What a way to destroy a relationship

Let me start by saying I’m not a parent. Now let me go into how this makes me feel completely violated on all terms. A teen I should be able to have more control over what I do, and yet this app limits everything. It makes me feel less like a teen and more like a child being babysat by my parents. Personally, I think I speak for all kids/teens when I say this app holds a fast-track ticket to distant relationships.

Use alternatives

This app sucks, don’t download!! It messes with your VPN connection and slows down your WI-FI. If you want to track your kids location just use Life 360. As for screen time just use the screen time limits in settings. No need for this app, DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!

Horrible App

This thing is restricting Safari (I cannot use it for more than a minute a day) and I can’t play games, watch videos, I can’t even text or call people past 9pm. For multiple days this thing was even restricting PHOTOS. Also if I don’t have someone’s phone number saved in my contacts, it blocks me from messaging the person (same with emergency services numbers, it won’t allow me to call the police) this app is harming my social life and online life, I can’t even talk to my friends without feeling insecure now, “Secure Family” is ironic because this app makes me feel more insecure about myself. This app has 1.2 stars for a reason.

I hate this

I hate this and I hate my grandma always she do is keep texting me like I can’t do nothing with her alive

Don’t get this

This app is horrible, my mother downloaded it on my phone and I had to uninstall it just so I can open my text app, I was forced to reinstall it all because it’s cheaper than life 360. It ruins data, the phone is more glitchy than usual and my WiFi keeps randomly going out. Do not buy it <3

Sf sucks

This terrible app screen time is a reward now

Ts is kinda good

This makes you touch grass more

Why 1 star

It’s just cheeks fr

Horrible app for parents and children life 360 is better

So I am 14 and this app might be the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a while first they advertise this stupid vpn that shuts off your WiFi and always monitors you well I found out you can just disable it in settings so it doesn’t auto connect in like 20 minutes that baisically nullifies the whole app and the location part is the super off it said I was living 2 communities away and

VPN

I don’t really like this app because it requires a VPN and the last control app my father put on my phone also required a VPN and I couldn’t use any of my apps it would be as if i was offline even at home. If that could be fixed I would love this app.

Horrible

Horrible app.Ruined my rls with my mom because of trust.This app made me feel like she is all on me with cameras watching my every single move.She doesn't realize it but this app is horrible and genuinely made me hate being around her.She thinks it's "protecting" me but it's just making things worse.Also your internet goes off and doesnt allow you too Google stuff or anything.APP SUCKS DONT DOWNLOAD.

Hi

No Good

Chillax

Y’all need to calm down and go touch grass. These reviews are hilarious but get help 😂. It would be a problem if yall didn’t spend so much time on your phones lol. Read a book. Listen to a symphony. Learn to solve a Rubik’s cube. As a 17yo I’m saying this as nicely as I can: act your age, go get a job, go to church, and for the love of all that is holy stop complaining. This is not healthy. Btw the app works great 😂

I hate my life

Damn bro I’ve had suicidal thoughts bc of this app man, my parents make me wanna end myself, I would lwk end my life if i didnt go to hell🫩

Worst app

Worst app ever

This app sucks (edited)

This app sucks. It was made for children that just got devices, not teenagers that have the freedoms of having a phone without this stuff on it. I was forced by my parents to download this app and it broke me. I can’t really trust my parents anymore because of this. And plus, even if I uninstall this they’ll turn my phone into a paper weight because I can’t do anything. Again, this app sucks and from a teens standpoint, parents. Let them be free. Ps. I found a way to make your parents uninstall the app. Just spam the sos button like 100 times or something and they’ll get confused or something and ask you “why are you sending sos messages?” And just reply “I have no idea what your talking about” they’ll either take your phone or disable the app. Another thing is, read the privacy policy before you get the app parents, they will sell your private data to other companies
