User Reviews

Users report Microsoft Family Safety on Android as a potentially useful tool for supervising kids, especially for cross-device management and a device-lock feature. However, the majority describe persistent reliability and usability problems: apps often fail to function or load slowly, limits don’t apply or sync, sign-in loops hinder setup, the UI is cluttered and confusing, and updates introduce regressions. Overall, its strengths lie in features and intent, but reliability is the major recurring issue.

Pros

Cross-device parental control management (mobile and PC)
Easy to use and manage
Generally useful for parental control tasks
Device lock feature is a key capability

Cons

Frequent reliability issues: app often doesn’t work, is unresponsive, or slow to load
Time limits and approvals rarely apply or sync across devices and apps
Sign-in/out and device provisioning problems with consent loops
Non-intuitive, cluttered UI across platforms and settings
Post-update regressions and inconsistencies across devices

Ridiculous that you've now removed the ability to change xbox screen limits. Now you have to jump through hoops to add more screen time and there's no notifications. Typical Microsoft and xbox making anything involving accounts far more complex than it needs to be.

App is useless, you no longer have access to add time for Xbox players or change settings, pushing you to use the website!! it was all easy and straighforward with the app. Looks like someone removed the head and thought using a cabbage!!!
