While keeping the features you’ve come to rely on:

STAY IN THE KNOW WITH REAL-TIME LOCATION
Know where your kids are and the path that they took to get there

SET CONTENT FILTERS.

Note: FamilyMode uses Google Accessibility Services API to enable parents to set up parental controls on their children’s phones to protect them from unwanted or dangerous content. No information is processed or collected using this API except for the purpose of blocking the content defined by the user. FamilyMode uses the VpnService API to enforce parental controls restrictions on child devices.

It's unusable. Just starts flickering on the login screen, and you can't do anything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I honestly might have to completely change Internet service over this. I have to be able to block specific websites from specific devices. I have kids. This is something anyone can do through the regular router admin page online. T-Mobile has that page blocked I'm guessing, and it forces you to only access their app. Fix the app or this service is not an option.

When the app works, it's good. More often than not, it gets a bug, it stops working, it stops giving location info (& when it is giving me location info, it's not exactly accurate). Right now it is infected again & won't even stay open. This means my kids can use their phones unrestricted, my teens can disappear with people they aren't supposed to be with, & I can't even fix that in the app. What the hell am I even paying for?! Fix this app b/c I'm betting Verizon can do better.

This app causes the phone to slow, it drains the battery WAY quicker than normal, and it doesn't even work properly. Tracking the location doesn't work as it should, the Wi-Fi blocking doesn't actually block the Wi-Fi, it only slows the phone down (which is done as soon as you download the app). To top this off if you want anything to work you must restart the phone everytime something isn't working as it should. I wouldn't be surprised if I need a new phone after this.
