Great for communication
Happy to share with my kids!
I have three kids 11, 8 and 6. This is such a great tool. I love being able to communicate with them and they like being able to voice text each other and a few friends. If you are debating between this and a phone...this is definitely the way to go. Just the right amount of access to technology....after all Bill Gates kids didn’t have cell phones until the were in high school ;-) Enjoy!
Great step before a phone!

I love my child’s gizmo! I can set quite times while he’s at school and I can see where he is at all times. He loves the voice changer and that it tracks his steps. (Thus, making him go outside and run if he’s short on his daily step goal). Score!! However, I really wish there were an Apple Watch app. I don’t have my phone on me at all times and this is difficult when we are communicating. PLEASE MAKE AN APPLE WATCH APP!! It would make a lot of parents very happy!
Needs Apple Watch connection!

I love how this connects and communicates with my sons watch. Could be faster, but I can be patient. It really fits our needs. Was thinking about getting an Apple Watch but this app isn’t compatible! It’s really the only thing holding me back from getting the watch.
Best investment for our kid

We got this for our 7year old (almost 8 now) and it has been the best thing we ever bought. She loves to be able to call her grandparents and her old sister who lives out of state any time she wants.... Her older cousin has one and they chat back and forth. For safety- we live within a short walk to school and our neighborhood park. It’s gated but just knowing where she is at all times is great. She always checks in and I can find her almost instantly- I do wish the refresh was a little faster- being on Verizon you think it would be, but it’s take a 30-45 seconds... it doesn’t seem long but when you are checking on location of your child- it’s seems like forever. Her teachers love it too because it’s not distracting like a cell phone and we have a slight mode during school hours. The battery life it great, lasts all day and we charge it at night. The only thing I would like to see as an improvement- is it being water proof, or even water resistant- she goes to friends houses for pool fun and keeps it in her bag which she can’t hear my calls..... the app itself is pretty easy to use- but I hate the fact I have to make someone a caregiver just to have messaging abilities- they don’t need updates on location because they don’t live her but it’s not the end of the world- everyone in our family loves that our kids have them. The eldest has an iPhone and the next two have the gizmo- my almost 6 year old keeps asking for one too lol. Highly recommend the gizmo watch!
Crashing upon opening after update
KarryOnAwhile
This app won’t even open since the update. Disappointed and somewhat frustrated. Texting the gizmo without the app doesn’t work.
Gizmo watch & app are great

The watches are great and the app associated with it is easy to use. I love it and will probably get the watches for my smaller two once they’re bigger!
Needs to vibrate

Does the gizmo also vibrate when a call is coming in? That would be more than helpful when we ate at an extremely loud sporting convention center and the kiddos can’t hear the ring.
Mediocre

App functionality is ok at best. SLOW response time, difficult to change settings for down time. Overall, I like the watch phone for my child but this app needs serious improvement.
