  • Crashes all the time

    Any time I try to use the app to add funds to an account, it just locks up and crashes.

    I often get hit with the “It’s not you, It’s us” page. It sure makes the app worthless when this happens. Otherwise, it works.
  • Works but lacks features.

    Works well but lacks features. I’d like to see granting time without request and approval through notifications. In addition, I’d also like to see detailed usage reports of my children’s activities.
  • Convenient and efficient

    Providing a very convenient and efficient way for keeping a tap on the screen time and enabling a break in between sessions.
  • Family safety control works

    App works well most of the time and it gives you good control of what programs to allow and for how long. There are 2 issues that I find. First I’ve noticed a few times where it stopped working and would not stop the kids from using the pc. It resolved after shutting down system and login to the account once again. Second It will email you for every request and there is no option to remove the emails. The app gets the requests but emails can’t be stopped.
  • Love this app!

    Gives me peace of mind to be able to check in on what’s *actually* happening on my kids’ computers. My only complaint is sometimes blocked sites still slide through and some sites I allow and approve are repeatedly blocked. Other than that I REALLY recommend this app!

    Anyone concerned about their children’s online safety should definitely take the time to learn the ins and outs of the family safety app. It’s comprehensive, easy to use and feature rich. Highly recommended.
