AI-based Q&A feature for kids and a controlled app ecosystem.
Provides peace of mind and supports healthy parent-child conversations and gradual independence.
Responsive customer service and ongoing feature improvements.

Cons

App performance and reliability issues: slow loading, updates not reliably applying, and occasional downtime.

I highly recommend the pinwheel phone to any parent! We feel much safer with our teen being able to connect with friends, get in touch with us while being safe from the dangers of social media and endless scrolling!

I switched from Gabb and this is the easiest 5 star review I’ve given. The app is great and the customization per kid and per device is exactly what I needed. The app updates the kids’ devices instantly and is easy to use and reliable. I needed to leave Gabb because of the many issues I had the whole time I used them and Pinwheel has been the best moved I could have made! It’s better for me AND the kids!! I actually told them we were going back to Gabb and they were very unhappy with me lol

Pinwheel is great for my 4 kids. The older ones (14 and 12) have phones. No social media. I love the “nothing mode” which gives me the ability at any moment to shut off digital access entirely except for calling/texting family. My younger two (7 and 8) have Pinwheel watches. They love to ask the AI app about animals. They my youngest loves taking pics of bugs. I can see every text, even the rejected ones, on my own phone. That makes it easy to add somebody that was intended and to see the garbage that they’re protected from.
