Key Features:
Kids GPS Tracker: See your child's real-time location on the map and review their activity history for the day. 🗺️ Ensure they stay away from unsafe areas with this reliable locator. You can even connect a kid's smartwatch for enhanced tracking capabilities! ⌚
Sound Around: Listen in to what's happening around your child to ensure they're safe and sound. 👂 This feature is activated when the tracker is installed and set up on their phone, providing an extra layer of security.
Loud Signal: Send a loud signal to your child's phone if they've misplaced it or left it on silent. 📢 Never worry about missed calls again! This also works great with GPS watches, helping you locate them quickly.
Screen Time Manager: Monitor which apps your child uses at school and prevent them from playing games during class time. 📱 Pingo can act as a comprehensive parental control app, keeping them focused on learning. 📚
Notifications: Receive alerts when your child arrives at school, gets home, or reaches other predefined locations. 🔔 Stay informed with timely notifications from our parent tracker app.
Battery Control: Get notified when your child's phone battery is low, reminding them to charge it promptly. 🔋 This feature extends to kid smartwatches, ensuring they're always reachable.
Family Chat: Chat with your child in a secure chatroom with fun stickers and voice messages. 💬 Keep the lines of communication open and make staying in touch enjoyable.
While you can view your child's online location for free after connecting devices, other features have restrictions in the free version. To unlock the full potential of Pingo, a subscription is required. 🌟 If your child doesn't have a phone, consider connecting a kid's smartwatch to our GPS watch tracking app for similar benefits. ⌚
Pingo requests permissions for camera access (to set up an avatar), contacts (to fill in the phone book in the GPS watch), microphone access (to send voice messages), and accessibility services (to limit screen time). 📸📞🎤
