Description

Norton Family provides tools that teach safe, smart, and healthy online habits. It also provides insights that help you foster a healthy online/offline balance for your children and their devices.

At home, attending school, or on the go, Norton Family helps keep children focused on what’s most important.

Norton Family empowers parents to keep track of their child’s online behavior.

• Monitor the sites and content your child views
Make the Web safer for your kids to explore — by keeping you informed of which sites your kids are visiting, and letting you block potentially harmful and inappropriate sites.‡

Norton Family also provides insights into the search terms and videos (3) that interest your kids and flags unsafe behavior so you can discuss online safety, as a family.‡

• Set limits on your child’s internet access
Help your kids balance time spent online by scheduling screen time limits for their device usage.‡ This can helps you focus your child on schoolwork and avoid online distractions while remote learning or at bedtime.‡

• Stay informed about your child’s physical location
Use geo-location features in the app to track your child’s location (4). Plus, receive alerts if you’re your child arrives in or goes beyond areas of interest established by you, using geo-location tools.

• Access weekly/monthly reports
Get detailed reports on what your kids are doing online, right in your Inbox or on the Parent Portal.‡ You can use these reports to foster dialog with your child about online safety.

Here are some of the Norton Family features parents can use to help protect their child’s online activities.

• School Time
Remote learning requires the internet, so pausing the internet on your child’s device is not an option. Manage content access to relevant categories and websites to help your child maintain focus while school’s in session.

This helps you establish approved boundaries for your child’s physical locations. When turned on, this feature will alert you when your child arrives in or goes beyond the permissible area or location established by you.1,2.

• Web Supervision
Let your kids explore the Web freely, with tools that help you block unsuitable websites while keeping you in the know about which sites they’re visiting.

• Search Supervision
See the words, terms, and phrases your kids are searching for to gain insights into their interests and help protect them from inappropriate content.

Amazingly works pretty well

Great app and seems to work fine, however , it’s very easy to lock all your kids devises as the “ instant lock “ once you put at least 1 emergency contact in, apart from that, pretty good unlike most other Norton apps, which are pretty rubbish - looks like some thought has gone into this

Could be better

As another reviewer said, once you enter the child’s profile it locks and you can’t scroll. I found going to alerts them back again solves the problem - but a bit of a pain. It’s great to have instant access to lock devices, but a shame the that the rest is just opening the website in the app (it keeps telling me to get the app, when that’s where I’ve come from!) Not app specific, but this would be so much better as a parental tool if we could apply a total time allowed time across all devices. If I want my child to have total 2 hours on phone or PC but I don’t mind how they spread that time across those devices I can’t do that. I can either allow 2 hours on each (which total 4 hours) or 1 hour on each which doesn’t give them any flexibility and results in me having to lock/ unlock or constantly change the setting, which is bit of a pain with 3 children and access to 2 devices each!

Developer Response ,

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback!
We are working to build In-App Native experience instead of redirecting to our Norton Family Website. Website access has been provided as an interim solution to access child activities. The native solution will resolve the slowness observed.

The scroll issue and ad for downloading the app has been resolved now, please continue to use our app.

Best regards,
Norton Family Team!

Lost access to apps

Worked well for the first few hours then all of a sudden all my sons apps disappeared and he was extremely upset. I allowed all of his apps when I set it up so no idea why this happened. I had to remove the management from his phone to get them back and even then he had to reorganise them all and put them back in the folders which frustrated him.

The main thing I don’t want him accessing is adult websites. So My best bet is to just get something for my wifi to keep him off certain websites.
