Circle Parental Controls App

This was great, had it for years. However I couldn't get it working over the last 12 months and there were little avenues to seek help and support. My Orbi may be too old and the tech support is no longer available.

i hate this app so much, takes away kids freedom, and is overall a drag. you don’t need to cut someone’s full internet off, if u don’t want your child on certain apps at different times just set a time limit on apple. it’s awful and you can’t even download apps.

If you have an iPhone this app does exactly the same thing as the Screen Time feature, so why bother getting this? I also feel that you just shouldn’t allow access to the apps the child has spent too much time on, instead of just cutting out the internet. If you set bedtime, the wifi cuts out completely and the child won’t be able to use anything, even if it’s for something important. Some features are useful, like the focus time. But apart from that I feel this app could be a lot better.

If you want to bypass just go in settings, search vpn , then tap the info button and click delete.

My family uses this for our household and at first it was great. Then this last year (2024) we have been having issues with the timers not working. Then I got a new phone because my old one had shattered and was fixable. I downloaded this app to login and add my phone and to try to fix some of the setting issues with the timings and allowance for my kids/teens and now it just doesn’t allow me to login no matter what I do. So everything is locked down and none of us can access anything we need for schooling, or just entertainment because I cannot get on to add time for my kids or allow youtube or whatever else is needed. Definitely switching companies. Also there is no customer service to call to get help with the login and email has been sent and no reply. Not worth it.

makes me think of ending it all

i hate this because it is stupid and the vpn on phone can be easily bypassed. yes i know no one will see this but i dont care.

When there are more than a few devices on a given profile, the app becomes extremely slow. For example, apple devices can use privacy mode and thus create a new device each time they change their id. Deleting those old ones takes 30 seconds to a minute per device.

It works for what its for but when you try to send time rewards it doesn't work that well and it doesn't send and also it resets every like 6 minutes but it works fine
