About this app

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

Going to the dentist because of a cavity is not something that 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 for 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!

Pros: Cute. Has lessons on brushing. Lessons can be skipped as needed. Can track brushing done manually. Can give credit days after event (most of the time). Con: Child did a second, touch-up brushing one night to tidy a couple of missed spots. It didn't require a full cycle, but the app only registered the partial cycle, which shows up as a missed cleaning. It will neither let credit be requested nor given. Suggestion: Allow parents to credit brushings without having to request credit first.

My kids love this brushing app, but the technical glitches are a major pain point. The streak countdowns frequently reset to 0 for no apparent reason, even when we brush daily. This leads to tears and frustration. Additionally, it's incredibly frustrating that the sparkly profiles can't be transferred to new phones, forcing the kids to start all over again. These issues significantly detract from the app's overall experience.

The app is great for getting kids excited about brushing teeth, but I have a couple of issues with it. This app is perfectly content to let you just turn the brush on and walk away. My kid learned they could be less attentive with brushing resulting in worse dental hygiene. The other big issue I have is I swapped phones that this was installed on and there is NO Transfer profiles option that I could find resulting in an upset kid who lost their "friend" Sparkly and their progress.
