Useless for me

I have tried numerous times to make this app work with my Netgear Orbi. It’s compatible. But it’s the app that’s useless. I subscribed to premium features to schedule WiFi downtime parental controls. I cannot find any way to access these features. When I click “premium features”, it takes me back to the purchase page. When I click Manage and “My Account”, the app crashes. Every time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have rebooted my phone. Still the same. Can’t find any thing in “Help” that applies. “App support” just goes to an error page. Cancelled the subscription immediately. Would love to hear from some customer service.

2nd devise

It is extremely difficult to log in unless you have ultra-fast internet or are connected to Wi-Fi. There is no web-based access; you have to constantly monitor who is trying to connect in order to grant them entry. If you happen to turn off your phone or your IP address changes, you won't be able to log in to grant access. You really need to have multiple phones—or perhaps tablets—running the app just to be able to grant access.

Response from developer

We would love the opportunity to assist you further, please email us at help@meetcircle.com and our support team will assist you as soon as possible. Thank you !

No longer works and should be removed from the App Store

Worked okay for about a year then stopped. No way to reactivate it so had to cancel subscription and delete the app. Netgear should withdraw it from the website and let customers know as it appears it’s no longer supported.

Doesn’t work

Won’t work at all! Can’t even get it started. Sure hope I won’t get billed!
