Review on XPLORA X5 Play - Watch Phone For Children (SIM Free) 4G - Calls by Luke Hodes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work as advertised; non-working application.

Day 1 with kids watch and all the reviews were far from the truth. The battery lasts a day with moderate use. There is no video call function. External texting is difficult to say the least and my 9 year old daughter cannot initiate text messages to her grandma who has an approved phone number and profile on the phone. When connecting to an Android phone, you cannot associate pictures with watch phone number profiles. Music must be sent to the watch via SMS, there is no other way to get music on the watch. Other applications cannot be downloaded. Good. It tracks GPS accurately and calls approved numbers. Those two things don't seem to appreciate what this watch advertises. Update after 45 days. This watch is expensive junk. Friend and family I allow her to call, she still can't text. Also, the app crashes on my phone when I select the message icon. Hence it is useless. SOS is a notification and cannot send alerts such as tones, codes or signals. You will only receive the text as a notification. And since I can't access the text due to app issues, the SOS signal is useless. Two believe it allows calls and tracks location. If that's all you need, it's a crappy investment, get something else. UPDATE From Explora Tech Support: 1) X5 Play will not connect to Bluetooth. You can send files (songs, photos) via the app's chat. 2) You can send/receive messages, emoticons and pictures via chat function. The SMS folder is there in case someone sends regular text messages from the phone. Since it is not possible to send an SMS message from the watch due to the small screen, the child must respond using the chat function. 3) You can start a conversation using the chat option. Due to the above reason, it is not possible to send text messages from the SMS folder. 4) You can save a photo by long pressing it and then click "Save" to upload the photos to the gallery. 5) It isn't. You can download third-party apps to your watch. On the other hand, we have the O2 platform #GOPLAY, which allows children to convert their steps into virtual coins so they can play games and win prizes on our website: https://goplay.myxplora.com/6) None Our current models have a video call function. The fact of the matter is that these watches can basically only call and track the user. he is useless.
