Doesn’t work like it should at ALL

The location is completely off most of the time and takes a long time to update. Half the time you don’t get the text that are sent from the watch. You can’t take a picture without the camera making a snap shot noise. The texts that they send have to be from a selected text. They can’t type their own text message to you. I got this to be able to keep track of my child and when she is in OKC,OK area it tells me she is in Houston,TX. If I wouldn’t of just dropped her off knowing where she was then I would be panicking. If I could give a 0 star review I would. I do not recommend at all. But you can try it out for yourselves and see how bad the watch and services it is supposed to provide are.

Perfect

This watch has met every expectation. We bought it for our 8-year old who is now almost 10-years old and still using it. We have a do-not-disturb setting for the time when she’s in school & bedtime, she can call any of her friends or our family after I’ve added their numbers to her list, she has an emergency button, can take pictures, & because she’s so social & active, I feel more comfortable being able to see her location when she’s not home!

We LOVE This Watch

As a helicopter mom with a 5yr old kid getting older and wanting their space I was having anxiety about school and him just going places without me. I’m so thankful that i found the TickTalk watch. It is very user friendly and I love that it has everything needed to stay in communication with your child without them having access to the internet or unknown callers. My favorite feature aside from the GPS is being able to remote in and listen to your kid’s surroundings. My son has the TickTalk watch 4 which is made with durability in mind, so the watch face is durable but the watch bands can break and unlike the TickTalk watch 3 the bands aren’t replaceable. I love how quick and easy dealing with the warranty department is and how fast they get your replacement watch to you if the watch breaks. Bottom line this watch gives this helicopter mom peace of mind!

Don’t waste your money

Bought two tick talk 4 watches and paid for the extended warranty. After a couple months both watches stopped working. One had the red button get stuck pressed in and the other wouldn’t make calls nor receive them. Not even two months later one stopped charging. A year and a month later the other watch is not charging well anymore. Both watches have been replaced at least twice. Each time it takes one to four weeks to receive the replacement. Absolutely terrible quality and poor customer service.

No longer working well

The watch has not been working well for a couple weeks now. It keeps saying it is offline. Sometimes we turn it off and then back on and it starts working again but then will stop working again. It is frustrating that it is not reliable.

Doesn’t use direct text line

I really like this app it’s easy and simple, however, I do not like that I have to go through the app to access messages. So instead of my messages coming directly through my text in my phone, I have to access a separate app and there is a large delay between calls with my children. It does not instantly connect very slow.

Please add Apple Watch support!!!

Love the watch, and most everything about the experience. However, when I get a message from my daughter it only says “you have a message” on my Apple Watch, instead of letting me read the message. Please update the app to support opening and previewing messages from the watch!!!

Love this watch

I have had this watch for three years and I am still in love with this watch.

Setup process not clear

Between the SIM card set-up and the multiple login ids, passwords and approval steps: it’s very easy to get frustrated with the process. Kid lost interest and (tech savvy parent) almost sent back. 30minites of back and forth before set up completed and not at all site this is going to work….

Great alternative to a phone

This is a great option for us as our child is not ready for a phone. It does what it needs to do without the worry of internet safety. The only thing I wish it had was a notification on the home screen showing there are texts or missed calls. The only way to see anything is if you go into the watch and then scroll to check. Kids don’t always remember to do those things.
