### 4/5 — Excellent

Perfect!!!

### 2/5 — いらない‪💢

*2026-08-02*

お母さんにいる場所バレて怒られるから。
マジでいらない

### 1/5 — Do not like!

*2026-07-08, version 1.15.193*

I do not like this one it’s a invade of privacy and two it’s just wrong why would a tracker for your kids need to know what apps u have and listen to conversations with your friends or anyone and also there is no need to block apps and have screen time this is unacceptable from other parents who download this. If yall get this app at least try to take off the part of the whole screen tile and blocking apps and looking at conversations this is really disgusting and disturbing

### 4/5 — Set up

*2026-06-04, version 1.15.192*

Navigation and set up is a bit complicated

### 1/5 — Don’t download it

*2026-05-23, version 1.15.191*

Don’t download this app because your battery will go 100% to 50% in less than a hour. Also, it can access to you camera at any moment and won’t notify you of this.

### 1/5 — How to ruin a relationship with your kid

*2026-05-20, version 1.15.191*

Do I need to say more? The fact that you’re considering installing this on their phone is already showing how you don’t trust them.

### 1/5 — Muito ruim

*2026-05-10*

Baixe esse aplicativo com a minha mãe, para sabermos onde estamos caso precisamos de ajuda, mas não consigo localizar ela, e ainda precisa de internet, e se um dia ela precisar de ajuda e não tiver internet, o fato de ter esse aplicativo não vai ajudar em nada

### 1/5 — La odio

### 1/5 — horrible.

*2026-08-21, version 1.15.197*

it won’t let me delete it even after my ma allowed it on her side. it’s a horrible app that tracks EVERYTHING. it’s an invasive app.

### 1/5 — Get rid of tracking apps

*2026-08-20, version 1.15.197*

This app literally ruins relationships between  children and their parents. Children have the right to privacy as it is a basic human right and parents should be able to trust them without having to check their location 24/7. This app ruins the trust between parents and their children.. speaking from experience. Because of this app my mum thinks i’m always lying and she’s always paranoid about something happening to me wherever I go. As a result of this, our relationship suffers because she cannot trust me to go anywhere when I have proven her that I’m always careful and safe. If you are a parent reading this, please do not track your children because you think they are lying to you, chose to trust them instead until that trust is broken in other ways. And if you do want to track them for their real safety, don’t shout at them for going out. Let them go out and socialise otherwise they’re going to suffer a lot in the future. Remember we are human too and we want to live our lives, without our parents shouting at us because of a stupid app, because if we don’t live it now while we are young and healthy, when are we?

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-08-12, version 1.15.194*

Some loser who doesn’t know how to move on uses this app just to listen to his ex wife’s conversation. He thinks he’s James Bond using this app to spy on someone. He thinks he’s a CIA agent. 

Don’t download this app, it’s for insecure parents, who doesn’t know how to be a parent at all. Don’t be like this loser, be better. 

To all the good parents out there, you don’t need this.

### 1/5 — 깔지말자

*2026-08-08, version 1.15.194*

존나걍 감시당함 지워라

### 1/5 — Um mein Kind

*2026-08-06*

Mein Kind ist fast um Leben gegangen wegen den Bildschirmzeit mein Sohn wurde entführt wegen wollte zu seiner Freunden gehen kann mich nicht anrufen für Notfall (macht kein Jugendschutz Schrott wegen die schauen 24/7 unser Daten

### 1/5 — The app

*2026-08-04, version 1.15.194*

Idgaf about the privacy, just the fact it says i walk through houses and cars when i get home from school or are on the move when next to my mum. I do not recommend

### 1/5 — Elevez l’application

*2026-07-28*

Regardez en ils volent les données de vos enfants

### 1/5 — Genuinely Disgusting

*2026-07-26, version 1.15.194*

Tracking me is fine. I don’t care if my mother does that it’s a NORMAL thing to do. Same with going through messages and what apps i have/screen time every once in awhile. Whatever mom, that’s fine. BUT LISTENING TO ME AND MY FRIENDS BY HACKING INTO MY MICROPHONE IS NOT!! She claims she isn’t doing that disturbing perverted stuff (creeping on me and my friends without us knowing or giving permission), but i can very clearly see when my mic is turned on. That is genuinely disgusting and should not be a feature on a TRACKING app. And it’s not like i’m doing anything wrong, it’s just that this feature crossed multiple lines and decided it wanted to keep running as far from them as it could possibly go. Just here to warn people whose parents are trying to force this app on them, it’s gross and i’m losing my mind right now.

### 1/5 — I hate you , your ruined my teenage years your dirtbags

*2026-07-15, version 1.15.193*

Getting my phone locked eveyday because of you stupid idiots this is the worst app of all time why would you make a an app that immediately blocks what I’m doing I hate this app

### 1/5 — Batterie

*2026-07-13*

Si votre téléphone se décharge anormalement vite et que vous avez cette application d’installer ne vous posez pas la question cette application est la principale responsable de cette perte de batterie elle console plus de 20% de la batterie en une journée donc si vous voulez que la vie du téléphone de votre enfant ne tienne que 1-2 Anne installez cette application

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2026-08-15*

Muuuito bom pra o que é proposto 😉

### 5/5 — 진심으로 그만하세요

*2026-08-08*

(리뷰가 5점인 이유는 추천에 뜨기 위함이다.실제로는 0점도 가깝다) 이 짧은 글이 이앱을 깔려고 고민하시는 모든 부모에게 닫기를 원합니다.이해하겠습니다 당연히 부모님들은 자신의 아이를 걱정하시겠죠 하지만 아이와 제대로 된 상의가 있지 않는한 제발 깔지 말아주세요.북한도 핸드폰의 채팅을 막아도 위치추적하지 않아요.우리나라는 범죄 발생율이 인구 밀집도에 비해절대 높은편이 아님니다.저희
이제 부모님들도 다 80-90년대에 태어나셧을껍니다. 그리고 우리 부모님들도 친구들과 함께 밖에서 시간을 보냈을텐데 아직 살아계시죠? 80년대 cctv 도 지금만큼의 거의 1/3였는데 살아게시잖아요.우리 청소년들 사망률이 안전사고가 2등이에요 근데 부모님들이 잘관리하는데 어떻게 안전사고 1위일까요?그리고 아이를 생각한다면 학업과 과도한 통제를 줄이시고 아이와 시간을 더보내주세요.청소년 사망 1위는 자살이고 13년째 유지합니다.부모님들의 안심은 언제나 우리 청소년들에겐 깊은 압박일수 있습니다.하지만 자녀분과 상의를 했는데 깔지 말라는게 아니고요 자녀분과 충분한 상의 다음에 깔아주세요!

### 5/5 — 코드

*2026-07-29*

아이가 폰을 바꿔서 핑고를 깔았는데
코드를 입력하라고 뜹니다. 근데 제폰,아이 폰에도 코드가 뜬게 없는데 이럴때.어떻게 해야하나요?

### 5/5 — It’s good

*2026-07-17, version 1.15.193*

It’s good but you can just use 
“ Find My” on IPhone

### 5/5 — 1년 사용한 학생입니다

*2026-06-03*

위함할 때 신호도 보낼 수 있고 부모님과 톡도 할 수 있어서 좋아요. 감시 받는 느낌도 없고요. 5점 드립니다

**Developer response:** 따뜻한 후기와 높은 평가에 감사드립니다! 저희 앱이 소통하시기에 편리하다고 느끼셨다니 매우 기쁩니다. 저희 팀은 보내주신 응원과 소중한 의견에 진심으로 감사드립니다.

### 5/5 — I really recommend this service

*2026-03-05*

By means technology you can access phones with deep knowledge with just Phone number.
You can pin few person you often see your partners communicate with to know their relationship and what is going on between them.
When you set your flag on them your device automatically tells us when a contact is made with such people and easily you can track your partner and their cheat mate location.
Contact lordhack5775 {@}gmail •com. for help to know what's going on. life savers

### 5/5 — Muito bom

### 5/5 — good

*2026-02-02, version 1.15.185*

i think this app is good for tracking especially if your kid walks home from school you can listen to there surroundings which seems good but other than that i don’t think you listen to there surroundings often because that’s quite invading there privacy but good app!
