Ratings and reviews

This app has kept my family safe! You can use it on multiple devices and pause protection for various amounts of time, if needed. I find I need to pause protection occasionally to do updates or access certain sites/apps that Canopy slows or blocks (like Google Maps, for some reason). While it does slow things down, it's worth it to me! This means it is blocking content BEFORE getting to devices instead of like a major competitor, which just alerts parents if inappropriate things come up.

This has been a great tool for our family! The customer service team has been responsive and fixed problems when they have arisen. But it sometimes blocks access to things that are appropriate, such as pages on websites or Youtube channels that are not listed as "for kids" but have no inappropriate content. The VPN also causes connectivity issues with other apps at times, although whoever has the admin account can temporarily turn it off, take care of what's needed, and then turn it back on.

We use Canopy on almost every device in our home, including my own personal computers and phone. I wanted to set an example for my kids that I too don't want to see the garbage out there. It works well in conjunction with Google Family Link to provide a solid barrier to almost everything. Installing can be tricky, but if you follow their guides you should be ok. It started acting strange on my old phone, but I had to upgrade anyway and things are fine now. Highly recommended for all parents.
