Have used the app with my kids for about 2-3 weeks and has become very enjoyable as we compete in steps and active times. Being able to message them has always been reliable and the GPS was my biggest concern these days as a phone would not help if they get snatched but their GPS WILL!!!! I can live track and set boundaries in there most visited places (school, gramparents, etc) as well as notifies me when they enter and exit the places... highly recommended!!!!

The idea is great the dark screen even though you can push it&the light turns on it turns off too fast&you have to keep pushing it to keep the light on. Also it keeps unsyncing. I feel like everything on it can.Just be a little bit updated. The screen can be a little bit bigger&I think all the capabilities from the alarms for the tasks & the coins are great for the accomplished goals&the unlocking of the games from physical activity is great just a little 👌🏼 more user friendly.

This never finishes the final step of syncing to my daughter's bounce. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times and I keep getting an error message that says "we have encounteredan error. Please try again" . It's very buggy. Disappointed for the price and having to pay for the subscription. Figuring out if I am still in the return window.
