Norton Family Parental Control Customer Insights

1. If he leaves certain apps open (like Messager) he can still use them after the his time is up or in the middle of the night.I love the idea but absolutely HATE how the first click to check text messages doesn't work.

2. However, both kids' phones continue to get warnings though I don't.Was great for a while, now constantly getting alerts that permissions have been changed and accessibility turned off on my kids' devices when I have verified that neither is the case on all devices.

3. I always have to double check whether my child's device applies the settings correctly, especially if I make more than one change at a time (unlock and turn on supervision, for instance).

4. Second, I have verified, in real-time, that they are not turning off permissions or accessibility on both devices in question.I absolutely loved this app in the beginning (which is why the 3 stars).. but since updates I'm not very happy with it.

5. App persistently tells me one phone has location services disabled, even though it doesn't and can at least report in when the app feels like it.

6. First, these aren't 7-year-olds - I want them to be able to access the phone's settings when necessary.

7. one of the biggest features that attracted me to this was the text messaging monitoring.... with that feature being disabled, I feel as if I've almost wasted my money.

8. But it works well when it applies the right settings.Does not work at all.

9. The location service doesn't work.

10. Once, I've had to remove the app and reinstall it to get the location service to work again.

11. I tried using it because it is included in my Norton subscription, guess I'll have to pay for another subscription to get something that actually works.
