This app has never worked like it should and keeps getting worse with each upgrade. Location defaults to approximate if the phone is unused for a period of time (like overnight). When the location changes itself to approximate, then notifications don't work. Approximate Location is accurate to within a couple hundred yards, which is effectively useless. My child can easily bypass or remove the child app from their phone. It's obvious you don't care about helping parents keep kids safe

Sorry you are having issues with the app. Can we suggest you open a ticket using the in-app help center? Getting a ticket via the app, provides us with the supporting information like phone number, model, OS etc. You can also check back in the help center for response to your issue. This can be found under the More, Help &support, Send Feedback.

I agree with most others. The new updates are awful, especially the location function. It doesn't show real-time location like it used to. I wish I could go back and use the previous version. If this glitch isn't fixed, I may cancel and look for an alternative app to use. **Update 12/18/23. The location function seems to be getting worse. I'll be looking for a new app after the holidays.

We strongly recommend pairing the child phone with the Smart Family companion app to get a better location. You can also go to https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/verizon-smart-family-faqs/#location for instructions on how to optimize location accuracy. If you still have issues, can we suggest you open a ticket using the in-app help center?

I have been very patient, had this app a long time, have two teenagers. I have come to the conclusion, it is not worth it. Its location portion is not accurate, it disconnects connection on its own, kids can delete or disable app. Currently, my son is punished and I am trying to restrict his data usage but it is again not working. I am sure the answer is to re-install, which I have done, just too frustrating. Wish it worked right, it is a good concept.
