Poor outdated app
App freezes a lot. Settings are not saving. Is not working like it’s supposed to. I’m getting a notification every 30 seconds when I have them turned off. Waiting to hear back from igps to see if there is a fix but looking more and more like I’ll be returning the watch.
Terrible
This watch doesn’t work. The gps is wrong 99% of the time. If the GPS does work once thru out the day, it doesn’t update the location for days to follow. Dates/time are wrong.
The calling feature works 75% of the time. Gps will work if on WiFi but how silly is that? How does that help when your child isn’t home?
Do not recommend. Their office is located in Ft Myers. My son went there and his location didn’t update for hours. This watch will not be of any use if an emergency arose.

Simply does not work
Hi so i got my watch a few days ago and i tried to watch videos it does not work and it takes so long to add a contact then it just does not work it kicks me out of app and yeah fix these bugs please!!
Good idea but poor execution
We really wanted this watch and app to work for us. We previously had a kids GPS watch from a foreign owned company and wanted to move to an American company for easier tech support. Unfortunately this watch and company were a disappointment.
- Waited two months for watch to be shipped after ordering.
- First watch broke after 12 days of use. Shipped watch back and received a replacement 1.5 weeks later.
- Second watch stopped working after 6 days of use. Contacted company to request a refund since our child no longer wanted to use it since it wasn’t reliable.
- Company let us know that refunds are only issued within 14 days of originally receiving product.
Our advice would be to not purchase the Wizard Watch. The iGPS app is also a disappointment when compared to the previous kids gps watch we used (Doki). No options for a class mode, watch always makes an audible noise when powered on (not allowed at our child’s school), slow to report safe zone changes and location in general, text messages sent in duplicate, can’t listen to audio messages if your ringer is off.

Not Particularly Reliable
I speak from the experience of using the app several times a day over many months. I purchased an Ambygear GPS watch to track my developmentally disabled son. I have observed the following the following issues with the iGPS app:
1. I set the app for refresh location every 5 minutes. That does not happen at all. I have to do a force refresh to attempt to locate him.
2. Force refresh does not always work. Very often it gives me an old location with a current time stamp (this has been a more recent problem).
People might be expecting a “Find My iPhone” type experience. iGPS is nothing like that. I get inaccurate location data far too often. Needs a fix!
