  • Task gone after update

    All my task are now gone after the latest update. Also the coins are now gone, which makes my kid sad. When creating new task, it says that there is another task at the same time, even though there is no task visible in the app.
  • Can’t use since the upgrade

    My son loves his Garmin bounce watch and we love the features with this app. My only complaint is that the location is sometimes moderately to wildly off (up to 2 miles). It’s a major bummer because location tracking is a big reason why we got the watch/app.
  • Great watch!

    Got this for our son who just turned 10. We love the activity & step tracker! He’s always trying to get more steps than I do. Also love the chores list. We use coins from completing chores for screen time. It’s great and he loves when he checks off his whole list! Communication piece is fantastic! Also love the location tracker. Great option for young ones!
  • Fun app

    My daughter loves it. It really motivated her to tell time, exercise, and do chores. The princess games is a lot of fun for her.
  • It’s ok

    This is from an Uncle‘s point of view. The only real feature I use is the texting and it does the job. I can understand the character limit due to having to read everything on the watch, but it’s still annoying. Also, the voice feature works, maybe 1 out of 100 times I try. My niece sends voice messages and I tried to reply with voice messages, but it never works. I’ve tried every way possible I could think of, but it’s random when it actually works. It says to hold on the record button but then when you try to record it drops down to the bottom of the screen and then poof it doesn’t work

    Pointless. App does not update location nearly well enough. Refreshed for 15 minutes straight before it would update my daughter’s location, less than a mile away. Finally did WHEN SHE WAS HOME. long lags for messaging.
