Doesn’t work! No QR Code

After I downloaded the app, the QR code will not appear. Keep getting an error message. Apparently it’s been going on for a while.

does not work

App on Apple Watch is not generating the required QR code to pair Watch to the parent app. Tech support claims they are working on this issue, but this is going on now for quite a while.

No qr code to add Apple Watch

No Qr code is created, tried multiple times, deleted and reinstalled and even tried it on another Apple Watch and still the same issue so we can’t connect the device to find my kids, even tried to add it just as a gps watch which didn’t work! Can’t speak to anybody just a chatbot that has automated questions and answers and non that fall into the category I need

Will not show QR code to link Apple Watch to account

When setting up and you get to the step to scan the QR code on the watch with your phone the watch will not show a QR code. There is a message in another language with a try again button. Please fix this issue.

Will not connect

I keep getting an error and it will not let me connect my daughters Apple Watch at all. This is so dumb. You either need to redo this app or update it. How are we supposed to keep our kids safe when we can’t keep an eye on them if your apps don’t work.

Does not work on the watch.

Instead of barcode there is an error message. Needs to be updated.

Not compatible with Apple Watch

Needs to be fixed

Awful

I subscribed and pay for the app but can’t find an email or chat to help setting up my son’s Apple Watch, if not contact in a week will cancel subscription

Doesn’t work on Apple Watch

Bought my kid an Apple Watch because I wanted to use this app. Loved the phone version to be able to keep an eye on my kid’s location when not with me. Very disappointed that this version is useless!

Update Please!

Unable to pair my child’s Apple Watch. No QR code displays. Just says to try again. I’ve tried reinstalling multiple times with same results. Please fix the QR code or find another way to sync with Apple Watch please!!

Dead app

Good instruction but it was a dead app never update.

App is currently broken - don’t waste your time

The Watch app is currently broken. The developer is aware of the issue and say they are working on it. Unfortunately they’ve been aware of it for over six months now and haven’t fixed the issue. The app will not create a QR code necessary for it to link with the Find My kids app. They should really remove it from the App Store until it is fixed.

Simply won’t work with out an update

The instructions on how to setup an Apple Watch with this app are no longer valid with todays version of watch os and iOS. They need to update the app to address the new user interface and choices for settings required to connect a child’s Apple Watch.

Wait WAT

OK SO I DOWNLOADED THIS AND I APPARENTLY BOUGHT THIS AND I DONT WANT IT

Great marketing and terrible app

You cannot use this on a standalone iwatch as the application will not finish set up as it doesn’t seem to be able to link to Health app. Sound around feature has been disabled apparently due to apples privacy policy, so between the app developers and Apple, this is a huge waste of time.

Won't install on applewatch

It gives a unhelpful error on the watch from pingo and findmykids wants to scan something.

Can’t connect Apple Watch

The process was seamless for setting up my daughter’s iPhone. However, when I went to set up her Apple Watch I get an error notification and no QR code to sync to app. I need the tracker in her watch, too, as she does not always run with her phone while doing cross country. Developer assistance with this issue may change my poor rating.

Needs an update

Unfortunately, the app no longer works. It was unstable to begin with and now I cannot generate a QR code to add to Find My app. I have tried resetting the watch and reinstalling about 10 times. With Wi-Fi off and off. Just says Error in Russian and asks to try again. Would be nice to have a secondary way to add the watch to the app in case QR code doesn’t display or just use a code instead of QR like the phone app does when adding to the parent phone.

Can confirm does't work with iwatch.

Don't waste your time or money on this. These apps don't work with kids and iwatches. You need the iphone.

Doesn’t work at all

This app never a sends location to parent app. I liked watch per instructions but the parent app says the “phone” doesn’t have geo location on even though it does. This makes the app worthless
