User Reviews

Users praise AT&T Secure Family for strong parental controls (blocking, scheduling) and location tracking, with peace-of-mind benefits. However, feedback consistently highlights reliability problems (outages, slow updates), VPN vulnerabilities (kids bypassing VPN), and location inaccuracies. Price concerns are frequent, and setup/compatibility issues hinder adoption. Overall, the app offers valuable safety features but struggles with consistency and cost concerns across many reviews.

Pros

Strong parental controls that let you block apps and websites and set usage schedules.
Location tracking for family safety.
Cross-app monitoring capabilities (watch chats and calls) as described by users.
Competitive pricing vs alternatives (some users say it’s cheaper than Life360).
Provides peace of mind for families.

Cons

Reliability issues: app frequently stops working or experiences server outages.
VPN can drop or be disabled by the child, undermining monitoring.
Location data is often inaccurate or lagging.
Price/subscription cost is a common complaint; many feel it’s expensive or not clearly priced.
Setup/install issues and device compatibility problems; includes slow performance.

listen, i’m a kid. i know that most teens need a screentime, probably including myself, and also monitoring. however, this app is NOT the way. Completely blocking your child’s internet access at night sounds good in theory, but what happens if there’s an emergency? You can’t even use google. Sometimes it blocks searches in the daytime, so god forbid they have to search up a hotline while they’re home alone. God forbid you’re choking and they need to search up how to do the Heimlich maneuver on you past their bedtime. There are also practical issues that I’ve encountered. They won’t be able to. I just spent 7 minutes trying to search up breakfast recipes. I tried four different browsers, restarting the app, restarting my phone, reloading the page, giving new wordings. I still don’t have my breakfast recipe and it’s not past my bedtime. This isn’t even the only time this has happened. I tried to search up the lymphatic system and it blocked my search. Same with how to do a pull up. I can’t search for an egg recipe on youtube. Hell, even my PERIOD TRACKER app, even the planet fitness app, is not loading, even when i’m supposed to have internet access in the daytime. I tried sending a message in my family whatsapp group 4 hours ago, and it still has not sent. I can no longer connect to my home wifi, and i am forced to use only cellular data about 90% of the time because the VPN messes with the wifi signal. I have to do my homework in the basement, as my school issued iPad that used to connect to my hotspot (which no longer works because the VPN messes with it), only works when in the same room as the wifi router located in the basement. I used to be able to fall asleep quickly while listening to classical music, but because of my bedtime, even music doesn’t load past 10PM. I understand wanting to set a screentime for your kid. I really do. But this is just not the way.

Mot good for physical tracking. Doesn’t pinpoint destinations, routes traveled, time at at destination etc. App control, screen time and content control for children is good.
