Comments on Safe Family - Parental Control for Android

★★★★★ Jonathan Dickinson · Feb 18, 2025
Useful security and protection 5 star 👍😉
★★★★★ Mr jaycee Dad · Jan 2, 2023
Think this could do so much better with locating device if it gets missing. The interface is so much better than Google family link.
★★★★★ Melvin Stanton · Jan 22, 2023
I trust McAfee to protect my phone and laptop.
★☆☆☆☆ Julie Jones · May 9, 2025
Rubbish. Crashes daily. Location wrong. Doesn't unlock when suppose to. Work around sussed out by kids that weren't even trying hard! What's even more annoying is seeing the same issues reported a year ago and nothing improved. McAfee you are no better than anyone else. Were always my preferred option. Not anymore.
★☆☆☆☆ Jemma Goddard · Aug 2, 2023
Absolute scam. Doesn't work, and it is hard to get rid of as the Family Safe app goes through a 3rd party so Mcafee customer service can't help. They also set it on auto-renewal. Do not buy this app.
★★☆☆☆ Modupe Odedeji · Mar 13, 2026
This app won't let me remove the screen limit from my Child phone, her device doesn't even pop up I don't know what to do
