Love, love, love Pinwheel!

“I love pinwheel for my children! The customer service is outstanding! Literally, the best ever. I have yet to have a problem that they don't solve in 5 minutes. The phone is fabulous for kids. You choose what apps, what contacts and what times they can use the phone. Data or WIFI that works with gps apps, banking apps, school apps and more! Seriously, 100% satisfied with the phone, the company, the customer service!”

It looks like a regular phone, but without social media

“It has apps that have been selected by you and vetted by the Pinwheel team. It has been great for my teenage daughters.”

Someone finally did it!

“I can honestly say I’ve never been more impressed with a smartphone built for kids. This one has a HIGHLY curated list of apps you can approve, and set different modes throughout the day to open up different types of apps like music at night or reading during school. You HAVE to check this one out if you are in the market.”

Unhackable!

Pinwheel is an incredibly secure, customizable phone solution for families. It gave my kids exactly the tools I wanted them to have, and it has proven unhackable by teen and preteen peers. I can't recommend them highly enough. Pinwheel can do everything.

The right amount of oversight and flexibility

Having tried about 10 other programs (we have 6 kids) it was amazing to find Pinwheel. This phone finally gives the right amount of oversight and flexibility. Easy to use, flexible in adding new apps, but excellent in that their app library tells you when there are concerns, I am absolutely sold on PinWheel. And, as an added bonus, their customer service is top notch (real people real fast). If you want to help your kids avoid the traps of the phone age, Pinwheel is for you.
