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.

my mom got this app because she thought the 1 star reviews were just kids mad about being restricted but the reviews are 100% telling the truth. this app is horrible and ruins your phone entirelybefore getting this my phone battery would easily last a whole day or two. now because of the unkillable background vpn this app forces on your phone my battery drains from 100 to zero in literally ONE HOUR bru Miku Miku oo eee oooo idc if low power mode is on it doesnt help at all. it runs a constant background loop that makes the phone super hot to touch and is completely frying my battery health like its actually dangerous šŸ˜”šŸ”„it also glitches everything like crazy. it constantly blocks normal safe websites like reddit or links for school throwing up scary "This Connection Is Not Private" safety warnings even though they are the real websites!! safari thinks the phone is getting hacked because of how invasive the verizon app is.and the thing is my parents used to just use standard apple screen time limits instead. it was SO much better and way more simple like it turned the internet off at 9:00 PM and had the app time limit at 10:00 PM. and it actually worked perfectly without ruining my whole device!! if i needed more time i could just hit one more minute or send a normal request to my parents phone and it was fine. it didnt glitch out or anythingforcing a broken app that physically overheats your kids phone and blocks safe websites doesnt protect anyone 🤬 it just causes massive screaming matches and completely ruins trust. if you actually want to protect your kids just stick to apples built in screen time. do not get this trash verizon app!!! āŒšŸ›‘ already wrote a review about how this garbage app fries your battery from 100 to zero in ONE HOUR because of the unkillable vpn loop but it gets even worse. if you look at the app store privacy details this app literally steals EVERY SINGLE piece of your data !! NO parent it takes your browsing history, your contacts, your personal info, and even your health & fitness data!! its literally spyware tracking your whole identity āŒšŸ›‘and the funniest part is it doesnt even work right!! it completely glitches out and shows my mom at a random location miles away from where she actually is standing 😭 if there was a real emergency my family wouldn’t even know where anyone actually is because the gps tracking is so broken and laggy.when apple screen time was on it never glitched my mom's location or ruined my battery health. it turned off the internet at 9:00 PM and locked apps at 10:00 PM perfectly. this verizon app is an absolute scam that just steals your data and breaks your phone. parents DO NOT GET THIS TRASH APPPP!!! šŸ”„šŸ˜” and I couldn’t call 911 with my asthma attack !! don’t get it
