It was great at first. It doesn't have all capabilities with an iPhone which wasn't to big of a deal with us. I tried to get this on my daughter's computer which it said that it could but we never got it done. After the trial period I tried to set up paying month by month payments. They took my money but I cannot access the app!!! I have emailed with no response. I guess that is $8 I will never see again.

I have used other parental control apps and have never been as frustrated with an app that won't let you edit the things that matter. Please do not even try it. It deleted apps from my child's phone including itself and can not be reset. A "help" service that makes it hard to ask questions and harder to get useful answers. I'm going back to Google.

Straight Garbage, don't waste your money on it. False advertising, worthless, doesn't work almost all the time. once I paid for it. non of the controls worked. Stay with the free Google Family Link. Don't give money to this company. And even after a refund they charge your ass a year later for no reason. Straight garbage and will dispute the money with my financial institution as well. We have you cancel my membership I would hope you cancelled the auto renew but obviously you failed at that.
