Verizon Family Customer Insights

1. When I contact Verizon I'm also going to be requesting account credit to make up for all the time I've spent troubleshooting and the multiple times I haven't been able to see my kids' location when needed.fairly good app.

2. Will be moving away from Verizon and their ridiculous rates and installing different apps to do what this app is supposed to do, but never has done truly effectively.When it works it's great but when it doesnt,its really just pointless! There are times it works wonderfully and other times,it doesn't show any activity for days.

3. What is the point in paying the extra money for it to not even work?? It can be VERY frustrating at times!My 12 year old was able to make a new profile (her phone can have multiple users/profiles) that bypassed all filters and settings.

4. ☹️😩 Also, they just have to turn off their location which the app doesn't allow us to force it to come on and it makes the location a very large range and sometimes wildly inaccurate!When it's working right, I've been happy with it, but that's rare.

5. isn't that the idea of being able to see who they are communicating with? overall i like the app... needs minor improvements to earn 5 stars.it's absolutely terrible that my $60 Wi-Fi router allows me to connect to it from anywhere in the world and disable internet to one device.

6. Between the two times this app quit working over the past three months, I spent seven combined hours on the phone with technical support only to be told they didn't know what was wrong and needed to "escalate" the problem.

7. and why cant we have real time location updates on the map especially if the app is open? that seems like a basic feature for a location app.

8. Apparently they can't use any sort of battery saving option, so if they are gone all day (such as to school and then social time, then work) their options are to risk their phone dying or to use battery saving.

9. And it's so recent stopped showing both my kids accounts, so I am only able to view one of them??!! A real pain and hassle at this point, I'll probably cancel if this isn't remedied soon.

10. I get constant texts from Verizon telling me that content filters aren't working on my kid's device.

11. Now IF the app would automatically begin functioning once they charged the phone that would be one thing, but it seems we have to manually reset the app every time they charge their phone back up.
