn't have settings for or even work properly on tablets without sim cards. Hope the developer realizes that there is technology called wifi internet connection and that there are other technologies called smart devices that are connected to the internet and need to be tracked and don’t use cellular network connections! Your app is very annoying and no way to set up on the tablet and get red of the "your device isn't setup properly " popup message

Horrible app!! When I first got it, it worked ok. Now, I've been having nothing but problems with this app. It's constantly telling me to set up my child's phone when it's already set up, no longer tracks my children's location. In fact, my children are in school now, and it's telling me they're at home. The sound works fine, but that's basically about it. I'm paying for the subscription, and can't even get in contact with a live person to help troubleshoot the issues I'm having. What a joke!

What's new

Hear that? How could you not? It's like there's a little ringing sound. Ding-ding. Yep, it's the reminder bell, telling you it's time to update the Pingo app!
