Easy to set up
I love this app. Let’s me set a schedule that automatically cuts her phone off from usage and automatically allows usage again later. Blocks whichever type of sites you want
this is not the way.
listen, i’m a kid. i know that most teens need a screentime, probably including myself, and also monitoring. however, this app is NOT the way. Completely blocking your child’s internet access at night sounds good in theory, but what happens if there’s an emergency? You can’t even use google. Sometimes it blocks searches in the daytime, so god forbid they have to search up a hotline while they’re home alone. God forbid you’re choking and they need to search up how to do the Heimlich maneuver on you past their bedtime. There are also practical issues that I’ve encountered. They won’t be able to. I just spent 7 minutes trying to search up breakfast recipes. I tried four different browsers, restarting the app, restarting my phone, reloading the page, giving new wordings. I still don’t have my breakfast recipe and it’s not past my bedtime. This isn’t even the only time this has happened. I tried to search up the lymphatic system and it blocked my search. Same with how to do a pull up. I can’t search for an egg recipe on youtube. Hell, even my PERIOD TRACKER app, even the planet fitness app, is not loading, even when i’m supposed to have internet access in the daytime. I tried sending a message in my family whatsapp group 4 hours ago, and it still has not sent. I can no longer connect to my home wifi, and i am forced to use only cellular data about 90% of the time because the VPN messes with the wifi signal. I have to do my homework in the basement, as my school issued iPad that used to connect to my hotspot (which no longer works because the VPN messes with it), only works when in the same room as the wifi router located in the basement. I used to be able to fall asleep quickly while listening to classical music, but because of my bedtime, even music doesn’t load past 10PM. I understand wanting to set a screentime for your kid. I really do. But this is just not the way.
L
Sometime don’t work
Stops working
Every month it stops working for my stepson’s phone. I spend hours trying to fix it. Think I have it works for awhile and then stops working ugh.
Mediocre tracking
Mot good for physical tracking. Doesn’t pinpoint destinations, routes traveled, time at at destination etc. App control, screen time and content control for children is good.
Family secure
This app really helps me and my family if something happens to my family then I will use it to know we’re they are
One more price gouge
I should not have to pay a fee to set limits on my child’s phone.
System shut down
For some reason when I’m staying at home for any length of time, the system shut down. When my wife checks on my location, it acts like I’ve locked her out or turn the system off. I’m not sure why it’s doing that.
Familia
No good
It’s has potential
This has potential to be a great app but the child can disable the VPN anytime they want. So it makes the app useless. Other when it actually works and the VPN is connected it’s fine. Plus the VPN limits YouTube?? Why.
Great App
Great App
Doesn’t work for flip phone
Loaded to be able to make sure my 98 year old father was safe. Said it works for flip phone, the only thing that works is the billing. Trouble turning the dang thing off.
Inaccurate location
The app shows inaccurate locations instead of showing where the location is it shows it several miles away.
Location
Most of the time it’s not showing the correct location. Can you make it more accurate
Child’s First Phone
We have been wanting to get our ten year old a phone for communication reasons due to after school activities. But have been hesitant, this app makes me feel so much better!
Random
Disconnects from VPN randomly. Holding our child’s iPhone myself untouched and within a day exclamation warning about ‘Device has been disconnected from VPN…’ even when his phone has not been used. Reconnecting child’s phone gets tedious.
Inaccurate
Very inaccurate, I often get locations miles away from where the phone actually is. Right now, I’m getting a location 16 miles from the actual phone location.
Child Profile Suddenly gets disconnected from Child’s Phone
Child Profile Suddenly gets disconnected from Child’s Phone after iPhone update, caused all settings to be reset, and the parent had to set everything back up again after rejoining the child’s device to the family profile.
Price
Is $7.99 a month the only option to subscribe or are there different plans?
Slow
It’s extremely slow and it updates location hours later. We’re both home, connected to wifi and giving this a try and I must say- it’s really bad..
Can’t use apps kids need
I am a parent who wanted stronger controls over my kids phone usage. I also downloaded a chore app that uses the internet and want it to be always available. My kids cannot use this app even when I turn off all settings.
It’s ok.
I really liked this app when I first installed it, because there are certain things that you can block , and it makes my child’s phone safer. However, the limit of 20 blocks is just not enough! And the domains run constantly, even if nobody is online. Like my child can go to sleep at night and by the time he wakes up in the morning and turns his phone on his entire timeline is domains. We wanna block them. And every time I see something new I need to block, I have to remove something o already have blocked. Please add more blocking spots. It should be unlimited due to so many new sites popping up daily.
Works great
I went from Life360 to this! Much better and cheaper couldn’t be happier
Glitches
This app keeps telling me that it is unable to complete your request please try again later. I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max. I am the only one in my family having this problem. I am also the one who downloaded the app and set the family up. If this problem persists I’ll be deleting the app the last time I had this problem with it, it took me about 2 full days to fix it.
Accuracy
Only 50 percent accurate.
Total control
Omg! This thing works so great. Wish I’d gotten it sooner. I have total control of my kids phone and can see all of their usage, what sites, apps and games they were on and for how long. Best of all, is I can shut it down with the push of a button!!
The app is not working
I’ve been using the AT&T security family app for the last two months and all of a sudden today it doesn’t work at all. I called AT&T pro tech-support and they said there’s something wrong with the server now I can’t even talk to anybody. I can’t even connect to my family members to make sure that they’re safe. The child app on their end works and doesn’t work. They can’t even see. Because the parent app is not working at all.
Delete their phone backups when installing
I recently found that my daughter found a way to delete app on her phone. I was racking my brain because she wasn’t going to tell me. Until I realized they just restore the phone from a backup prior to the app being installed. Go into there strings/ Apple ID and turn off back ups and delete all previous back ups. This will ensure they can’t restore and delete it. Once that is done you can turn automatic back ups again and the app shall remain.
AT&T Charges For What Verizon Gives For Free
Family location services are free on Verizon, but AT&T wants $7.99 per month? Seriously? This should be free. Especially for top tier accounts.
as a kid I had this app
Heya I’m tori a victim of this app. My mom installed this app on my phone after finding my discord account. It has installed three viruses on my phone within the first day. I won’t wish this app on my worst enemy. Now when I log into anything or google anything all I see is gore or p0rn. I hate this app with a passion parents please don’t give your kid this app. Now I’m stuck cleaning out everything this app installed on my phone.
ATT customer can’t even subscribe?
Maybe their update the app since it’s 11:30pm California time - still why take my money on a 30 day trial when the app will not install or open? Seems typical AT&T — and this comes from a 20yr customer.
