Ratings and reviews

Great idea if it actually worked. 1) The timer is glitchy. It never starts at 2 minutes. When it does it will skip from 2 minutes to 1 minutes in a second. 2) It would say she got a prize but didn't actually let her have it. 3) Bluetooth cut out middle of brushing her teeth so no credit. Would not let me go back and give credit in parent dashboard. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to maybe fix the glitches. IT LOST ALL MY HISTORY OF BOTH KIDS EVEN THOUGH I WAS LOGGED IN.

The app gets my kids excited to brush! The sparkley character is cute and the gifts earned are highly motivating. However, when they spend a night away, like grandmas house with no accessibility to my phone, their progress returns to 0! App designers...please add a feature in parental controls to override the 0 and back to their progress. They brushed their teeth at grandmas...just didn't have my phone. They are really discouraged now.

If you child doesn't brush in the morning and in the evening everyday, you lose your streak and it resets to zero. You can't sign up for an account, so if your child is brushing with more than one adult on their own devices, the parent goes out of town, they stay over at a friend's, etc, it looks like they didn't brush and they lose their streak. Or if you get a new device!! This disappoints the kids because it's impossible to ever get to a high number of data.
