    clear the text box when i click send. this bug annoys me so much. i type a message and click send. the message send but the text stays in the box. makes me double text sometimes. very annoying to delete the box every time i type a text.

    The watch works very well. Only thing wrong is that it breaks after a year. They should make it harder to break
  • Location works only sometimes

    When i try to click “location” in the app, i sometimes get an error message that “something went wrong”. It usually seems to be when I really need to know the whereabouts of my child.
  • Great execution

    We were deciding between an Apple Watch and a Bounce 2. So far the bounce 2 has been a great middle step between a more adult device like an Apple Watch. Many users have complained that communication can only be done within the Garmin Jr app but we don’t mind this at all. Calls and text messages have been reliable, and all the settings we have needed to adjust from the app to update the bounce 2 have updated without issue over the LTE network.

    I paid $10 a month for this application to communicate with my son and I can tell you that they put zero of that $10 in this application. This application has not changed in over a year. Wouldn’t be surprised to see this thing get sunset.
  • Update Blocked by Parental Controls

    App update is suddenly locked by parental controls. I (the parent) am trying to figure out what needs changed to allow access again. We’ve been using this for years without issue.
  • Live tracking is not usable

    Got this mainly to see the location of my kid in real time for texting school bus, etc. The button for liver tracking is difficult to find and un-clickable because the page you can't scroll down far enough. It would be nice if the app developers tested the apps they create.
