Safely Family Utility for Android
When it decides to work, it's great. I had it installed on my son's phone for a year, now it says it has to be an android phone (it is) and it's not compatible (it was). As an aside.. I know all these kids hate it, but it really is to keep them safe. Between the scammers and sex offenders using popular kid apps, we worry about them, not so much the kids. You'll understand when you are a parent, trust me.
My mom put this on my phone in the summer the freaking summer she say's be mature how does she expect me to be mature if she doesn't even trust Me. I have two phones but she didn't put this dumb app on it. P.S. PARENTS let your children be free how do you expect them to mature if you don't trust them.
The privacy laws of the United States deal with several different legal concepts. One is the invasion of privacy, a tort based in common law allowing an aggrieved party to bring a lawsuit against an individual who unlawfully intrudes into his or her private affairs, discloses his or her private information, publicizes him or her in a false light, or appropriates his or her name for personal gain. Public figures have less privacy, and this is an evolving area of law as it relates to the media. The essence of the law derives from a right to privacy, defined broadly as "the right to be let alone." It usually excludes personal matters or activities which may reasonably be of public interest, like those of celebrities or participants in newsworthy events. Invasion of the right to privacy can be the basis for a lawsuit for damages against the person or entity violating the right.
I tried to install it on my husband's phone but it says it's not compatible. I am still giving it a 3☆ because i am hoping something would be done on it..
This app SUCKS! Our family has had it for a few years and it just gets worse and worse. Tech support treats everyone like they are stupid and when they are called out on obvious lies they stop communicating. It stops working randomly, claims it is incomparable with phones it was working on the week before and when trying to reinstall does not send out a permission text to the phone. For Sprint to use such a crappy program AND have us pay for it is starting to be what I expect from Sprint. Don't even ask about their horrible non-English speaking customer service. 1 star because I can't give it half a star.
If it is locked then spam the home screen button for 10 seconds and go to your settings as fast as you can and then spam it again then find this app and force stop it or uninstall it
I just think that its a little over the top. I understand the concept of it but still though its an invation of privacy to me.
This is a mested up app it blockes you from every thing if your parents want and that is werd stalker alert :(
Id rather eat 5 pounds of dog crap, smile, then swallow it than have this app
I hate this why do I have a phone anyway if you put thus on it it's dumb and now I don't trust my mom for putting this on my phone because I need my space like you need yours.You wouldn't like it if someone was looking at your messages or messing with your phone. Now I have no trust in my parents so now I talk to no one but myself
I don't like this app it just tells you that your parents don't trust you what so ever please if a parent is reading this don't get it its plain stupid
My mom has all power if my phone
IT SUCKS
Great app.

U finally found somthing to keep us in a bubble. Just wow i mean c'mon seriously i mean thats just mest up if ur going to try to keep us safe how about just take our phone away or just check it when were not lookin. Pls if u a parent dont get this app for ur kid. Bye the way guys. There are ways to get this off ur phone at night.
What really funny, this is probably the only app on the market that a bad rating is a good one. If you were my kid I found you reviewing this and drag me the person paying your bill through the mud, I would see how well you can text with a tin can and a piece string. Quit whining, grow up and pay for your own phone. In the meantime go outside and play.
Dear paranoid children, yes it tells your parents what apps you have, who texted you, and who you texted. BUT It doesn't tell them what your doing in the apps and it doesn't show the exact text messages you've sent. And if your parents are saying your doing "bad things", there probably just lying to get you to spill cause maybe they truelly dont trust you. But seriously, don't be worried.
Great job Sprint, just another way to ruin a relationship between a child and their parent! The parents that get this app are paranoid dumbasses who love controlling their children. Take it from me, a child who has to have this on her phone, this app does nothing but cause conflict.

This is the assholiest thing you can do to someone.
Just no.
Great app.
Love it!!!

I hate this app
My mother made me get this app since I'm in a boarding school. But i hate the fact that she doesnt trust me enough to handle my phone. It completely wrecked the relationship i had with her because I felt that she had no belief or trust in me and I suppose she really didn't when she forcefully downloaded this app for me. Would not recommend this to any parents that are wanting to keep a relationship with their children. Its been 8 months and I still haven't properly talked to my mom.
This app was created for paranoid parents and privacy invasion. Locking my phone up at 10pm in the middle of summer is unnecessary. So what I stay up till 4am taking to my friends, what business is it of yours anyway? My mother tells me to grow up and stop acting childish, but she still tries to monitor my totally harmless activities like I'm an infant. Even with the lock I still don't even go to bed until 2am. This app is completely fatuous and a waste of my time.
This app is completely awful. While I understand the idea and agree that a few of the services could be useful, like the texting and driving thing, there's no way to know if I'm the one driving. The rest if the services are awful as well. The idea that I can't be trusted with internet access or a phone is ridiculous. This is not a safety app. It's overprotective. All the other reviews from people with the app imposed on them completely agree. It would be much appreciated if you would discontinue this app.
I am old enough to understand that you want to know what your kids are doing on thier phones and why they are so attached to it but it is invasion of privacy. We are turning into young adults ,and we do deserve some privacy. Dont get me wrong , I know that we make mistakes but we need to learn lessons by ourselves and we dont need someone just hovering over us and watching everything we do. You try to tell us that you trust us be this doesnt show it at all. MY phone doesnt even feel like its mine anymore.
It just proves how much your parents or grandparents don't trust you. But whatever.
What the hell? Do you not trust us enough? I mean some kids deserve it but most of us dont. So parents please just back off
