Canceled within 2 hours after I couldn't sign in after subscribing with any other device other than the one that I purchased it, which was a deal breaker the way I'm setup. No refunds 🤔

We understand your frustration with Google's Family Library not working with your subscription. This is due to a limitation from Google. See https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6294544#zippy=%2Cpurchases-you-cant-use-family-payment-method-for.

Very annoying that this does support family library. My daughter can't have full access on her own google acct on her tablet bc she's a minor which you can't create account/subscribe for full access on her google account and her account is family linked to mine for subscriptions to be approved through me. You need reconsider and utilize family library.
