Rizza was very patient and worked with me trying everything to get an app to show. We finally got it. Thank you for all of your help.

We love pinwheel, and so do my kids! They only had flip phones before this. Thanks to pinwheel we can have some control over the phone while teaching the kids about setting limits on apps and appropriate smart phone usage. All while we have the safety of knowing the kids cant get on the internet. And at night we can shut it all down so they can sleep. Thanks pinwheel!

So far pinwheel has given me a great experience. It has the apps needed for everyday living and some for hobbies. The customer support always gets back to you really fast and they do an excellent job at resolving your issues. If you are looking for a phone that does not have pesky addictions then go with this one!

Love being able to text support. I have had two issues where I needed to reach out for support, and both times the issue was resolved without delay.

So far, 6 months in, I am happy with my 12 yo daughters pinwheel phone. There have been a few hiccups, it is definitely more work than just handing your kid an iphone and setting up 'parental controls.' (Hint: apple parental controls don't work! Quick google search verifies.) Certain apps that require a sign up are kind of a lot of work because it must be done from a different phone and then login on the pinwheel. Sometimes it is a hassle but I've always been able to figure it out eventually. The pinwheel monitoring uses quite a bit of data so we had to go with an unlimited plan instead by the gig so that was a downside. The phone has weird notifications frequently that are nothing, which is annoying. And lastly, since I'm not familiar with samsung I have had to google how to do certain things on the phone but because of the pinwheel restrictions, the typical samsung things don't work so it's a bit of work to figure out. (Like shutting down apps.) But for the peace of mind of making sure my daughter has REAL parental controls, is only allowed certain apps, and certain contacts, is so worth any hassle we've encountered so far. And for the hassles I haven't been able to figure out on my own Pinwheel support is awesome. Their live chat is very responsive, quick, and helpful. I've been happy with the app selection so far as well. Only one app that I wanted was not already in the library/unable to be approved. Overall would recommend and will get one for my son when he's ready for a phone.

Pinwheel has been a lifesaver for our family. We purchased two phones and have been very satisfied with the operating systems, the parental controls, and the customer service. They are prompt, kind, and always willing to help.

There's no price on my child's safety. I can't think of anything more important when giving kids tech than keeping them safe. Thank you, Pinwheel!

Pinwheel is a great phone for children. There are way to many unwholesome things that are not age appropriate on a regular phone. This phone allows for age appropriate safe guards. There customer service is excellent as well. A parent's must for a great phone.
