Ratings and reviews

Was reluctant to use this because of reviews but it's been a lifesaver. Only get notified if certain key words come up (algorithm is thorough!) picks up potential concerns and means I don't have to read through tons of personal messages and invade privacy unless a conversation is needed. Used free trial and just signed up. £4 a month is something I am very happy to pay for this service.

For a start, the gps based tracking feature is so poor, I keep getting notifications that my kids just left home, while they are home and even when their phones are charging and no one touches them. Secondly, the algorithm for website filtering keeps blocking totally innocent websites. The use of color for notifications is unclear and doesn't make sense (along with the total ux of the app). Lastly, I need an app that tracks not only their use of mobile phone, but also of their desktop usage.

some features are nice like the real time monitoring but I have paired this app with MMguardian app because the location indicator fails. it does not update often enough and just now when my child's phone is turned off it is saying we are 2 cities away (near where we went out for supper last might) and the phone is currently active yet it cant be when the battery is at 0%. I find the mmguardian and surfie app pair well together though because they make up for each others flaws

What's new

Starting today, parents can now remotely manage the silent mode on their child's device directly from the parent app.
