Ratings and reviews

The app is counterintuitive, but mostly works as intended... my current problem with it is that it runs on my Pixel 6a but reports that it's not compatible with my "new" Pixel 9 (a phone that's already two years old). So I'm stuck keeping my old phone around, otherwise this little GPS brick is exactly that. All you have to do is build the same code against a new target SDK version, guys, it's not rocket science.

bot itself and app is good . but I think it needs one important thing, loud buzzing button to find it when it's lost. it is somewhere in my apartment. but it is so small but we cannot find it for 3 days. I cannot hear that sound of the message coming. so I think it really needs " find me " button f parents. It will be also handy if you are in a shopping mall or loud place and you need to locate where your kid is standing

This one works perfectly, very basic and it does what it says - location + two way communication is fun. Brilliant that this app has English option (something lacking in other apps in Japan). Other solutions like "Mimori" do give much more options for the same price, including safety alerting about suspicious persons in the area. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase andu daughter loves it.
