Reviews around money (3.44 of 5)

  • It works great on my sons IPhone but doesnt work on my daughters Moto E and I cant figure out why.
  • Definitely not worth the money or aggravation.
  • I still love the device and think its well worth the money.
  • We expected this device to be able to control teen internet use and to have customer service with any issues but only control you get is knowing when they meet the time you allotted but does not shut off use until bedtime is setting is meet also not user friendly for away from home setting you have to add app to teens phone and of course the can delete so you pay for service unable to control don't waste your money when I called customer

Reviews around filter (3.40 of 5)

  • The filters are easy to setup and on Day 1 they worked okay
  • Letting kids earn extra time through rewards is a great motivator-preset filter levels seem sufficiantCons-When trying to view websites our kids have visited, the links don't always take you to an actual site.-when viewing sites visited by my kids, the hyperlinks are too vague to really know what they actually went to (Example: google.com, youtube.com, Hulu.com)
  • You can set age appropriate filters, track history, and individualize devices with the basic purchase - but if you want to set time limits, bedtimes, and other premium features it's going to cost you $5/mo
  • It’s quick and easy to assign the new devices to the appropriate filter.
  • It works great on my sons IPhone but doesnt work on my daughters Moto E and I cant figure out why.

Reviews around speed (1.54 of 5)

  • The biggest complaint was that it completely throttled our internet speed and kept stalling our modem
  • They finally sent out a technician today and finally had to resort to changing the name of the network and putting all the devices back on it, one by one, because there was no logical reason for the terrible speeds
  • If you're paying for "gigabit" Internet service, or for speeds greater than 100 Mbps, you may experience slow internet speeds as a result."So while the device itself is a really neat tool, it's not going back on our network due to this
  • Item does exactly as described, however, contnually drops internet and slows speed
  • It sort of worked but even then just slowed inet speeds way down
