User Reviews

User reviews largely describe Verizon Family Companion as flawed and invasive. The most common issues are inaccurate screen-time data, frequent glitches, and unreliable location information. Many express privacy concerns and trust issues, feeling overly surveilled. Safety problems are cited where the app blocks calls or texts to emergency services or produces false reports. A minority acknowledge the intended benefits (location tracking and app blocking), but reliability issues overwhelmingly dominate user feedback.

Pros

Location tracking of your child.
Ability to block apps on the device.
Parental-control features intended for monitoring and managing device use.

Cons

Inaccurate or inconsistent screen-time reporting (false high usage, timing inaccuracies).
Frequent glitches and instability that disrupt device performance or internet connectivity.
Location data inaccuracies or false location reports (says user is somewhere they are not).
Privacy concerns and feelings of being spied on, damaging parent-child trust.
Safety concerns: app blocking emergency calls or texts to 911/critical contacts.

Recent reviews

The hour or screen time on this is so inaccurate. It says I was on it from 12–3 am even though I was asleep and my phone wasn’t even with me. It’s actually annoying and it over exaggerates everything.

This app always glitches and makes my mother think that I did something with the app. Since she thinks this, I always get in trouble and my mother hates me now. If you want a relationship with your child, do not get this app.

I usually keep checking my son’s daily screen time on the family companion app, and this app constantly keeps showing me that my son was on his phone for 2 hours, even when I took his phone away. Not only this, the app keeps blocking his apps out, even when I enabled permission to use them.
