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
• Coached to improve brushing techniques
• Provided 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 in one place
• Saving game progress in the cloud and restoring on any device. Your child’s brushing history is saved so you never lose a streak.

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

Fairly good when it works, but usually doesn't. It's just a timer and a video that runs the 1 to 2 mins. Struggles to connect sometimes. Kids like it. But constant crashing, connection bugs, and constant streak resets. Been using it for months and have never completed a 14 day streak because it randomly resets even though they haven't missed a single brushing. Disappointing app. Especially for the cost of this toothbrush. Not worth it.

Some aspects have improved. HOWEVER, I was having an issue where it was saying I had to approve a toothbrush session but there was nothing left to approve. Since it said it was backed up, I uninstalled and reinstalled. Logged in and...it found no profiles. Now my kids get to start from scratch for likethe 3rd time. They are going to be so upset, they worked so hard and the progress is just gone.

Edit: they added a back up and restore which is great, but now the app has issues opening. and yes, I tried uninstall and reinstall. it's not helping. it keeps force closing. again. at this point it's not worth it to keep trying. the app has been great, but now keeps force closing. I contacted Phillips and the only way to fix it is to uninstall and reinstall it.. however if you do this, you lose all progress. my son is over 700 brushings. There needs to be a way to back up and restore data.

Apologies for the crashing issue, Angie. We're working on a fix that should be released next week. We've added a back-up and restore feature: please enable it to keep record of your progress and to be able to grant brushing credit after the fix is applied.Contact us on our website if you need assistance with this feature or have any other questions
