Like the idea but has a couple of major flaws: 1) I have more than one kid, and there is no option to create separate profiles, 2) both of my kids figured almost immediately that this is just a simple motion detector, meaning that they can just keep the toothbrush in one place, move it back and forth a little and the game counts it as brushing. Does little to help encourage proper brushing.

Initially it was a hit and the kids loved it, but after a while it stopped recognizing the toothbrush half the time, so the kids got frustrated and lost interest. The toothbrushes were clearly visible on the screen, so I tried adjusting how near/far away the phone was, angle it was at, propping it vs holding it in my hand; none of that made a difference, it just kept not recognizing the toothbrush. Also, the timer is only 1 minute, so they have to do 2 rounds to get the recommended 2 minutes.

My son loves it, but it gets frustrating when the game randomly fails to acknowledge his toothbrush, so he starts brushing his teeth more vigorously thinking that the game isn't giving him points because he's not brushing hard enough. So I have to get him to calm down and explain that the game is merely lagging out and has nothing to do with his brushing. It would be nice if there were more options on the settings. At least an option to adjust the duration of a brushing session.
