Circle 1st generation

I am a kid and my parents use Circle and i HATE it really hard So please delete this app forever

User in Belgium. Very regular connecting issues. Less than entirely satisfied!

I got the Circle by Disney technology in my Netgear Orbi RBS53 wifi mesh router. It works great and setup was easy. The most difficult part is identifying your connected devices which is mandatory to assign them to a family member, or your home. After a few days of peek and poke I managed to identify all 40 devices BUT there are a dozen devices that I physically disconnected during my setup (obsolete Airport Express, Time Capsule and devolo CPL plugs) and removed from my Circle device list and that seems to connect again every time I remove them from the app. Of course they are physically disconnected but there is a bug that have ghost devices resurect from the dead and disconnect. Also the Disney content in the MyCircle iOS app does not appear and return errors. Which is sad for my kids. All in all, this is a good product.

With Ios 17.5.1, circle stopped working. I did factory reset on my netgear and now circle is going in loop on screen Your Router is Compatible.

Worst parental controls I’ve ever used. Extremely difficult to set up. Then it can just lose all those settings randomly, so you have to go through the whole process again. Right now it isn’t working correctly at all. It’s like the clock is wrong so it blocks tv when it shouldn’t and works when it shouldn’t. I don’t see a place to set the clock, so I have to manage it manually. I can’t believe I am paying for this garbage. I’ve used much better free software on routers made by other manufacturers. Stay away!

Blocks unwanted sites but slows your internet down.

Do not use. They’ve long since closed this down. Do not pay for this service.

This is a great app WHEN IT WORKS. It seems like every 8-12 months it deletes all of my info and for a day or so there is no monitoring , I just happen to notice it when I tap in to control a device. What in the world!!? I use it with my Netgear Orbi as an included feature and still pay the $6/mo or so for the service. Seems there are other services that are portable and will back up my account so this doesn’t happen. Very disappointed that it’s not a consistent, reliable product.

Managing devices connected to Circle is horrible. Deleting devices that don't exist anymore doesn't work. I have about 15 devices that don't even exist and they're still listed. If you update a name to a device it just changes back to old one. Even after actually renaming the device itself and changing name in orbi app. I hate circle

While it is supposed to work with netgear router, the whole story of trying to pair them can only be described using very bad words which are not allowed here. Completely unusable and misleading thing with magic verifcation process taking you eventually to the payment page as the only option with unknown outcome.
