“Incredible App”

Lusia H.

FamilyTime gave me my peace of mind. I work in double shifts and it keeps me updated about where my kids are what they are doing in point in time and when they reach back home. Two things I like most about this app is its SOS alerts and auto check ins and checkouts which I receive whenever they enter and exit places. I think with the payment of couple of bucks I'm getting a lot for locating my family. Well now I can understand why its GPS tracking specs are at hype on social media. I'd say you should definitely try it.

“ZERO STARS”

I have been chasing a promised refund since Nov 2020. Even if the app doesn't work, they will keep your money! Over 150 emails back and forth with the same reply template advising it was being refunded. They also try bribe you to not put a bad review up. See SOME of the many times they told me my refund was coming Do not join these scam artists!

I disagree with the negative reviews. The app is user-friendly and provides great value for its cost. I have had no issues canceling my subscription, and customer service has been responsive and helpful whenever I needed assistance. I would recommend this app to any parent looking for a reliable solution to streamline their tasks.

Very useful tool to eliminate conflict around usage. Chat support is amazing. Instead of asking for the phone, I just tell them I am turning it off.

I was having trouble syncing my chromebook, phone, and child's phone (androids) After talking with RICK (very courteous & helpful) I sent some screenshots & he helped me resolve everything. In the end, going directly through their site is best for managing settings on the parent side and also downloading from there on the child's phone. Past: Perfect, again! I had a silly question and Marc helped me immediately with professionalism and kindness. Strongly recommend.

I can see exactly where my kids are, block any apps I don't want them to use (a feature I am in and out of multiple times a day) monitor calls and texts, and tons of other stuff! Plus they have fantastic customer service! After trying multiple parental control apps I liked this one the most. It is on all my kid's phones. I would highly recommend it!

Awesome app. Its a must with today's advance technology. It allows the parent supervise and have the upper hand in what is going on with your child's electronic devices. With an android device it let's you see everything in real time. Its a must have. Highly recommend it.

I got good advises on how to install the app and how to make sure it works and won't be deleted on child's phone. Works limited when ipohe and android connection but works and is absolutely worth it.

Tip for consumers:
Ask for private help through chat in any questions.

This App is brilliant. It runs smoothly and provides all the basic security features I need. The premium version gives more in less money as compared to other parental control apps out there. Lessens your worries whenever your kids are out and about. This app has survived one phone upgrade to software releases and countless attempts by my children to bypass the app.

I used chatline to speak to Marc. He answered my concerns quickly and clearly. He offered me a discount too which was a pleasant Christmas surprise. Would recommend the chat if you have needs or concerns with the product.

Just got this and it is blocking everything that I need it to. The functionality is awesome. Needed to upgrade to premium so I could view texts, the chat support responded quickly and was very helpful.
