Drains battery very quickly and is full is spyware

My mum installed the app on my phone a few months ago and ever since has constantly sent her notifications on where I am, even when I’m with her. The app is full of spyware too, READ THE SMALL PRINT BEFORE INSTALLING!!! The app literally openly admits to ruining a child’s privacy and sense of security, I recommend using apple findmy app as the child can also see where the parent is as well as no spyware included. Pingo is just another app stealing children’s sense of security, do not use.

Concerned parent, do not get this app!

I just got my 12 year old daughter a phone, and as any parent would I wanted to make sure she was safe and not doing anything she shouldn’t be doing. I thought this app would do just that. Nope! Do not get this app. Of course as any rebellious tween would she deleted it. I am so disgusted. After she deleted it I decided to fully read the privacy policy and what the app was tracking/ the data collected on her. Her voice, MY voice, her dads voice, her siblings voices, and her friends voices were being monitored 24/7! I also saw that one of the software developers is from China! I am all for keeping my daughter safe but this is 100% not the way. This app is complete garbage and she isn’t safe because of this app. It has unlimited access to my speech, texts, and activity, so i deleted it myself. This app is a scam and putting kids at risk for a number of reasons. I have let my co workers, and kids parents that this app is dangerous and they should not get it. I believe that small tracking apps are beneficial for my kids safety but this app is not it. Please do not get this. It has all my information and could leak it at any time and put me, and my whole family at risk. Do better, and stop trying to take advantage of young kids.

Don’t listen to the troll’s that give this one star

Yes, some of you may not like being tracked by your parents but they just want to make sure that you’re safe.

Yes they might listen to your audio on your phones microphone but that’s the same reason as above.

So here’s my final verdict.

Don’t trust reviews that give an app one star and haven’t even fully tried it.

😊 GREAT!

At first I was not sure about this app. I’m 12 years old and I didn’t want my mom and dad violating my privacy. I don’t care about that anymore though because I know that they can protect me. If u ever get lost they know where I am . The only thing I very much dislike about this app is it uses so much of my battery. Before I had the app downloaded my phone had too be charged almost every 2 days now I charge it like 3 times a day. Other than that I enjoy having this app to know that my mami and papi can know where I am.🫠

It’s killing me and my relationship with my mom

This app is fake. I just found out my mom put this app on my phone so she clearly doesn’t trust me but doesn’t have the guts to say it and maybe resolve the situation without tracking me 24/7. Now this app is apparently saying I get into somebody’s car everyday and my mom won’t stop asking me who’s car I get into. Bare in mind I walk home everyday so I don’t know how to tell her I’m not doing anything wrong I’ve never gotten into anybody’s car. Before this app everything was fine between me and my mom I never gave her any reason to track me.

Hi

Because I like it🚪🪑

Because I like it because mine gonna get to see where I’m at or where I’m going like I’m at home and whatever school stuff she can to hear people and when I get bullied because I could bully a lot🔮🩹

It’s alr

So what I mean by alr it’s not good I accidentally pushed to sos widget on my Home Screen and the alarm went off on my moma’s phone and she got angry with me bc she could not do anything about it and it’s rlly annoying!! Unless u want that then you do you honey bunny

Pingo

The app is somewhat useful for tracking another device but it’s full of bugs. There is long delays on the messaging service and updating the location is slow. If you press ‘sos’ it will alert the ‘parent’ but won’t stop alerting them every 5 minutes. All the alerts are very delayed and seem useless in an emergency situation, you cannot cancel the alerts and they come back over again every 5 minutes non-stop.

App not opening after I’ve paid for it

My mum has paid a lot of money for the Findmykids app and after a week and a half or so Pingo stopped working. It just won’t open on my phone no matter how many times I’ve tried to press. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it again and also restarted my phone. Please help!!!!
