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. ———— **Pinwheel Subscription Pricing** The Pinwheel Caregiver Portal app is a companion app to Pinwheel phones. Phones can be purchased, and the monthly subscription can be set up, through our website: http://pinwheel.com Pinwheel Subscriptions - FREE 30 Day Trial - $14.99 USD/month **Cellular Plans** Pinwheel phones are unlocked devices, which allow you to choose your cellular plan from many major networks and providers. The cost for cellular service depends on which carrier and plan you choose. Our website has recommendations and information on those. For your convenience, we can even help you set up service. ———— **Need Help?** If you have any questions, need help with Pinwheel, or want to provide feedback, please contact our Customer Care Team: support@pinwheel.com or click the LiveChat icon on our website: http://pinwheel.com}

Best thing for kids and teens if they have to have a phone!

I really wish this worked better. the GPS location does not load on a regular basis and you can not manually refresh it either. so sometime weeks in-between a location update. Also, seemly at random the phone will not receive any texts or calls. Was hoping for something more reliable since its supposed to be foe emergencies foe my children.

Great platform to allow my kids the privilege of having a smart phone but retain some control and ease the transition into them managing themselves when they're older.

We love Pinwheel! My kid gets to text, call, and use apps, but I am not just handing over the whole internet. The curated app store and simple layout make it feel really safe and kid friendly. He gets some independence, and I don't have to stress. The Caregiver App is what makes it all work for me. From my phone I can pick which apps he can use, set limits and quiet times, see who he is talking to, and lock or pause the phone when I need to. It is very straightforward and easy!

The Pinwheel Watch is TERRIBLE! Don't make the mistake I did. Do NOT purchase a Pinwheel Watch!

Location is constantly buffering, so I never know where my child is. I don't know who created this, but their idea of security is skewed. Could not download apps such as a calculator or a Bible app. As parents, we want control, not a company. We should be able to make our own choices based on each individual childs needs. Each child is different and needs to be treated as so by the parents' choice. I do like being able to summarize text messages.

note that this rating isn't for the phone, but for the app. this app is so freaking buggy - has to be uninstalled and reinstalled every few weeks. lots of features sometimes just don't function as well.

great concept however.... the app is super buggy, I have had the device since February/March and have had to uninstall and reinstall the app multiple times due to it opening but only giving me a white screen. the phone locks on its own and has to be restarted often without the modes changing. some of the features are a little to strict making the phone difficult to use, as a caregiver there is a lot I cannot change and allow access to. I also wish it was able to see pictures in the device.

For the most part this has been fantastic. I love that it has a feature where I can get a run down of what is being said via text, having control of contacts, and spam calls are non existent. The draw backs are that our child's phone lags with messages at times, either with no notification on their end or the message not being sent out even during "all" mode. The location is always buffering, even with a refresh. The tech team should be approving apps to add to their store quicker.
