Got this for my 15 year old son. He used to use Gabb Wireless while in Middle Shcool, but now that he is getting ready to drive we need to him to have data so he can have access to Google Maps as well as other apps for school like email, etc. I definltely like how easy it is to manage his access with the Pinwheel app. The amount of information Pinwheel uses to assess the risks/safeness of each app they allow use to is helpful and there are quite a bit of apps that we can use at the time of writing this review (2023-07-29). Monitoring texts and use is also pretty easy because I can check it with the Pinwheel app, not that we do it all the time but having that readily available is useful.
Another thing I really like is the quality of the phone in comparison to Gabb. We got our son the Plus 3 (really a Samsung Galaxy S14 phone). It's a bit outdated but still leagues beyond what Gabb has and stands up to comparison to what most kids have today. Also, we use Mint Mobile (which is good, cheap service) and I liked that they had a partnership with them so getting the service going was pretty easy.
All in all it feels like he's using a real phone and gives him the last bit of help using technology at this level before he's out on his own in a few short years. I definitely recommend Pinwheel to others.
