Fitbit Ace

My Grandkids got these for Christmas and it has been fun being able to text with them. Issues are that some messages are delayed coming through but the bigger issue is that some of the messages disappear after a bit so you can’t go back and check. It seems to be a random thing???

You have to put a stupid credit card to verify the google account for my CHILD. I don’t have to have google know my credit card for absolutely no reason. Terrible app

We will not pay 119 per year that is not what my family can afford so if you do not change it to free to sign in I will be carry mad and not give a good review ever again please change it to free or else

It takes forever to receive the text and to update location

The way my two kids have taken to their Aces, playing together, sharing bands, chatting together and chatting with us parents is simply remarkable. It’s solved all our problems on communicating with them when we’re apart, and knowing precisely where they are, while have active fun. My favorite things about Fitbit Ace: - love how all communication is thru the app - everything in one place - easy for parents and kids to use - something the kids love to engage with every day And messaging with the kids has opened up a whole new manner of communicating with them. They have unique new voices over text that we didn’t know before 😜

I love this watch, so does my daughter playing out of her watch is amazing! We love the games and everything is including the family quest.We would like more family quests soon thank you.

My 10 yr old daughter loves the watch. It gives us a peace of mind, too, when we know where she is, and the fact that she can contact us if she needs to. She’s messaged me about her forgotten water bottle (dropped off in the car trunk), her new school pickup time due to sports practice … etc. It’s given her more independence, without the smart phone “addiction“ or social media, which we think she is still too young for. And, she really enjoyed the games outside of her school time we set on her watch.

The app is completely unusable. Clicking on anything inside the app does nothing so I can’t call, text, or locate my kid. Worked fine the first day and then nothing.

The iOS version of the app freezes up and you cant click anything. Garmin kids watch is about to get my business instead.

Perfect for us, we’ve tried Apple watches SE but the spam calls and small screen made it difficult for kids to interact. This Fitbit Ace LTE is a little niche, kids don’t have a phone number, everything is done in app, but we love it since no more kids adding friends, chatting in class, etc. for my kids, the watch offers fun activities that keep them engaged but not distracted. For older kids this may not be appealing, but for 6-11 year olds, this is perfect.
