### 2/5 — Crashing App

*2016-12-30, version 5.3*

The app doesn't even show the watch connected to it even though I made a call on it to make sure it was still working. When I go into the app to check notifications it crashes. It also will send notifications that my child has left home...when the watch is on my kitchen counter and my child is downstairs. These issues need to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2016-10-28, version 5.3*

The app is garbage. Can you please fix the issue with it crashing? I can't even open it. As soon as I do it crashes which makes the watch pretty useless. Hate spending money for a watch that we can't even utilize.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2016-10-27, version 5.3*

I like the app but it has been crashing daily, prevents me from texting and locating my child

### 1/5 — App crashing

*2016-10-07, version 5.3*

Still crashes right away with most recent update

### 1/5 — App keep on crashing

*2016-10-04, version 5.2*

I bought the item last Thursday 9/29/16 and the app keep on crashing. The moment I click 'sign on' it kicks me out. Please fix the app!! I've already contacted FiLIP support and they said the developers are working to assist me..it has been 2 business day.

### 1/5 — Minimal usefulness. And CRASHES all the time

*2016-09-22, version 5.2*

The app, like the watch, has very limited function. Not very reliable geolocation service, and with the new Apple update, it crashes all the time!

### 1/5 — Waste of time & money 👎🏼

*2016-09-01, version 5.1*

Good concept, horrible device and app. I'm shocked AT&T would allow such an unreliable device and associated app to pawn onto customers as an "easy to use and reliable GPS locator and communication device for your child" when it is neither. 

After two calls to AT&T I finally got the device itself activated, but the app would not sync to the device after multiple attempts and the final straw was when the device showed "no service" yet again which will force me to call AT&T a third time...only this time I'm telling them to remove the number and fiLIP service from my account as I will be returning the device for a refund. I refuse to pay $150 for a device and $10 a month to use it when so many people here like myself have reported faulty devices, a constantly crashing app, issues syncing, etc.

Honestly, I wouldn't even use it if both the device and service were 100% free...I should have read the reviews here before I bought this worthless piece of crap. There is a reason it has such a low rating. 

What makes me even more angry is that this item is even available to the public considering the main reason why people buy it. Whatever you do, DON'T trust or rely on this item to protect your precious cargo...I fear it won't perform as it should if needed.

### 1/5 — Filip

*2016-08-29, version 5.1*

The apps keeps crashing. I monitor my son's whereabouts, especially on his way home from the bus. It's a safety feature that must be addressee immediately.

### 2/5 — App Needs Development

*2016-08-28, version 5.1*

The watch works fine, but if all set-up, maintenance, and control is going to occur in the app, the app needs to be better developed. We started with a defective unit. Now that I have a new one, I can't get the watch set-up because I can't delete the watch profile that is in the app currently to set it up again. Deleting and reinstalling the app doesn't help because the profile is under my parent profile established with my email address. This capability and more robust development of the online technical support would significantly improve the experience.

### 1/5 — Won't activate

*2016-08-22, version 5.1*

AT&T service works and I can call and wait on hold to talk to FiLIP from the watch, but the app won't send activation code. Also, it kept crashing while trying to add a photo from the camera, which a picture is required. I finally got around that by allowing access to my camera roll to use an existing image. So, now I'm just waiting for the app to send a six digit code so I can use the $150 thing I've been paying $10 a month for. Going on one week. Hold time was 25 minutes until it sent me to voicemail. Waiting for a call back.
