Reviews: What People Think About BoT - GPS & Talk for Families

Rating: 5/5
The simple small device this app supports is the perfect gadget for tracking and keeping in touch with my pre-teen. It’s been especially super handy for tracking and communicating on the ski slopes as well as through all her extracurricular activities. There are no screens, so we avoid the extra exposure to screen time. As for the app, itself - easy to set up and easy to use. It learned and established the home area in about 4 weeks of use. The app can send notifications on departure from the home area or any other specified location, like school. The UI shows current location and history of locations in addition to battery status. Notifies when device needs to be charged well before battery fully drains. Communication is seamless between device and iPhones. There’s not any significant delay between sending and receiving messages. Though it’s not real-time, it’s pretty instantaneous. Both her father and I can monitor and communicate through the device. It definitely sets our minds at ease to know where she is and to have the ability to communicate with our little one in case of emergencies. It’s been a real value add securing our peace of mind.

I hesitated to give my younger daughter access to a smartphone after making that mistake with an older one during COVID. While the older daughter is way more responsible, there&#39;s a lack of impulse control control with this younger one. This app allows me to monitor and commnicate with my daughter through the BoT Talk device I funded on Kickstarter. It&#39;s perfect for emergency situations and has been key for a daughter who participates in a multitude of after school activities. We know where she is and we can keep in close communication with her especially in emergency situations, all the while not having to succumb to giving my daughter access to a smart phone. It grants us peace of mind.

The app itself is easy to use. Easy to connect my device to the app and everything worked as it should. The device and concept itself is great. Very well made and high quality. Worth the price I paid. GPS is accurate and the talk feature works beautifully. Really gives me peace of mind with my daughter. Only cons I’ve seen so far is that there is a monthly fee but it’s not much and to be expected since it is a service they are providing. Also won’t let you pay with a debit card. Had to use a credit card. Will update my review if I find something else I don’t like.
