About this app

Meet Sparkly, the colorful, furry creature who helps kids have fun while brushing!

Going to the dentist because of a cavity is not something kids or parents want to experience. When children used a Philips Sonicare for Kids toothbrush, 98% of parents surveyed said it’s easier to get them to brush longer and better*, and 96% brushed for 2 minutes or more**, as recommended by dentists.

Introducing Sparkly to your kids can help them develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

Kids who use the Sonicare for Kids app with a connected Sonicare for Kids toothbrush are:
• Motivated to brush better because they enjoy Sparkly
• Receive coaching on brushing techniques
• Collect rewards for completed brushing sessions, then earn gifts to dress and feed Sparkly
• Encouraged to brush for a recommended 2 full minutes with a timer in Gentle mode
• Challenged in a rewarding way with a game called Streak Challenge to brush twice daily

Parents will like that they can stay up to date on brushing habits by:
• Tracking progress in the Parent dashboard
• Choosing rewards or credits to provide kids
• Keeping track of multiple kids all in one place

Sparkly loves clean teeth, so download the Philips Sonicare for Kids app now!

* versus using a toothbrush alone

Just plain doesn't work, crashes every time now. No syncing between devices and obviously no thinking about long term usage. Same thing as always, smash Bluetooth into something, build a draft app and ignore. Digital product is as important as physical product. Brush is not at all adjusted for kids hands but just refular toothbrush with a sticker. If my son wouldn't love it so much it would be returned.

This app is a very good "idea" and has many pros. However, it's a real missed opportunity as the experience for the child becomes quickly disappointing. Over a long time there are various upgrades but essentially the rewards for sparky repeat too often and simply changing colours of the same items is very limiting. Feels like the app wasn't really user tested over longer (realistic) timeframes with small children. Updating the app to add more day-to-day variety could really help this experience!

The kids absolutely love the app and it encourages good brushing but it has a couple of technical malfunctions/bugs that annoy me and thus I'm giving only 3 stars. Most notably, the app is set to German but randomly jumps to English in between. Also the kids can request that the parent approves a teeth brushing that is not in the calendar. But this request never shows up for approval in the parental dashboard.
