Smart Family Companion Software

Most of these reviews are children venting that their parents set limits on their access to the Wild West. Many are just seemingly upset that they can’t be “normal”.. sorry to tell you kids but just because there are lazy parents out there that turn a blind eye to their kids doings doesn’t make your parents overprotective or abnormal. Yes all you kids need to learn lessons and you will whether you have this app on your phone or not. Boundaries are necessary and every generation needs to set some. For me and my kids those boundaries are a bedtime, be where you say you will be and stay off of garbage on the net, there is nothing unreasonable about that and if you think it is you are probably a child. I chose this app after being a parent that “trusted” my child and I got nothing but lies and issues for over a year. Kids don’t like boundaries especially when they see all their friends without any, but they are NECESSARY to create a healthy home. If this destroys your life then it’s time to reevaluate yourself and your goals in life, not your parents.

Ok. All the reviews on this are either parents who believe that all kids are irresponsible or kids who think they should have no boundaries. Hate to break it to ya, but neither of you are right. Kids should absolutely have boundaries, but that doesn’t give adults the right to assume that all kids are irresponsible. This app is good for monitoring, but I agree that it should be used in moderation. If your kid has had issues, then go ahead. But you should NOT be snooping around kid’s personal lives unless you actually think that they are up to something. It is EXTREMELY psychologically and developmentally hurtful and if you still think it’s ok, just know that you’re raising kids with trust issues, lack of respect, resentment, anger issues, abandonment and privacy issues, and the lift goes on. If you’re a child who feels violated, remember that your parent is only doing what they think of best, although it may not always be. If you’re a parent who is going to use this app, please remember that your kid may not always be as “bad” as they seem and that being more restrictive will only make them more likely to misbehave. The more rules that are implemented, the more likely somebody is to break them.

So this app is overall very good. I enjoy being able to send my parents location check ins and stuff along those lines but it’s really annoying as a child. Most children are on here ranting about how much they hate it but I don’t hate it at all! It’s just annoying to have. Today I went to download Snapchat. A app most kids have now a days. But it won’t load it won’t allow me to message or do anything. And I hop onto google and it said vnp can cause these problems, I was just going to simply turn it off set up my account and then proceed to turn it back on, because again it’s not a bad app and I do not mind it at all. It won’t let me switch it off. I get why it does this but really. And when it turns off for like the split second it shuts down Bluetooth, WiFi, and cellular data. It’s also annoying because it notifies my parents when I arrive home. It just gets annoying when my mother and father scream their daughter is home when I arrive home. It’s a good idea but I just wish I had a little more freedom. But I do recommend for younger children!
