User reviews

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.

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!

Doesn’t work

I actually paid for the app to give it a try and it doesn’t consistently block sites that are set the be blocked AND if I’m paying to see history of each device then it should save that information for a few days. Nope only a few hours. So am I suppose to keep checking history every few hours??? Seriously not a poorly designed and poorly thought out app. Shame.
