    This app has been working perfectly. I love all the features and modifications I can do.
  • Could be better

    Doesn’t send notifications, even though all notifications in app, and on phone are turned completely on. Very little guidance on finding a fix, therefore my kid never uses the watch and it was a waste of money.
  • Works ok… sometimes

    The connect messages freeze frequently and the app has to be restarted. Also my audio messages often get stuck as “message could not be delivered” which is frustrating because i can’t retry to send. To message has to be re-recorded. Lots of potential if the bugs get fixed

    The newest update gives no way to get a current location without turning on live track. Between this and not being able to get any text notifications I am wondering why I bother paying the $10/month.
  • Great app for communication with kids

    Easy to use the location feature and a great way to introduce kids to communicating with parents.
  • Poor Responsiveness

    The map struggles to update regardless of connection type. Map layers are slow to load if they load at all. This is below standards for a Garmin product.
  • So nice

    I wish I could download the voice messages. Also wish I could see her other communications, would be nice to guide her socially with her communication manners even though it’s family contacts.
  • Happy with this watch

    This is such a great alternative to giving our child a phone before they needed it. I loved being able to track him getting home from school and being able to communicate with him directly when we are apart
  • Perfect starter watch for 10 y/o

    Very intuitive system. Easy to add 2 kids. Simple pre-set text messages and ability to send voice notes. Tracking works well. And especially love that it’s waterproof. Will tide us over well until smartphones
