### 2/5 — I guess it’s safe though

*2026-05-17*

this is not so much a kid-friendly AI as a way to ask encyclopedia questions and nothing else, and be answered by a monotone robot who repeats phrases.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback. We're always working to improve the experience and this is exactly the kind of input that helps us do that. We'll make sure this gets passed along to the right team.

### 2/5 — Too limited

*2026-03-28*

I was excited for my daughter to have a safe ChatGPT option, but this one is way too limited. It’s hardly known anything she’s asked it. She asked about a very popular band & it didn’t recognize the band name.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for sharing this, and I’m really sorry for the disappointment. We know how important it is for kids to feel like they’re getting helpful, reliable answers, especially when they’re excited to use the app. Our goal is to provide a safer, age-appropriate experience, which can sometimes mean the responses are a bit more limited than what you might expect elsewhere. That said, this is helpful feedback for us to look into and improve on. We’re continually working on expanding what the app can understand while keeping it safe for younger users. If you’re open to it, feel free to reach out with specific examples so we can take a closer look and better support your experience. Please do send us an email at support@pinwheel.com.

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2026-03-27*

When I got this app I thought it be able to help me even more with my clothing brand. Turns out it just says where to search on the internet for tips instead of helping me. Like it’s Ai, like it’s supposed to help me with stuff.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear the app didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how important it is to get clear, actionable help. We hear you that you’re looking for more hands on, detailed support. That’s valuable input, and we’ll make sure to pass it along to our team as we continue improving the experience.

If you’re open to it, feel free to reach out and share what kind of help you were hoping for. We’d love to better support you. Email us at support@pinwheel.com.

### 3/5 — Good but a problem

*2026-01-10*

I really like PinwheelGPT. It’s really fun, don’t get me wrong, but I have a problem. I feel like the AI it uses is a little bit unintelligent. Also, I think they should add kid friendly image generation. But other than that, great app👍

### 1/5 — I hate the question limit

*2025-12-01*

Please get rid of the question limit

### 1/5 — Why is this a thing

*2025-11-18*

……………………BAD JUST BAD

### 1/5 — 20 questions per month…

*2025-08-12*

My parents wouldn’t let me have ChatGPT, so when they gave me this I was overjoyed…I deleted it as soon as I logged in 😔
It doesn’t give you photos, doesn’t describe things very well, and only lets you ask 20 questions…per month! (Unless you pay). I’m deeply disappointed in the outcome of acquiring this app. Not worth it.🙁

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-06-23*

It’s a fun thing to do although I’m a kid I’d give it a A+!

### 1/5 — The problem

*2025-06-08*

I saw that it was purchased but didn’t see it on my IPad! I dont know what to do about it!!!
But I’ll give it a 1 star rating]:<

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-04-19*

I tried to sign in bu it wouldn't let me. It only let me log in
