This is a great tool. Having the watch and tracker makes everyone more comfortable. Giving the app to family members lets everyone support the child’s safety and at the same time, independent behavior. We can always reach her and find her. She can ask for help, a question, or leave a voice message to her family.
Motivating!
We use the app to check in on the kids’ sleep, steps, and activity levels. They love earning stars for meeting their goals!
Tracks Sleep
Two features have been life changing for us. One is the sleep tracker. Avoiding a sleep study before a deciding to get a tonsillectomy for one of our littles was worth every penny. We also love the step counter and our kids race each other every day, such a fun way to get kids moving!
Nice
