I own a Philips Sonicare. This is about the one use that sold me on the app: seeing whether a kid actually brushed.

## What the app tracks

On connected models, the Sonicare app shows brushing time, coverage and pressure. Details vary by model. See [Philips Sonicare](https://www.usa.philips.com/c-m-pe/electric-toothbrushes).

## Tips for kids

- Keep it simple: two minutes, twice a day.
- Use the timer pulses as the cue to switch areas.
- Check the app's privacy settings before linking a child's profile.
