Accessibility services are required for McAfee Safe Family App to block access to inappropriate websites and applications for children.

McAfee Safe Family is a comprehensive parental control app that enables you to monitor your kids’ phone activities and protects your children from exposure to inappropriate digital content.

Download McAfee Safe Family now to view reports 📋 about your kids’ device usage and allows parents to block social media apps 📵 to avoid any potential cyber-bullying or trolling. Instantly block apps you consider inappropriate, monitor your kids’ phone activities, enable a child lock 🔒 and limit screen time with a bedtime curfew ⏱.

I've tried many parental control apps (Qustodio, Bitdefender, Boomerang, etc.) and I like Family Safe the best. However, as with the others, the controls can easily be disabled by your child turning off Accessibility services for the app. Once disabled, the protected phone can be used without restrictions. The app sometimes logs Accessibility was disabled, but many times it doesn't. Please update this app to prevent children from disabling Accessibility services so it works reliably.

It was great at first. It doesn't have all capabilities with an iPhone which wasn't to big of a deal with us. I tried to get this on my daughter's computer which it said that it could but we never got it done. After the trial period I tried to set up paying month by month payments. They took my money but I cannot access the app!!! I have emailed with no response. I guess that is $8 I will never see again.

I have used other parental control apps and have never been as frustrated with an app that won't let you edit the things that matter. Please do not even try it. It deleted apps from my child's phone including itself and can not be reset. A "help" service that makes it hard to ask questions and harder to get useful answers. I'm going back to Google.
