TeenSafe

Before I got Teensafe, I called their customer service department and got right through, no problem. Obviously I got it to monitor my teen's social media after discovering she said she was eighteen and she's in fact only sixteen. Also wanted the ability to find her using the phone location feature since we have Indian casinos in the area and I do NOT want her there! And if you pay attention to when your child is driving, you can tell if they are texting and driving - a huge bonus! Thanks Teensafe!

Basically anything your kid just wants to delete you cant see. If they use any browser other than the default browser for web activity you don't see it. Google does not work with this service which is what most people search on. Again... kids can simply delete any web activity they want and it wont show up on this report. While there are technical ways around most products... getting around this product is a joke for anyone. My kid isn't even trying to get around this product and the web activity still wont come thru as he uses Google. Not worth $14.95 a month. Frankly not worth working with even if it were free.

We tried the free trial but it is extremely limited so we opted to pay the full price for the app the second day.

Then we found out it won't block any apps our daughter downloaded or show us her web history because her phone has an updated version of Android. They were unwilling to refund our payment even though we did not get the services they advertise for their app.

If you have an ancient phone, this app might work for you, but if you are using a relatively new device, look elsewhere.

I am a 16 yr old girl that has teen safe on my phone. It is literally the worst thing in my opinion. My dad has taken the App Store off of my iPhone because he doesn't trust me what so ever. They say they are doing this to keep me safe but honestly that's not how it feels. I feel like I can't do anything and all the restrictions are just like a challenge for me to see what loopholes I can make. If you put this on your teens phone they are probably gonna think you don't trust them

I did not complete the set up, so therefore did not receive any service, never dreamed they would charge for doing nothing! That's bad enough, however you can only cancel by request. I have been trying to contact for months with no response. Now I must cancel my credit card so as to not be charged anymore. There are better apps out there. You can use iCloud alone for many of the services they offer without the poor customer service.

The service just does not work well for Apple products. It simply does not work as advertised at this point. I was very hopeful that this service would be a solution to keeping a protective eye on my kids. After numerous updates and time spent with customer support, I requested a refund for 1-month of the service and was denied. It really is unfortunate because I wanted to use the service long term, but now will start searching for an alternative solution. Sorry Teen-Safe, you're just not ready for prime time yet.

As a parent of two, my main concern is the safety of my children … all the time! But I also don't want them to think that I'm stalking them. So right away, after setting up my Teensafe free trial account, I talked to both of my children about what the service is and what it can do.

We agreed that I would stay out of their text messages, but that for their own safety I want to be able to track their location. And after using teensafe for over a week now, I have to say it works like a charm! I am able to see both of my teens' smartphone locations at any time, which gives me a lot of peace of mind (especially on days when I can't pick them up from training … or on weekends when they are out with friends).

My sister asked me why I wanted to spy on my child... and I answered pretty straight forward: "Dawn is my child and I am a responsible parent who wants to make sure her daughter doesn't get in trouble or posts indecent pics on social media." I was a kid too and know how vulnerable and how much peer pressure there is to do things (sometimes not the right things) just to please others. Well as a parent, I decided to take a stand and guide and protect my daughter if a situation like this arises.

The Florida school shooting has me thinking of how difficult it is to raise kids and keep them safe nowadays. I am a proactive parent and with a tool like TeenSafe I can monitor a bit more my child and who she hangs out with and what other kids are saying. It's a way to be part of her world from the outside and know when to act.

I have been having issues with my son as he is leaving the house on school days to meet with other friends (which I am not very fond of), and not doing his homework. He used to tell me that he was home while I was working, but I did not truly believe him. I decided to sign up for Teensafe so I could keep track and know his location when I am not around. By using this system I know now where my son is at all times. At first I had to ground him for lying. I told him other people were telling me he was not home (neighbors and friends), so he would not know I was using this App. It is a tough situation to handle, but at least Teensafe is a tool that can help me keep track of his whereabouts.
