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

This app constantly loses lock settings and resets time limits. it does t update when setting new time limits and doesn't keep devices locked when done manually. Defeats the entire l purpose of the app when it is very hard to impose limits on devices
