Memuat Family Link parental controls flh.release.1.76.0.H.509584921.trampoline 3

Very poorly designed. When it's bedtime or you run out of time, you can't do ANYTHING. No camera, no flashlight, nada. Also, this app removes some of the helpful digital wellbeing told built into Android. You aren't learning to use tools yourself - you become reliant on a system that will soon disappear. Apple's Downtime is a much better system, and Google should take a clue! UPDATE: checking school email is once again availible. See edit history for details. Still trash 🙂

I do not mind being monitored. What I do NOT like is that in emergencies you cannot text or call. It is laggy and drains my phone's battery in a matter of an hour. When you reach the limit of an app and go on it the next day, it takes a long time to re-unlock! I once had to wait literally 30 minutes for an app to re-unlock after I used my time on it up the previous day. Then one day I could not get on my phone at all! It said "Time for bed. Come back tomorrow at 6:00". This is a saftey hazzard!

It's honestly really bad, it drains both the parents and child's battery. Not only that when the parent locks it there's no warning so if you are working on something you can't save it. Then there's the fact u can't listen to your voicemails when it's locked. Not to mention it makes the device severely slow

This app is great! Other than the fact that you have a certain amount of screen time, have to ask for every app, can't uninstall it, that it keeps track of your location, it drains some your battery like your battery doesn't matter, apps are blocked, and that when it locks you can't do anything; play music, use the camera, text, or even call anyone. Other than the fact that this exists, it's a great app! 😊

The blasted thing has caused so many issues, not just for me, but for my parent as well. It continually bugs out, crashes, and makes it extremely difficult to accomplish anything even if they permit it. It took her almost an entire day to get something to work and it still didn't, it's an absolutely terrible app that I would advise against downloading.

Okay, I'm just going based on the app information. Yes, it locks the phone as necessary. That's infuriating. Yes, it can put screen timers on apps. Those don't reset the next day (you've got to be frickin kidding me). Yes it can track location. That absolutely devours limited data. What is wrong with you people???

Honestly, you must be pretty insecure to create an app like this. The app glitches all the time and never shows the location. You can only use apps for so long and your phone locks and unlocks at a certain time. Most of the time when my phone's locked, I can't call anyone. Not even the police. The app doesn't always show everything needed. If I could give it a zero, I would.

Watch out. If your phone has this parental control system in it, it will definitely have issues. In some cases, not having the web browser kept certain apps from updating. Uses three quarters of RAM. Really slows down the phone. It takes a full minute to open phone app and dial. The one time my phone factory reset, I required "parent's permission" to log back in (it crashed 4 out of 5 times parent info was entered). I spent two years with this. It's a dumb system.

My phone worked great before my parents installed family link. I have given up trying to argue my way out of installing this app. Yes, it constantly tracks me, and when I got my mom to turn off my location, I wasn't able to look at the weather for my location because it got turned off. I have no control over what apps use my location. I'll agree with my mom's reasons on why there needs to be location on, but I don't want apps like Facebook, Instagram, etc. using my location. Also, I have noticed that the software on my phone is having issues. (Although this isn't proven) I believe that it is family link effecting my phone from being factory reset when I need to. I really don't recommended this app for anyone unless it's really needed. We need to create trust and communication, not toxicity and secretiveness.

Very clunky and unecessary. It's default settings are hard to remove, and often damage educational capability. The need of parent permission to do most basic things heavily slows down much of the functionality of the device. Removing default settings is a hard process, and more hassle than needed. Generally, I find it stops being useful once the child turns 13 as that is when school becomes more digitized and it could become a problem. For younger kids, it is capable.
