Ratings and reviews

Heaven help you if you forget any one of the three different passwords required to manage a TP network. There's a router, Tether, and Wi-Fi password and for the life of me can't understand why the router needs a password when using Tether. Access to the network is already provided at that point so it acts like a system filled with credential walls because they didn't know how to manage access.

App was working fine, now nothing but problems since latest update. Constantly getting message that app can't connect to device. Message comes up to move closer to router when I'm sitting right next to it. Sometimes in the middle of making updates via parental controls, when I hit save it throws the "can't connect to device" error message. I see others reporting the same problem. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG! PC assigned to parental controls will randomly have upload/download rates stopped for no reason

The Homeshield parental controls turn themselves off and / or disassociate from the device you're trying to control. I've emailed their tech support 6 or 7 times and they have offered nothing helpful. I'll have to spend more $ on some other ideas / solution. update 7/9/25 - app seems to have updated itself... now throwing ads at me before doing anything else. Used to work somewhat, now doesn't hardly work at all. It connects, lets me see the list of connected client devices, then throws an error
