While helpful, the program does allow for a more sophisticated child to work around certain settings. In particular, if you have screen time limits, your child can easily bypass these by changing the time on the phone - the app does not prevent the child from changing system settings, but instead let's you know and tells you that the limits you have put in place are no longer working. Same goes for any other critical setting. The app should block anything that isn't automatically updated.

Rubbish. Crashes daily. Location wrong. Doesn't unlock when suppose to. Work around sussed out by kids that weren't even trying hard! What's even more annoying is seeing the same issues reported a year ago and nothing improved. McAffee you are no better than anyone else. Were always my preferred option. Not anymore.

Program failed to sync between the kids activity and updates in both my cellphone and laptop Family Safe apps. There is a significant defect in the app/software, which given the recent poor reviews it is recieving may require scrapping the complete software or going through a complete makeover in line with other successful softwares that are doing what they are supposed to be doing.
