Not efficient!
We went from the watch to the phone. I’m disappointed with the lack of parental control that the app provides for the phone. With the watch, I was able to lock it at bedtime. I have to remember to take the phone at night so my kid isn’t using it after bedtime. The GPS IS HIGHLY INACCURATE. I get alerts that my kid has left a safe zone, whole time she’s still there. The messenger app automatically signs me out throughout the day, so I miss video calls regularly. I have to sign back in to return each call. Overall, there’s very little control for the parent and it will not allow you to connect to Google parental controls which is far better. You’re better off with a regular phone and using the provided parental controls for that device. I am in search of a better company.

DO NOT BUY
Do not buy from them. They are the worst company to work with. Phones are cheap and they don’t work. when you try to get a refund they give you the run around.
Great idea, many issues
I love that my children do not have access to the internet but can still contact me if we are not together.. however this doesn’t always work. Often calls will fail for no reason. I add contacts and they don’t show up on the phone and the gps is inaccurate and rarely does it notify you if they leave the set safe areas. For example right now my daughter is in a safe zone but the app shows her about a half mile away from that area… that could really alarm a parent- except I’m sure she is safe- what if I wasn’t?! I do it need extra worry!!! I spent over an hour with customer service.. they were very nice but the issues were not resolved. Unfortunately there is a contract.. once that is up -unless things improve-I will switch to the other similar provider.

Poor location update
This use to be great but now it is rarely accurate and constantly showing the phone in places it is not at.
Good in theory but doesn’t work
We’ve tried the Gabb phone for over a year now and it’s just not working. In theory it sounds amazing and I wish it worked but the technology has sooo many issues. Nothing works the way it should. Location updates are VERY delayed so defeats the whole point. Phone won’t work well if it’s not on our wifi-again defeats the whole point. I wanted a super simple phone so my child could go be with friends in the neighborhood and I could still reach her or see where she was for safety. It doesn’t work when she’s doing that. They advertise that you can download parent approved apps but it’s only the ones they have preloaded. Ones that I approve and want her to have are not available. I didn’t want to get a real phone yet but we are going to have to.
