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 boutique 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 history and a Bark subscription allow you to monitor and coach them on appropriate communication. "Waiting as long as possible" for a phone isn't a plan. Giving them a phone designed for adults and hoping you set up all the controls correctly is a recipe for stress. Pinwheel solves the kid phone problem, with a phone designed to work for both of you. You get a tool to teach them how to use technology well. They get a phone that helps them live their best life. Download the Caregiver Portal app today to explore the parental controls for free! Visit our website to purchase a phone for your child, and put the controls to use. ———— **Pinwheel Subscription Pricing** This Pinwheel Caregiver Portal app is a companion app to Pinwheel phones. It does not work with other phones. You are welcome to explore the app for free! To use with a Pinwheel phone, the app is $14.99 per month for the first paired device, and $5 per month for each additional device. See more information and purchase Pinwheel phones on our website: http://pinwheel.com **Cellular Plans** Pinwheel phones are unlocked devices, which allow you to choose your cellular plan from many major networks and providers. Pinwheel does not provide cellular service. The cost for cellular service depends on which carrier and plan you choose. Our website has recommendations and information on those. For your convenience, we can even help you set up service. ———— **Need Help?** If you have any questions, need help with Pinwheel, or want to provide feedback, please contact our Customer Care Team: support@pinwheel.com

Reviews of Pinwheel Caregiver

Location hardly ever works

I love the idea of having a phone that grows with my kids. That’s why I have two. However, the location hardly ever works and that is one of the biggest reasons I wanted to use pinwheel. We’ve reached out to customer service multiple times with these issues, and while they do answer through email, the problem doesn’t improve. I’m frustrated and reconsidering my choice in pinwheel. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone right now.

Response from developer

Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear about your poor experience with our location feature. I'm sure you've been told this already, but this may be due to various reasons like your area's infrastructure, cell service, etc. However, our Tech Team would love to check on whether there's anything else we've missed for your case. If you can find time, do reach out to our Support Team one more time and let them know you're coming from this review. Looking forward to hearing from you!
