Wingio Reviews 27

After a lot of research regarding a safe option for my daughter’s first phone, we decided to go for Wingio.

The phone is great, it’s a proper smartphone, so there’s no issues with standing out/ruining her street cred. However, the system allows you to control everything that goes on the phone easily from your own device. Wingio even pre-install your chosen apps so that saves you time.

We have been very impressed with the customer service too, it has felt very caring and personable from a small UK company. Even the brown paper packaging was nice, with a personalised sticker we requested that said ‘welcome to your first phone’. It was a lovely touch and made the whole thing a great memorable experience.

I would 100% recommend Wingio and already have to my friends!

Would recommend the phone to any one who is concerned about internet safety first class. Also the help from the team is amazing all round excellent experience

Before Wingio, we tried buying a phone and using a separate app service to control our child’s access to the internet and social media. But it did not work, as it was a proxy service that could be hacked.

After much research we decided to try Wingio as the software is installed by the company directly, it cannot be hacked and the child does not have access to the settings. So far, we are delighted.
Our child who managed to bypass both paid and parental controls on their previous phone, has tried, along with his friends to hack this phone, but cannot bypass the settings. The phone is secure!

They can call, text, access predecided, basic apps of our choosing such Duolingo and the weather etc. We have set a schedule when the phone cannot be accessed overnight and during the school day.

Therefore, in our opinion the phone and monthly subscription is well worth the money, so we have signed all of our children up to the Wingio phone and ongoing subscription.

Did a lot of research into lots of ways to provide a safe experience and this one stood out. You get a real phone that cannot be 'jailbroken' and you are in control of what the youngster can do and being able restrict phone numbers and apps is spot on.

Good Customer Service

Excellent aftercare and a fantastic way to keep our kids safe while using technology.

It seems a good app so far

really quick reaction the phone is now available to my grandson thank you.

Bought a phone from Wingio, their customer service is really good. Product is nice and fit for purpose. Highly recommend for those who are looking at controlled access to mobile phones.

Great and simple solution. Excellent customer service too

Fanastic user experience. Awesome! Must buy for teens.

The phone arrived very quick and was set up and ready to go out the box. The parent app is pretty easy to get to grips with and I am much more confident that there are no loopholes for my son to find as he did with family link. So far he has not been able to do anything we haven't allowed him to which is a first as before he would always find ways to cheat the system somehow.
The team are very responsive if I have a question or need additional support.
Definitely recommend, I plan to use them again for my 10 year old daughter when she is ready for her first phone.

So far my experience has been very positive.
Support is very quick to assist.

Very good customer service. I had a problem with the phone and this was quickly resolved by the company

Great experience and amazing customer service

Great app to keep your little ones safe on there mobile

I have been using a Wingio Samsung tablet for my daughter and it has made managing screen time and online safety so much easier.

What I really like about Wingio is that the device arrives ready to use with safety features already set up. There’s no complicated configuration, which is perfect if you’re busy or not very tech-savvy. The parental controls are managed through a simple parent app and, most importantly, they can’t be bypassed by children.

Screen time limits apply instantly, web content is well filtered, and social media apps are blocked by default. Parents control app downloads directly, which saves a lot of time and avoids constant approval requests.

The dashboard is clear and helpful, showing location, battery life, and app usage at a glance. For the monthly subscription price, I think Wingio offers great value for money and genuine peace of mind.

Overall, I’d highly recommend Wingio to parents looking for a safer way to introduce technology to their children.

The Wingio phone is an ideal choice for parents, offering excellent safety features like robust parental controls, screen time management, and real-time location tracking. These tools allow parents to ensure their children’s digital experience is both safe and balanced. With easy-to-use settings and the ability to monitor phone usage, it strikes a perfect balance between security and digital freedom. This phone empowers kids to explore technology while giving parents peace of mind. Highly recommended for families looking to protect their children in the digital age!

Honestly didn’t know what to expect, but the Wingio phone is working great. I like that I can see location of my child and manage apps.

I got a Wingio phone for my 12-year-old and it’s been a great “first phone” — safe, simple, and no social-media distractions. I like that the browser is blocked by default and I can control apps, screen time, and location easily. It works smoothly and gives me real peace of mind without feeling too restrictive for my kid. A solid choice if you want a safe phone for kids in the UK.
