Avoid if at all possible. I've been a subscriber for over a year trying to make this thing work and I'm at the end of my rope. Chrome devices frequently can't connect even when they are properly configured in Circle. Filtering is random, it can't be trusted. My subscription seems to have vanished from the app (even though I'm paying monthly) with no obvious way to correct. Even when it works, it's not worth the money and time needed to support.

We have Circle on Netgear. We love the idea of this app. UNFORTUNATELY, we daily get the error "Can't Connect to Circle" making the app non-efficient, time consuming & frustrating. This means we are unable to pause or unpause devices. Another issue is if you set time limits on devices and things are running in the background, children lose their allocated time. Device's must be turned off to save time. If we could fix the disconnect issue, we'd definitely give a higher rating.

App was a little glitchy, but seemed to do the job. Time by app usually doesn't work. I have the paid subscription (till 2/21) but since late June/early July the subscription states that I don't have one and would I like to buy another one. This is the third time since I installed it that I have had subscription problems. Would give 4 starts if the subscription part would work.
