More about Gabb

Parents can stay safely connected with their kids through GPS tracking, safe messaging, geofenced safe zones with alerts when a child’s device enters or leaves specified locations, and more.

Ratings and Reviews
Helped me catch a bully
This app has been a blessing! It helped me catch a bully and find out about bullying that my child didn't tell me about. This app flags curse words, racial slurs, and Web links. in the app, it says that your child will not receive the messages if the person is not in their contacts but if the person is in their contacts, unfortunately the child will still see the flag messages. I am using this with an old iPhone and I have no problems from day one.
Meh
This app is buggy. The overall Gabb experience has been clunky.
I like that the phone itself has no social media and looks like a "real" phone.
However, this app is constantly notifying me that there are messages for me to review, but when I go to the app, there may be nothing, there may be 10 new messages. There is a lag time between the message on your child's phone and the message appearing on the app.
Phone calls are not logged on this app. I think I have to log in to the Gabb website to see that. There is also a separate Gabb app to track my child's phone location.
The fact that I am logging into 3 different things to get full use of the Gabb phone is awkward and annoying.
Not safe
We have been using the Gabb watch and were satisfied with that. So we decided to upgrade to the Gabb Phone 3 Pro. The new phone prompted us to download the Gabb Messenger Parent app to control contacts and messages. Since the upgrade, we have not been able to sync our approved contacts to the Gabb phone. The Gabb phone has been able to receive phone calls and text messages from unauthorized phone numbers. I have spent hours texting Gabb support over a period of a few days to try and fix this issue, with no avail. Don’t try to call, the number is at its max and will not even put you in the waiting cue. At the moment, this product is not safe for my child to use, and it seems that no one on the Gabb support side can help.
