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.

Great phone first phone for kids!

I really love this phone for my 11 year old. I had a recent issue (most likely my own user error) and customer service gladly fixed it for me! So far the product and the customer service has been great!

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. No web browser at all! But 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!

Such a wonderful way for kids to learn how to use a smart phone, with parent peace of mind
We have had Pinwheel phones for our two girls (ages 9 and 12) for 3 years now. They have been such a wonderful way for them to learn how to use a smart phone, while allowing us the peace of mind and control that they are not accessing inappropriate apps or content. As a psychologist and parent, I have been so impressed with the apps availability, I love that they can’t get on social media apps, and I have found Pinwheel customer service to be highly responsive and easy to work with when problems arise. Strongly recommend these phones for kids and teens of all ages!!!
