Major problems with the new Kids app
The T-Mobile kids watch, while seemingly a promising tool for parents to monitor their children’s safety, falls short in critical areas. One major issue is the video feature, which frequently doesn’t work as intended. Users have reported frequent lags, pixelated video quality, or the video not loading at all. This defeats one of the primary purposes of the watch, which is to provide parents with real-time visual confirmation of their child’s safety.
Another concerning flaw is the failure to send alerts when children step outside the designated boundaries. Geofencing is a key safety feature, but many parents have noted that the watch does not consistently notify them when their children leave or enter the set boundaries. This inconsistency undermines the watch’s core function as a safety device, leaving parents frustrated and concerned about the reliability of the product.
Overall, while the T-Mobile kids watch has potential, these technical issues—especially with the video feature and geofencing alerts—make it hard to recommend without significant improvements. For now, parents may want to explore more reliable alternatives.
