Review: Great phone for my mother in-law. Very easy for her to use.
Review: The Jitterbug Smart3 phone is heavily marketed to appeal to caregivers buying a simpler smartphone for a loved one diagnosed with one of the dementias. My husband has mild cognitive impairment with short-term memory loss. He is still mobile, dresses and feeds himself, reads the paper, and watches TV daily. However, I was surprised to discover that the Jitterbug Smart3 actually is MORE DIFFICULT and TAKES MORE STEPS to use to make and answer phone calls, open and reply to emails, send texts, and listen to voicemails than on my normal Android smartphone. For example, for my husband to call me, he has to remember one of three ways to place a phone call. Make a Call Option 1: From the main screen, he has to tap Dialpad and then enter my phone number (including area code) from memory using the dialpad, then tap Place Call. Make a Call Option 2: From the main screen, he has to tap Contacts, find my saved name on the Call History list, tap my name, and then tap Place Call. Make a Call Option 3: From the main screen, he has to tap Phone, then tap Call History, find and then tap my name and phone number, and then tap Place Call. With his short-term memory loss, all three options proved impossible for him to remember and reliably perform, even with written instructions. Answering incoming calls is too complicated for him as well. When a call comes in from someone on his approved caller list, their name appears on the screen. However, to answer the call, he has to PRESS AND HOLD the Phone Icon button, then while pressing down on the button, push his finger up to Answer or down to Ignore. It's too many steps that must be performed perfectly in sequence just to answer a phone call. And don't get me started on how easy it is for him to accidentally press the red Urgent Response button that is at the top of the Home screen and is very easily accidentally tapped or pressed while working elsewhere on the Home screen. Once the Urgent Response button is accidentally pressed, it automatically calls a Lively Response Agent who then calls you on your phone first to ensure your loved one is actually having an emergency. My husband's palm or fingertips holding the phone accidentally pressed the Urgent Response button several times. There's no way to deactivate the Urgent Response button and once it's accidentally pressed, there's no way to stop the Lively emergency team from being contacted. This is a definite design flaw that there's no way around. Despite multiple practice sessions over several weeks, the multiple steps to complete the simplest activities on the Jitterbug Smart3 were just too much for my husband to recall and perform. It frustrated him terribly and it frustrated me too. I finally had to give up and buy him an even simpler phone that is much easier for him to use and is much more intuitive to operate compared to a Jitterbug Smart 3. He's now doing fine calling me and answering calls with his second simpler phone. If you think the Jitterbug Smart3 phone is going to be easier and more straightforward for your loved one with cognitive impairments to use, it is NOT easy and it is NOT straightforward. There are more steps required to perform the simplest phone actions than on my normal smartphone, and worse, the steps to follow are not intuitive. For someone like my husband with almost no short-term memory and logic processing issues, the Jitterbug Smart3 proved to be a complete waste of my money and time. I hope this detailed review helps you avoid the expensive mistake I made.
