"We had this service for about 2 years. Starting when pinwheel first began. I gave them time to work out the kinks but it just didn`t work right and we kept having problems. We kept talking at length with customer service agents both via chat and on the phone but they couldn`t fix the problem. it would all end with we needed a replacement phone. Everyone was great at saying what was wrong but no one would actually help. I finally gave up on ever getting help and found better."

"I have a love-hate relationship with this phone. There are a lot of things I love about it (safety, peace of mind, the ability to connect with my daughter and set a schedule on her phone), but there are A LOT of kinks with the app. The time on her phone is always wrong, the parent app is not accurate all the time, and messages don`t always get delivered/received. Overall, it`s good for what we need, just frustrating at times."

"This company is evil. It took me weeks to cancel my subscription. There is no cancelation process on the website, you have to speak to a customer support person. They refused to cancel unless I gave them thorough feedback on their app and ``what they can do better to retain my business.`` This company sucks, the service isn`t even that good. You can just use Google Family link for free and get the same protection for your child`s phone."

"We`ve been using this phone since Dec 2020 when I realized the vaccines were coming and I didn`t want to deal with the nightmare of my kids hacking every parental control again. My kids are now 13 and 10 and the phones have grown with them. My son adds his ballet friends to safe contacts and I approve them. Both kids use most of the Google apps to keep track of their own lives, Greenlight to manage their money, and can take/edit photos they send to friends. Just the benefits of a smart phone."

"Works great when paired with good hardware. We`ve used two different pinwheel phones, the first was their cheaper option which turned out to be a Blu phone. Blu makes cheap disposable phones that are notoriously unreliable, and we had nothing but trouble out of this phone. We replaced the Blu phone with the more expensive model, and that one was a Samsung phone. The Samsung has performed perfectly with no issues at all. The hardware made all the difference."

"Love being able to know what my child is up to and where they are at. It`s not overly invasive of their experience but allows the parent to be aware of what they are doing and limits their exposure to unhealthy social media platforms!"

I can`t update my billing information even from a browser like it tells me to. None of the games available are that great and they refuse to approve other games like Two Dots that would be more entertaining."

"Top Notch Experience! I`ve not had any issues with Pinwheel. No app is perfect but this has given me such peace of mind. I`m not sure why some people have issues, but I have had none. I recommend this app and the Pinwheel phones to everyone. I wish this had existed when my kids were younger! Customer service is always amazing as well!"

DESCRIPTION
Solve the kid/phone problem with Pinwheel. No need to figure out which parental controls manage which device best! Pinwheel custom-built a system to give you the proper tool to teach your child healthy tech habits from day one.
This Pinwheel app provides access to our Caregiver Portal. The Caregiver Portal is designed to let you configure and control a Pinwheel smartphone for your child. The phone and the app work hand-in-hand to give your kid a healthy, safe first phone.
In this app, you can:
- **Safelist contacts.** A Pinwheel phone can only call and text with numbers approved by you. No strangers, no spam calls.
- **Enable apps.** No app store on the Pinwheel phone **keeps app choices in your hands**, not your child`s. The curated app boutique makes it easy to choose useful, healthy, safe apps for your child. No social media, no addictive games, no mindless consumption.
- **Schedule Permissions.** Our Days/Modes calendar lets you choose which contacts and apps are available at what times of day. No texting friends during school, no staying up late using apps. You choose what they can do during different times of day. No need to constantly remind them what is and isn`t ok. **Pinwheel helps them develop healthy boundaries around technology use, without the drama**.
- **Create Routines.** Help your child learn to be more independent and responsible with Pinwheel`s fully-customizable checklists. A morning routine to make sure they`re ready for school on time, with teeth brushed and backpack in hand. A bedtime routine for evening peace. Routines for chores, for music practice, for anything you`d like your kid to do without you telling them for the millionth time. Gold stars and confetti help them celebrate their daily wins and nurture good habits as they *ask* to stay on track.
- **Parent Them Well.** Live Status shows you the location of the phone. Text history and a Bark subscription allow you to monitor and coach them on appropriate communication.
``Waiting as long as possible`` for a phone isn`t a plan. Giving them a phone designed for adults and hoping you set up all the controls correctly is a recipe for stress. Pinwheel solves the kid phone problem, with a phone designed to work for both of you.
You get a tool to teach them how to use technology well. They get a phone that helps them live their best life.
Download the Caregiver Portal app today to explore the parental controls for free! Visit our website to purchase a phone for your child, and put the controls to use.
