DO NOT BUY
I bought this watch for my eight-year-old daughter who wanted to start doing the bus run by herself.
Nearly every single function of the watch has given us grief and now after only one month of use - my daughter doesn’t even wear it anymore.
I set the watch to tracking frequency every 5 minutes and the watch went flat before lunch. I changed tracking to every 10 minutes and then 30 minutes. Watch again went flat before the day was over. I then had to change tracking to 60 minutes because this is the only way the watch is able to get through...Read more
the day. I set up ‘safe zones’ and the alarm goes off every 10 minutes saying that she’s left the safe zone when she was in fact asleep in her bed! The tracking function doesn’t work at all. It tells me that she is on the opposite side of town when she’s at school and things like that.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Very Helpful
I sent an email to have my sim cards suspended during the covid-19 lockdown. Within 10 mins I had a reply from Allih confirming the suspension was processed. Very fast and polite. Thank you.

Worst customer service
I have used this for a week for my son. Location showing 6 km some where in the bush, when he is with us at home. Moochies still deduct $$ for the service which we dont use.

Great product
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! It was delivered quickly, was easy to set up, worked as described and when I contacted them for something through their website my request was actioned by Andrew shockingly fast and without any messing around, 10/10 for customer service.
The company has been delightful to do business with and I will be recommending them whenever the opportunity arises :)

Poor app and product quality
Purchased the moochies watch from Kogan and my first experience setting it up was dreadful. Downloaded and installed the Android app to my phone. Attempted to pair the watch. It failed to pair. Then I tried to pair again and ended up with two watches paired. Pairing was successful on the third attempt. App crashed while I was using it. I then tried to call the watch from the app interface and the watch kept rejecting my calls. I tried calling from the watch to my phone and it worked ok. Tried calling from outside the app using the normal phone ...Read more
interface and it worked ok. Conclusion the app is buggy. The build quality of the product is not like the photos on any of the website. It is cheap plastic. Even the screen is plastic which will be all scratched after a very short time. The UI on the watch is very laggy and takes a long time to respond, something you don't expect in this modern age. Location does not seem as accurate as stated on their website. Call audio quality is also very poor. I regret purchasing this and will returning it for a refund. It is cheap quality which will not last more than a few months. There are much better watches out there.1 comment

Not suitable for everyone.
Bought a Moochie watch for my son with high hopes. Their website says it has GPS but this is a deception. It doesn't connect with Satellites as the name suggests but rather uses cell tower triangulation which is completely useless in an area that has poor reception and hardly any cell towers. On their website it clearly states, "Track your child at any time. Anywhere in the world." A straight up lie because it won't work in 95% of Australia. Their is no warning on their website that the watch requires a good voda phone network. If that was clea...Read more
rly mentioned I never would have bought one. I emailed them about my issues but because I purchased the item second hand they didn't even email back to me. Even though I believed I was purchasing the item brand new in box. They couldn't even confirm with me if that was the case or not. I just wish I had seen these reviews before I purchased. Item likely would be good in a good service area as it has not had any physical issues but almost none of the functions are reliable due to the poor reception.1 comment

Quality not great for price
Area where watch band joins watch rusted out in less than one month (after getting wet once! Replaced through Kogan on warranty with no issues though, which was good, but did require a complete change of sim etc which was a pain). Extra band is a complete waste of money and is very poor quality compared to the main band. GPS location is sometimes great (within meters) and sometimes very poor (as in: across the other side of the state, or occasionally a different country altogether). The website lacks the functionality to change sims / delet...Read more
e sim plans and is not located at all in the app (which it should be). The “class-mode” functionality is set in 30 minute blocks which does not fit with our school. At one point, an alarm was set on the watch that we could not control in the app - again, full app control should be possible. For us, the two positives are that it states the best waterproof rating of any watch tracker for kids and that it has allowed us to communicate with our daughter when she is in times of high stress. Will I buy another for my son? Yes - but only if no other manufacturer has the same waterproof rating at that time. Otherwise, I’m jumping-ship.1 comment

Hi Sarah, we are very sorry to see this review. We are in the middle of developing a self-service portal where you will be able to change your sim plan and update your account details, however at the ... Read more
moment only we are able to change or update your sim plan details ourselves via you requesting this on email, we truly apologise if this causes you inconvenience and we do appreciate your patience with our portal which we are currently in the process of creating to make things much easier for you and all of our customers. We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the class mode settings and rest assured we plan to upgrade our class mode feature so you will be able to set any times you wish, we really do appreciate your patience with this also. In regards to the GPS, our Moochies watches can only give an accurate GPS reading if the Moochies is connected to strong 3G Vodafone signal (for our Australian customers) and if it is connected to strong 3G EE signal (for our U.K. customers), and only once both watches are connected to strong 3G signal it will then show a reading of 5 to 20 metres of accuracy due to the watch's small antennae. If the Moochies is in a location where there is weak or no 3G Vodafone/3G EE signal, then the GPS will not show its location accurately, due to weak connection with the 3G network. The network is sadly beyond our control and it is never our intention to cause you any inconvenience. Hope this clarifies things and please do email us at [email protected] if you have any more queries and we would love to assist you with any other queries that you have.

Do your research, pay a little more for a lot better
I never post reviews but we've had a terrible experience - as it looks like many have. Worked great for a couple of weeks then as soon as we tried to connect to a different WIFI nothing would work properly. Apparently this is because I'm in Regional Victoria and we are 'black listed' however they allowed us to pay for and receive the watch to our home address. The run around to get to a refund was immense & I had to be quite horrible & pushy to get to a place where they stopped being defensive and actually tried to help. The multiple cut & p...Read more
aste defensive responses that repeatedly told us that we were 'doing it wrong' and all their bad reviews were from people who don't pay attention and are doing everything wrong.... please stop that. It's frustrating, time wasting and you end up admitting that your product isn't always suitable so please just be helpful! Certainly wouldn't recommend, we now have a Spacewalk that we are very happy with, and everyone we know with kids are also very happy with. Pay the extra to save the angst.4 comments

The network issues are sadly beyond our control - our Moochies watches work just like a mobile phone, for example if you were to take your personal mobile phone into an area with little to no coverage it would also experience connection issues. Our Moochies watches indeed work perfectly if it is in an area with strong 3G signal.

ere not reading instructions properly and basically 'doing it wrong'. Massive waste of time, you made me get forceful, I even had to request a specific support member that others who had left semi-negative reviews had said they FINALLY found assistance with. PLEASE start being responsible for your short-comings and if you are able to send me a map with a blacked-out area - DONT ALLOW ME TO BUY IT! Simple as that. Your company was neglectful, then kind of insulting (your pre-made responses make it clear you get a lot of complaints) and please don't make people have to waste so much time and get forceful. Yes, we are waiting on a refund but it has been a terrible experience, waste of time and there are better products out there. Hopefully people don't make the same mistake. Don't need other little kids being so disappointed with their Christmas presents.MoochiesMoochies

oochies up and running for you. Additionally our team had never stated to you that you were "doing it wrong", they had only ever sent you instructions and trouble-shooting to try their best to help you. Prior to you purchasing with us, Emma, we sadly cannot predict where you are based to let you know to not buy the product, as of course this is impossible. As already mentioned, your personal mobile phone and all mobile phone devices will lose signal if it is an area with weak network/signal. To clarify this for you further, if you were to purchase a normal mobile phone which is locked to a network that has weak coverage in your area, it also will experience connectivity problems, and it is not possible for companies to predict this and let you know this prior to you purchasing. The majority of our customers are happy with their products as they are indeed in areas with strong 3G coverage and this is what is needed for a mobile phone/device to work perfectly. We clearly advertise that our Moochies watches are locked to our 3G sims that run off the 3G Vodafone network via this link: www.moochies.com/aussims and we clearly advertise this on our website so we ensure to make our customers aware of this prior to purchasing and customers can also check themselves via the Vodafone coverage checker which we have also applied on our website as shown via this link: www.moochies.com/aussims if their addresses have strong 3G Vodafone coverage to help them determine whether or not to purchase our products.

I bought this watch for my 9 year old Son as a Christmas gift, after setting the watch up for him he wanted to wear it but couldn’t switch it on as the function button had come off, I sent an email to inform the Support Team but nobody had replied so after a few weeks of waiting I sent another email and had a rapid, professional and efficient response from Andrew who was very supportive and friendly he told me to send the watch back and I will receive a new one, now I have one very happy Son :-)

On our 3rd generation of watch, more impressed each time. Can honestly say that they are constantly updating to iron out identified kinks. Customer service is second to none (Andrew is a legend!), couldn’t be more impressed. Our latest watch arrived 24 hours after purchased online and we’re already using it to video chat with friends overseas. Fabulous on every level :)
