Pingo by Findmykids 4+

At first I was not sure about this app. I’m 12 years old and I didn’t want my mom and dad violating my privacy. I don’t care about that anymore though because I know that they can protect me. If u ever get lost they know where I am . The only thing I very much dislike about this app is it uses so much of my battery. Before I had the app downloaded my phone had too be charged almost every 2 days now I charge it like 3 times a day. Other than that I enjoy having this app to know that my mami and papi can know where I am.🫠

Hey guys….. I have had this app for almost a year now. And today was the day I found out “ALL” the features included in this app. I am 16 years old. This is ridiculous. I don’t drive. I’m not a bad kid. I have straight As and I’ve personally never really went behind my parents norms. I was with my friend talking about silly tracking apps when I told her about this app “Pingo” and she wanted to know what it was including the special alarm feature for safety reasons. she wanted to get this app for her and her boyfriend and we went to check it out, when we came across several 1 star reviews talking about how you can “listen” to all your child’s conversations and see the content on your children’s phone in the special subscription. Don’t get me wrong this is a app that’s beneficial, but only for kids between the ages of 5-8 anywhere near 13+ feels absolutely wrong. Parents I get that you want to check your child’s location, but there’s completely no use of trying to get a app for all the other useless features included. Teens need their privacy and that’s important because of their development. Parents should not be going as far as to looking at their child’s content and listening to what they say. That is beyond insane and invasive. Please get help if you believe that this app creates any sort of benefit for you. This app is a scam . Do not recommend.

I just got my 12 year old daughter a phone, and as any parent would I wanted to make sure she was safe and not doing anything she shouldn’t be doing. I thought this app would do just that. Nope! Do not get this app. Of course as any rebellious tween would she deleted it. I am so disgusted. After she deleted it I decided to fully read the privacy policy and what the app was tracking/ the data collected on her. Her voice, MY voice, her dads voice, her siblings voices, and her friends voices were being monitored 24/7! I also saw that one of the software developers is from China! I am all for keeping my daughter safe but this is 100% not the way. This app is complete garbage and she isn’t safe because of this app. It has unlimited access to my speech, texts, and activity, so i deleted it myself. This app is a scam and putting kids at risk for a number of reasons. I have let my co workers, and kids parents that this app is dangerous and they should not get it. I believe that small tracking apps are beneficial for my kids safety but this app is not it. Please do not get this. It has all my information and could leak it at any time and put me, and my whole family at risk. Do better, and stop trying to take advantage of young kids.
