User Reviews

Overall, users praise Google Family Link for strong parental controls and location tracking, with school-use benefits. However, multiple reviews highlight reliability and usability problems: time limits can extend unexpectedly, tracking data may not save, updates may cause crashes, and the UI is not intuitive. Some users also report that restrictions don’t always prevent access, contributing to mixed satisfaction.

Pros

Strong parental controls: time limits, app restrictions, and remote device management.
Real-time/location tracking to monitor a child’s whereabouts.
Useful for school contexts: can manage when/how phones are used during school hours.
Overall positive sentiment from many users (love/great app, keeps kids safe).

Cons

Time limits are unreliable and can be circumvented: limits extend automatically, extra time appears unexpectedly, and there are glitches.
App reliability issues: activity tracking may not be saved and some permissions may not work consistently; updates can cause crashes or prevent opening.
Usability/UI problems: controls are buried in multiple menus and not easy to access quickly or intuitively.
Limits don’t always block desired content: kids can still watch videos or access restricted areas despite restrictions.

The app is stuck on the splash screen and has been for weeks. Deleting and updating the app doesn’t work. The app developer says to report the issue in the app but that’s not possible since it won’t open.
