✓ LagginLagging and never work when I am in pause never have time and always change worst app.DanfranckyVersion: 2.15.0

✓ Circle.Hi. I’m a 10 year old girl, and my dad got this app for me. He makes my time limit 4 hours a day, which isn’t so bad. I have to do chores to earn time. If your parents don’t even give you an hour and you can’t earn anymore time then that’s very wrong. Circle doesn’t invade all your privacy I guess, like your texts and stuff. But your parents can see your history and all the links you go to. Which isn’t so so bad! If you aren’t gonna have your child only use like their electronic for 3 hours, and not be able to earn more time then don’t get this app. If you let them earn time and make their phone turn off at like 10:30 (depending on their age) and turn on at let’s say 6:00, that’s fine. But other then that, this app is frustrating but it has helped me from my phone addiction. :).Makaylah Dah MayaVersion: 2.24.0

✓ It’s to over controllingI am 12 years old I used to have a phone but it got stolen now I’m left with an iPad and my Xbox 1. Every second I want to search something up I feel stocked and I’m not making this up I’m dead serious, I text a friend who curses but he’s still a good friend he just has a little bit of a trash mouth, but when I’m about to go to sleep my mom busted open the door and let me state exactly what she said. “SO THIS IS YOUR FRIEND, HE HAS ONE POTTY MOUTH I DON’T WANT YOU TO TALK TO HIM AGAIN.” And man was I angry. One thing I need from this app is a little freedom. And the app works perfectly but too perfect. I think there should be a way for the child when they hit a certain to age for like the parent can’t see what they search up or the parent can’t control how much time the child should get. Developers please do something about this I’m old enough for the real world and I think my mom thinks I’m still 3. -by a wonderful 6th grader.MiddleSchoolMamVersion: 2.31.1

✓ Great for blocking devicesI use other software to manage apps and control screen time but this one is great for being able to just hit a button and turn everything off in the home.RazmtazVersion: 2.31.1

✓ No.If you are a parent reading this, please do not abuse your power with this app. many parents take certain privileges away when it comes to phones and it’s not fair. For some who are having a hard time with mental health, their phone is there only escape. Plus why look through your child’s history from an app when you can simply ask to look at it. As a kid i’m not trying to hide anything but sometimes it’s nice to respect our privacy. No child over the age of 15 should be controlled with this app (depending on maturity level) but by 15 your child should be responsible enough to know there limits and learn when to go to sleep, what not to do, how to be safe, etc. Thanks for reading all of this bye..🐶💕👑Version: 2.25

✓ Could be improvedFirst off I’m not parent using this to nany-cam their child as I am the child in question, although I will try to look at it from the perspective of a parent just take this review with a grain of salt. If you were a parent I can see the uses for this app (Thus the rating of 5 stars) as it can prevent unwanted materials such as violence or pornography from crossing your child’s screen. (As the child in question I can verify that it does a REALLY good job at this) Sometimes though you may want to allow you child to access X and not Y even though they are in the 17+ category. This can cause some issues though as let’s say your child needs to do a research project on the Holocaust but you don’t want the child to be at risk of seeing pornography… I propose that the developers add a “Custom” restriction so that the child my be able to access X but not Y. Although another thing that some may want added is the ability to chose what apps take up your time limit. For example it would be annoying when I try to do something in the settings app but it takes me 30mins to figure it out only to have 30mins left to do whatever else… In conclusion this app is great if you want to manage the material that might come across your child’s screen but, this can be somewhat infuriating from the child’s perspective as it adds a time limit to almost everything. Anyways have a great day!.BabyFace2827502Version: 2.28.0

✓ The best parent controlI have tried several routers with parent control.. This is the best one that I know...Nhanhuynh334Version: 2.31.1

✓ HORRIBLE APP!!!!!I am 11 so basically no one is gonna read this but, yeah. If a parent is reading this DON’T get this for your child. My brother and I use to turn off circle because we hated it (with a passion) My parents mostly got this app because, I had a problem with not getting any sleep for school cause I was staying up watching tv. They put this app on EVERYTHING. They first put it on my tv. But when my tv went off I would get my Nintendo. Here is what they have it on. My things: Tv, Phone, Chromebook, Old iPad, Nintendo. Brother’s things: His tv, phone, Xbox, PS4, Chromebook. My dad is a manic with this app. If I am being a “smart mouth” then he will pause me. Like I get circle during school. My bedtime during school was turn off at 9:30 turn back on at 7:00. Weekend it just turned off. But now in summer they still have it on. But the weekends are turned on and turn off at 11:30 turn back on at 7:00. My brother and I hate this app. My dad abuses his power with this app. I asked my mom when we can get circle off of our phone and she said “When you start paying your phone bill.” Well what if I can’t pay my phone bill in college? Are you gonna control my phone while I am in college? They put a password on circle so now we can’t do anything. If you went through my phone on my text with my mom while on summer break. You would be amazed at how MUCH I have asked for an reward..Phoenix_candyVersion: 2.23.0

✓ I like the appThere is a lot of bad reviews from the younger generation. I do want to add that my son asked me to place this app on his phone. This prevents viruses and the phone to open random links with explicit websites. I do however do not limit his internet time nor do I pause it randomly. We talked and when he’s mature enough then we can remove this app from his phone. For now an 11 year old should not have free range of the internet because then it opens his mind to things he should not be worrying about at this age. I feel sad for the kids who cannot communicate with their kids and set proper boundaries..JoeyohanaVersion: 2.22.0

✓ I’m a kid, but I like it!I am thankful that my parents have installed the app. I feel like it has protected me from a lot of bad things. I like how quickly my parents can unblock the internet as well. It’s easy to set up too. I have no iCloud storage left so things will uninstall sometimes and when ever circle gets uninstalled it’s so easy to set back up. My only problem is that it will make the internet run a fair bit slower. Probably because our devices are trying to keep up with circles settings so if you could fix that that would be AMAZING!! I also listen to podcasts on the Apple podcasts app and it will cut out at my bed time and my parents said they just unblock the podcasts app. So if you could make it so we can just unblock the podcast app I would appreciate it very much!!.GggiygbbvcgfcftVersion: 2.15.1

✓ Absolutely Love Circle!!!We have tried many different filtering systems but always come back to using Circle! It offers the most comprehensive and diverse parental controls we have found available. I know what my children are using on their devices and can monitor the amount of time spent on different apps/websites/etc. Has also paved the way for conversations when I’ve seen excessive use of certain social media/websites/video streaming. The older teens have actually appreciated having limits and bedtimes/off-times to allow them play time/break time on their phones without the stress of being sucked in and losing hours of study or sleep time. Has been a blessing all around for setting electronic device time-limits as well as blocking inappropriate material/specific websites for those struggling with internet/pornography consumption..Ginny76Version: 2.5.1

✓ It doesn’t work those dayTo be honest this app was great until few days I can’t open it and I deleted it and downloaded again but it doesn’t want to download.Um_alaeezVersion: 2.15.1
