    Literally gets rid of my apps and blocks WiFi and has no tutorial or manual to guide us through how to fix this dumb app’s issues! Delete this app immediately!!!

    Unable to allow sites through the app. Used to be easy to approve, but unfortunately runs into an error. Every time I try to approve one of my kids requested website. Tried moving the app and reloading, but still has the same issue. Seems to be related with a recent update.
  • Not worth it

    Fix all of the issues with this app. It’s not worth the money and gives us so much trouble with the web, search, and location mainly. They never work. Says location services have been turned off when they definitely have not been. Super frustrating ! Looking into other options now.

    I canceled Norton family parental control three years ago when my kids turned to adults. I am still receiving Regarding an activity on three computers these computer computers, no longer exist. Norton’s only solution is to log into your Norton family account And change the settings. I canceled the subscription three years ago, so I no longer have a Norton And there is no way to cancel these stupid emails coming up twice a month!

    Works sometimes and other times it does not work. Although I have custom settings on what category to block and not to block, it sometimes blocks a category that should not be blocked

    if i could give this negative stars, i would. this app has given me so many issues. sometimes it takes my apps even when my parents have it set for them to not be taken, and i just sit there and have to disable my account for norton and whatever. it’s such a pain. if you love your child and don’t want them to hate you don’t buy this app. it has made me so angry to the point i pull my hair out and throw my phone. it also turns my vpn off and my location and web protector at random times and i get in trouble for it when it wasn’t even me. this app has quite literally ruined me and my friendships because all of my friends will have fun in their phone and i just have this app that does absolutely NOTHING for the human race. whoever created this is obviously somebody who hates life and wants to put kids into a serious depression and isolation. i really hope you make a good decision and decide not to buy this app because it’s a waste of money and the most pointless thing ever. are you going to go to your grave and be like “man, i’m really happy i put restrictions on my teens phone.”? no. you’re not. so don’t buy this app. for your sake and your child’s sake.

    I’m a technically savvy person and find this app difficult to understand. I’ve set specific rules around websites and apps that are allowed. In spite of the specificity, the app blocks everything. In the end I have to either enable supervision or disable supervision to keep any parental control.

    My goal was to keep a check on my kid was doing on his laptop. After some time Norton monitoring just quit working or my 12 year old figured out how to get around Norton. Even when it was working it was too clumsy to use it.
