    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.

    Absolutely waste of an app. Installed on a device and initially it works. The moment the Internet is off the app won't work, even if the Internet is reconnected. And I have the Mcafee premium subscription as well.

    Observed some issues with this app and it's worrying. Noticed doesn't lock all tablets when it's supposed to. I have noticed some devices are still unlocked and some locked from same profile. Secondly, there's no way manage devices properly especially when the profile user stops using a device. Thirdly, kids have found a loophole to bypass the admin and still log in for several minutes and think they shouldn't have access to admin settings at all. Fourthly, takes time to respond to request
