Required for parenting teenagers
I originally had the first generation from T mobile but I upgraded the modem and it was not supported. Within days I found the Circle Plus version, I am now back up and running. This prevents arguments when my kids test the boundaries or simply become apathetic teenagers, with the press of one button their electronic devices are off line. No debate at bedtime because it is on a schedule. Also, if they do dishes, clean the room, or mow the yard, you can reward them with extra time. User-friendly interface, and the new model is much easier to setup and identify the devices.

Circle Review - Excellent
The app is been super helpful with managing multiple devices with three kids. Also very user-friendly. There’s no arguing when they reach their programmed bedtime.

Helpful, but tedious
I like the time controls this allows, but the system is a little frustrating. I find it difficult to keep track of many things and rewarding for good behavior is an annoyance. I try to increase my sons time on Fortnite, but his online game time is 1 hour, making me have to add that reward so he can actually play Fortnite, then he has a total internet timer set at 2 hours, so if I want to let him play Fortnite more than 2 hours I have to also give him a reward for that. So, I have to do 3 rewards to give him a little extra time on Fortnite. Or I have to take off time limits on all but 1 of those 3 things. The other issue is how it tracks “online games”. For instance, my son left his Xbox on while we ate dinner. He had played 15 minutes of Fortnite, but when dinner was over he was locked out because circle counted his time connected to Xbox live as “online game” time. So then I either have to increase that time limit or set it to unmanage. The system is a little cumbersome, but a heck of a lot better than my distracted inner clock that will allow my kid to play games for hours on end. I’d definitely recommend it, it’s a great system, but not as magically controlling as I’d envisioned in my mind when I bought it.
