"Pingo has been a total game-changer for our family. Living in a busy city, I used to worry constantly about my daughter's walk home from school. Now, the movement alerts let me know the second she arrives safely, and the feature to bypass silent mode is a lifesaver when she forgets to turn her ringer back on. It gives her independence and gives me complete peace of mind."
"Setting up Pingo on my son's first smartphone was the best decision we made. It acts like training wheels for his digital life. I love that I can check his battery level and see his route in real-time while he's biking to his friend's house. The SOS button also makes him feel much more confident exploring our neighborhood on his own."

Summary
The Pingo app garners overwhelmingly negative feedback, predominantly from child and teenage users, who criticize its intrusive features as a severe invasion of privacy. Many report issues with app blocking, audio monitoring, and unreliable location tracking, leading to feelings of distrust and anxiety. While a small number of parents praise the app's ability to monitor children's app usage, provide battery alerts, and include an SOS feature for safety, these positive aspects are largely overshadowed by widespread complaints. Users also frequently cite technical problems such as battery drain, inaccurate location data, app malfunctions, and difficulties with customer support and billing.
