Features & Capabilities

Tin Can is a screen-free kid phone on Wi‑Fi that only calls approved contacts. No apps. No strangers. No doom scrolling. It’s about grandparent chats, playdate plans, and 'Can I stay five more minutes?' calls.

The Tin Can companion app gives parents (and only parents) behind-the-scenes control: approve who can call (and who can be called), set call hours, see call history, share your Tin Can with trusted friends, and manage multiple cans from one place.

User Reviews

Reviews praise Tin Can for its charming concept, easy setup, kid-friendly use, and responsive support. However, recurring issues harm usability: repeated login failures, app crashes, and server outages during high traffic, plus unreliable calls and contact syncing. When the system is working, it delivers a positive, family-oriented experience, but persistent software reliability and connectivity problems limit its effectiveness.

Pros

Easy to set up / onboarding is straightforward
Family-friendly and kid-focused experience (kids enjoy calling relatives)
Visually appealing hardware and app design with a cute concept
Responsive customer support, especially during holiday peak times
When functioning, the phone/app delivers the intended positive experience for families

Cons

Frequent login/authentication problems (login button unresponsive, failure to log in)
App instability and crashes, notably when managing contacts or during heavy use
Server connectivity issues and outages during peak times (e.g., Christmas surge)
Inconsistent call quality and reliability (calls spotty or sometimes don’t connect)
Contact import/sync problems (importing or saving contacts often fails)

Recent reviews

We’re new to Tin Can but I was surprised to see the app only had 3 stars on the App Store. The app is awesome so far. Setup was really smooth and I love how playful and colorful the setup is. Cheers to the designers on this redesign, I miss when software was actually quirky and delightful to use. Great work!

I think an update occurred that prevents you from seeing any directions on how to set up the phone. The FAQs on the website and the little brochure are the only directions that you have to figure out setup or that I could find. I have a flashing Tinothy button that doesn’t do anything. A dial tone but no actual call through. And I’m assuming if I have an external number in the app, I should be able to just call them?
