## Pinwheel Caregiver Description
Solve the kid / phone problem with Pinwheel. No need to figure out which parental controls manage which device best! Pinwheel's custom-built system gives 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 give you the power to configure and control a Pinwheel smartphone for your child. The phone and the app work hand-in-hand to let your kid establish a healthy relationship with technology.

In this app, you can:

- **Safelist contacts.** You approve every contact the Pinwheel phone can call or text, and you can schedule when those contacts are available each day. No strangers, no spam calls, no texting friends all night.


- **Enable apps.** No app store on the Pinwheel phone **keeps app choices in your hands**, not your child's. The curated app library makes it easy to choose useful, healthy apps for your child. No social media, no addictive games, not internet browsing, 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 message monitoring allows you to supervise and coach them on appropriate communication.

## Pinwheel Caregiver Reviews in United States

### ***** "Highly recommend for your tween/teen!"
I highly recommend the pinwheel phone to any parent! We feel much safer with our teen being able to connect with friends, get in touch with us while being safe from the dangers of social media and endless scrolling!
-- amaree1016, 2026-05-20

### ***** "Easy 5 Stars"
I switched from Gabb and this is the easiest 5 star review I’ve given. The app is great and the customization per kid and per device is exactly what I needed. The app updates the kids’ devices instantly and is easy to use and reliable. I needed to leave Gabb because of the many issues I had the whole time I used them and Pinwheel has been the best moved I could have made! It’s better for me AND the kids!! I actually told them we were going back to Gabb and they were very unhappy with me lol
-- I love this app! The best!, 2026-04-23

### ***** "No addiction! Useful tech :)"
Pinwheel is great for my 4 kids. The older ones (14 and 12) have phones. No social media. I love the “nothing mode” which gives me the ability at any moment to shut off digital access entirely except for calling/texting family. 

My younger two (7 and 8) have Pinwheel watches. They love to ask the AI app about animals. They my youngest loves taking pics of bugs. I can see every text, even the rejected ones, on my own phone. That makes it easy to add somebody that was intended and to see the garbage that they’re protected from.

### ***** "Parent of an 11 year old daughter"
As I have learned, one is not giving internet access to your child, your giving the internet access to your child. With this program and phone you have given the safety and control back into the hands of the parents and for this I am grateful! I appreciate all who created and supports Pinwheel!
-- HFH33, 2026-04-21

### ***** "Amazing— best thing I ever did as a parent"
Pinwheel makes parenting teens better. The initial buy in is hard but it pays of over and over and over. 

My favorite part is the conversations I have with my kids as their needs change. It gives me the opportunity to explain my concerns and why I think things can be risky. But, it also lets them tell me how they are thinking about their friends, and school, and activities.

I tell them that childhood is short and precious.

Thank you, Pinwheel for helping me give my  children a childhood.

### **--- "So slow"
The app works. It’s way better than attempting to give your kid an iPhone and expecting it to keep them safe. But that said, it often doesn’t update with the changes I make. For example, if I allow more time on an app, I have to change it, then click around in the settings to make sure it “took.” Also, the automatic time zone setting does not work. We are traveling and it did not change. I manually changed it. It’s supposed to go off at 9. It’s almost 10 and it’s still working. It is also super slow. It takes forever to load. The idea is amazing. The execution needs work.
-- Dyhdhlnggjg, 2026-03-22

### ***** "Best cell phone for kids"
I’m incredibly thankful there’s an option to introduce my kids to cell phones in a way that is safe and manageable. Pinwheel has so many great features that let parents be in control of what their kids can access. They continue to provide new features and listen to customer feedback to make sure the experience is what parents and kids are looking for. The AI feature is a great way for kids to ask the questions they have rather than asking Google and have the whole internet available for an answer. The contact controls and image sharing options are also a great way to help keep kids safe and gradually give them more freedom.
-- Smk0528, 2026-03-19

### ***** "Works so well!"
We’ve been using Pinwheel phones for our kids for the last three years and it’s been going so well. We love the fact that they are flexible and we can change the settings, depending on the age of the kids. And it’s super easy to go and adjust things on my phone on the app whenever I need to give one of my children access to something. I have the kids text me and ask for access to things all the time and I can give them instant access through the app. I’m really glad we went with Pinwheel when we were trying to decide what phones to use for our kids.

### ***** "Great phone to grow with your kiddo"
Love that I am in control of my kiddos phone. She only has access to what I add to her phone and I can turn anything on and off at any time. Love the time limits and schedule. Only thing I’d like to improve is the location services (little slow) and the schedule is confusing to make but the rest is too good not to give 5 stars.
-- Defsteph81, 2026-03-12

### ***** "5 stars"
Awesome phone for kids, great app for parents and BEST customer service with easy steps to follow. Make the purchase. You won’t regret it!
-- maikolina, 2026-03-11
