User reviews

A little disappointed so far. Just started using it and have serious concerns. 1. GPS location is not accurate enough therefore making geo-fenced alerts not as useful. 2. After the first few tests, the BoT would not send message to my phone. Support asked that I enable/disable the "talk message" feature. I did and talk messages arrive now. The previous ones are lost and, if this happens again, how can my child communicate with me? 3. There are currently no avatars for people of color or blondes.

This one works perfectly, very basic and it does what it says - location + two way communication is fun. Brilliant that this app has English option (something lacking in other apps in Japan). Other solutions like "Mimori" do give much more options for the same price, including safety alerting about suspicious persons in the area. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase andu daughter loves it.

BOTトークを使用中。Pixel 8 pro (Android 13)では特に問題無いが、最近のアプリアップデート以降、Android 9~10の端末だとトーク欄には何も表示されなくなり、位置も数ヵ月前のものが表示されたままになって使い物にならなくなった。
