This app helps me keep my sanity with my kids. I can set firm limits for their laptops. I haven't added it to their phones yet, but I plan to try that our soon.

Very helpful with controlling time limits. User friendly.

The worst and most convoluted method of spying on and tracking kids, pre-installed on computers and near impossible to work with. All online guides to help are useless, and the buttons do nothing.

Terrible

This app is terrible at approving extra time when the kids ask for it. I've approved it four times tonight and it still doesn't go through. Please fix it!

TRASH!!!

It serves my purpose. Thanks to Microsoft Family Safety App.

Great app but... It would make life so much easier if you could set screen time schedules on the exact time you want instead of just every half an hour.

Nothing works as it says I have tried adding my daughter to my family account, keeps showing pending, on her computer, she is in. I cannot mange settings, I do not get the alerts she sends. This app is useless. On the computer, same issues.
