FamilyMode is the all-in-one family safety solution that can help you locate your family in real-time and improve online habits for your kids across devices. From pausing Internet access for dinner, to rewarding good grades with more screen time, FamilyMode helps make digital parenting easier.

We’ve added some new features:

WORRY LESS ABOUT A LOST DEVICE
Find a lost phone by ringing it

LET YOUR FAMILY KNOW YOU NEED HELP
Send out an SOS alert with the touch of a button

STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FAMILY
Check-in and share your location with the touch of a button

While keeping the features you’ve come to rely on:

SET HEALTHY DIGITAL HABITS
Set time limits for your kids, pause Internet access, or give screen time as a reward

STAY IN THE KNOW WITH REAL-TIME LOCATION
Know where your kids are and the path that they took to get there

SET CONTENT FILTERS.
Use pre-set or custom filters to help ensure your kids only see age-appropriate content online

Note: FamilyMode uses Google Accessibility Services API to enable parents to set up parental controls on their children’s phones to protect them from unwanted or dangerous content. No information is processed or collected using this API except for the purpose of blocking the content defined by the user.

Terrible. Hassle to manage, doesn't work half the time, I finally got rid of it. I used this for a couple years to monitor my kids' phone usage. It sort of worked. But I spent a lot of time troubleshooting, etc. Every once in a while, it would update or something and the kids phones would have to be set up again. Location worked sporadically, there's a limit to the number of sites you can blacklist manually, the filters for adult content have lots of missing URLs. More trouble than it's worth.

This app causes the phone to slow, it drains the battery WAY quicker than normal, and it doesn't even work properly. Tracking the location doesn't work as it should, the Wi-Fi blocking doesn't actually block the Wi-Fi, it only slows the phone down (which is done as soon as you download the app). To top this off if you want anything to work you must restart the phone everytime something isn't working as it should. I wouldn't be surprised if I need a new phone after this.

Hard to set up. Took it to TMobile for them to set it up and they couldn't figure it out either. Find out it's not just me, the app is scheduled for an update on May 24th due to others unable to set up as well. As of the 27th no update. Been paying for months and never been able to use it. Thanks TMoble. I recomend getting a different app, this one is terrible.
