I don't think in have enough space to list the ways this app sucks. The restrictions are limited, it's ridiculous that there is no identification for the trusted numbers listed. I have no way of easily seeing who's number is who's, and in this day and age, nobody knows actual phone numbers for most people. The companion app has rendered my daughters phone useless, not able to make calls or texts from trusted numbers or otherwise, and no data access. Mostly garbage.

I agree with most others. The new updates are awful, especially the location function. It doesn't show real-time location like it used to. I wish I could go back and use the previous version. If this glitch isn't fixed, I may cancel and look for an alternative app to use. **Update 12/18/23. The location function seems to be getting worse. I'll be looking for a new app after the holidays.
