User Reviews

User reviews show Norton Family Parental Control is trusted and intended for multi‑child screen‑time management, with security cited as a strength. However, the majority of feedback focuses on reliability and usability problems: frequent glitches and inconsistent behavior, repeated website/URL approval failures, a difficult setup and ongoing management, children potentially bypassing protections or uninstalling the extension, and several iOS/app‑sync issues. Support experiences are mixed, including refund problems. Overall, users perceive solid protection in principle but demand a much sturdier, easier‑to‑use product that actually enforces rules without constant workarounds.

Pros

Seen as secure and trusted by users.
Great for managing multiple children’s screentime.
Parental-control levels (block, warn, monitor) provide flexible options.
Designed for centralized family monitoring across devices.
Norton brand association provides reassurance.

Cons

Frequent glitches and unreliable performance; the app often stops working or blocks unexpectedly.
Website/URL approval often fails or blocks despite being allowed.
Difficult setup and ongoing management; not user-friendly.
Kids can bypass protections or uninstall the extension.
iOS app syncing issues and missing child accounts; login problems.

This app contains to try to force me to set up another child rather than allowing me to monitor the activity of the children that are already registered in the app. Why would that work flow even be in the parental app. Always have to fight my way through the online portal rather than using this app wish they would fix it so we would just work.

It flags websites that are safe, flags websites my kids aren’t actively using, blocks access to websites they need for school. Currently kid is locked out from a website for submitting a discussion post and I went to check and Norton says he’s not even being monitored. Other apps to a better job with less frustration.

My child requested for allowing websites and that doesn’t get affect even though I add it to allow list . It’s frustrating especially while his class is about to start and needs this access.
