2025-01-19 Obaloluwa Alright alright, i KNOW YOU ADULTS ARE THINKING "this kid is just angry that he watches his YouTube shorts in the middle of the night" BUT... its trash. LIKE HORRABLE, THIS BLOCKED GOOGLE SLIDES BECAUSE IT's A Business app (during a project my *** had TO SPAM requests to my DAD who is a GASTREOLANTOLOGEST DOCTOR AT WORK because of this), BLOCKS WEBSITES JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE UNCATOGORIZED, AND MAKES YOU HAVE TO CLOSE OUT ALL TABS JUST FOR ONE TAB TO LOAD. TO TOP IT OF WITH SOME ICING ON THE CAKE, accepting the request don't even work 100% PERCENT OF THE TIME. THE CAKE IS ALREADY READY, BUT WHY NOT ADD A CHERRY ON TOP, deleting the extension don't even work. SO, YOUR *** is stuck restrictions for the rest of your life, so once you install this, you pretty much guaranteed spam emails at work because your kid can't use google chrome because it's as a "business app", *Phone buzzes* needs permission for google.com like the **** isn't the same thing as google chrome that you just accepted.

2024-07-22 Lucas Ferramenta boa, assim que bem configurado funciona muito bem, consigo controlar tudo e monitorar todos os acessos. A amiga bianca aqui que não soube configurar e os filhos querem acessar o que não deve por isso a ferramenta não deixa as crianças dela em paz.
2024-06-18 Judah Even if im a kid, I do find it good from protecting from malicous websites but thats just that, Everytime i send a request to go into discord or twitter and netflix stuff, it gets approved but its still blocked even if it got approved, My PC is now nortoned including firefox and brave
2023-10-13 Johannis Norton Family heeft blijkbaar problemen met synchroniseren van de klok, want het staat bezoek aan beperkte websites toe onder schooltijd en blokkeert deze vevolgens na afloop. Nee, het is geen kwestie van verkeerde instelling, want aanvankelijk werkte het naar behoren. Ik heb niks aangepast en alles opnieuw gecheckt. De app vertoont idiote kuren.
2023-03-02 Spencer My mommy put this on my laptop and now im really mad at her.
2022-10-09 FISHER, not very useful, glitches and does things you don't want it to such as not unlocking the device when you want it to be unlocked, which resulted in my daughter missing 5 days of homework when she was sick at home. it can uninstall for updates whenever it needs to, which was a negative because there was an intense argument between my daughter and my husband over who uninstalled it, when no one had. it blocks sites that it thinks is dangerous for your child, which in theory should be good but just means there are a large number of sites your child cannot access even though they need them for school, or you think it is ok. overall, Norton family is useless and in my family lead to distrust and arguments between everyone. Would not recommend.
2022-10-02 Josh Mmmm, gotta love the smell of indoctrination via intentional retention of information. I wonder if they've made these things more secure? I was "hacking" into my moms to shut it down by the time I was 9 on Windows 98, so I guess it does provide a good learning opportunity for that sort of practice.
2022-07-18 Beth very annoying, it pops up everytime for things you dont do. too hard to bypass for parents
2022-06-05 Miles bad
