This app sucks! I would give 0 stars if I could. Doesn't load, just sits and spins. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. this is garbage!
Can't even get the app to load after migrating from the Gizmo app (which worked perfectly, btw)
the app is complete trash when using it with a gizmo watch. Verizon forcing people to use this and scrapping the gizmo hub was a complete mistake.
USES WAAAY TOO MUCH BACKGROUND BATTERY. HARD TO NAVIGATE. How am I supposed to keep track of my child if it's killing my battery before I even get off work, not to mention i leave the house with 💯 battery.
User Friendly so far!!

I'm totally unable to access the app. It gives me a pinwheel for five minutes, then when prompted to select logging in with an Apple or Google account, pressing either button does nothing. I'm essentially stuck on the welcome screen.

Thank you for the five star review. We appreciate your feedback.
Verizon won't stop pestering me for my data. We were forced to move to this garbage to keep using our kids' Gizmo watch. The old app worked perfectly fine and it didn't have to harass me about permissions it didn't need either. This app keeps showing me notifications with empty threats about how I'm "disconnected" from Verizon Family if I don't cave to their data harvesting demands, like location data and contacts. Verizon, you don't need either of those, so stop harassing me with your malware.

We understand your concern and assure you that Verizon Family is not attempting to harvest data, but rather connect families who wish to share locations. Parent location sharing is optional and not required to use the app for your child's watch. Please message us via More > Help & Support > Send Feedback in the app if you need assistance.
