"i know that no kid will like an app that strips away all of there privacy but listen up if ur a parent. I have anxiety, depression, and a few minor learning disabilities. this does nothing but make life harder. It makes my anxiety worse when I`m not doing anything wrong"

"This app is terrible! My kids phone doesn`t work at all, what is the point in having a phone! Plus it tells me completely useless information. Use the Google app instead."

"It randomly says I leave a place like school though I`m there all day and every single day for about 3 hours randomly it renders my phone useless causing it to have me not receive calls or messages from anybody but one person and it`s a person I rarely talk to."

"I hate this app a lot. It takes up a lot of my storage. I get messages all the time like ``your web and app activity is being shared with your parent`` THAT`S LITERAL STALKING i get it`s for safety reasons but still that creepy. My mom made me download it incase I go to the mall with one of my friends and she waits in the food court and she can see where I am, that`s all she said she`d use it for, but she also yses it to check my phone. But it`s easy to deactivate."

"It does exactly what it`s supposed to do but it takes about 2 seconds for any competent human being to Uninstall. Parents, install this if you want an app that restricts your child`s device so completely that they cant do anything at all (except for unistall the app which is so easy an infant could do it)."

DESCRIPTION
Get to know the digital-you and partner with your parents with Verizon Smart Family. The Companion (or Child) app lets you see how much you use different websites and apps and with Premium, you can ask your parents to pick you up, send them check-ins, and find family members on a map.
Download our Companion (Child) app to your smartphone or your Android connected tablet and pair it with the Parent app to:
• Learn about how you use your screen time.
Select Premium to unlock map features:
• Check in
• Pick me up
• Find your family members
+++
Once the child’s iPhone or Android device is paired via the Verizon Smart Family companion app, the parent app can configure parental controls (iPads aren’t currently supported). If enrolled in Smart Family Premium, the parent app can also monitor location and driving history – for either a driver or a passenger.
What’s New:
• Simple, easy to use interface.
This app uses Accessibility services to support parental control features. Accessibility services are used to block children`s access to websites prohibited by parents and to prevent children from disabling other parental control features.
