Comments on Google Family Link for Android

★★★★★ Matei Bulugea · Jun 15, 2026

This app is wonderful if your kid has an exam, and you want him to study more. I have this app and I feel more ready for the exam than ever. I improved my level A LOT. But if your kid hasn't got an exam it really is useless. It just turns your kid against you over screen time. Just let him spend time on his phone after a tough day at school, or during a high stress period. It will help him calm down a lot. Be an understandful parent, let your kids also have some freedom. This app is a punishment.

Amazing app, I set a 30-minute screen time a day for my son, and he found new hobbies. Like cooking, he brought a knife to his room and haven't come out since. I still have to make him clean the ketchup leaking from ender the door as soon as he comes out ❤️👍 I suggest for everyone!

★★★★☆ Hasan Santoso · Jun 6, 2026

The function to allow app to open unlimited time while the phone is locked is nice, but I would like to allow apps in limited time while the phone is locked not while unlocked like what happen now. IMO there is no point giving limited time uses of apps while the phone also in limited time. Overall these apps is good.

The app has been lagging when I try to lock or unlock my children's devices. It used to work great, but now it's just frustrating annoying.

I like how your parental control app (with the 1.5 review) is just not there so other parents won't see it it's hard just actually responding to the problem instead of going to the app and writing feedback (reviews are feedback) just admit that parental control is hated by ACTUAL TEENS UP TO 13-18 IN HOMESCHOOL parents please look up Google parental controls (it's a blue kite similar to this) and see the truth

Genuinely the worst thing to have happened to my childhood. For any parent thinking about downloading this for their kids, just don't. Teaching your child that you have control over them at all time, especially with a sensitive thing like a phone will most likely lead to them becoming untrusting and detached from you. I know because this has happened to me and every single one of my friends who got this forced on them. This is not a healthy way of regulating your kid.
