Ratings and reviews

The app doesn't notify me about messages from my kid, so I have to open up the app to see messages. The location tracking always shows the last place the watch was when first opened, so when I open the app it will show where the watch was yesterday while it takes a minute or two to find its new location. Why not just say "location tracking, please wait" or something, instead of saying that your kid is somewhere they're not? Super confusing. Also the app frequently signs me out.

If my message does not go through because my child's device doesn't have good service, the app does not notify me. Pretty bad for a system where one entity designs both the sending and receiving end. It would not be a significant effort to put an ACK in the loop. There are other small annoyances like the app being slow to load, but this is the most significant.

love this for my elementary & middle school kids! allows for several parent approved phone numbers. easy tracking. wish there was a way to turn on remotely when when the watch is off, as we have misplaced a watch and cannot locate it. service can be glitchy at times. sometimes watch is on but calls will not go through - rarely but happens. mostly wonderful using and easy for kids to use as well.
