When you open the app, you get a panel that shows all the information for the selected child. If you have more than one child, swipe to the right in the top window. Here you can send messages to the child, call or pull up a map with GPS showing where the child is. Under the child's profile, you can set Contacts, Alarm and School mode. Under the cogwheel at the bottom right of the app, you can set your own profile settings such as email, phone number, password, name, get support via Xplora's website and see terms of use and privacy settings. Under the icon at the bottom left you can sign up both yourself and your children for Xplora’s Goplay campaigns and adventures where you can win cool prizes and earn lots of Xplora Coins, which can be used in the Marketplace, Xplora's own digital store and auction.

Contacts
You can define up to 50 contacts in the app. These will appear in the address list of the child on the smartwatch. It is then only these chosen ones that the child can call - and just as importantly, only these can contact the child! On this, you have control over who your child can have contact with, and it provides complete security in terms of unwanted calls. To set up contacts:
- Choose which child you want to choose contacts for (if you have more than one, you can swipe right and left to change which child's smartwatch you manage).
- Press the menu option called Contacts on the far left . Here you will also see the number of contacts associated with the clock, if you have already entered these.
- You will now get a list of all approved contacts. At the top, it is shown who has the opportunity to manage the smartwatch.
- To add a new contact, press Add new contact at the top.
- Fill in your name and number. Add a photo by tapping the red circle with a camera icon at the top. You can choose to take a new photo or choose from an album on your mobile.
