Responsiveness is absent

This is a great app for getting kids to brush their teeth, so it does its job. Beyond that it is terrible! The slowest response rate of any app I’ve ever used. Glitches often, including being unable to connect to the Bluetooth brush. Syncing an account across devices also fails more often than not. I cannot understand why this app is rated so well.

Losing progress

One of my kid profiles keeps switching his character back after the paints it and it is driving him nuts! It hasn’t been fixed in months. Every other profile works

App freezes when deleting a duplicate profile

Duplicate account created upon backup. Unable to delete as the app freezes after confirmation.

Bluetooth Capability has Cavities!

Horrible Bluetooth. After you connect the brush the app doesn’t recognize it after the first thirty seconds of it being paired. You then fall into purgatory of trying to connect. Pretty useless.
