NortonMobileAbout this app
Developer Description
Norton Family helps you manage the time your kids spend online.
At home, attending school, or on the go, Norton Family helps keep children focused on what’s most important.
• Monitor the sites and content your child views
Make the Web safer for your kids to explore—by keeping you informed of which sites your kids are visiting, and letting you block potentially harmful and inappropriate content.‡
• Set limits on your child’s internet access
Help your kids balance time spent online by scheduling screen time limits for their device usage.‡ This can helps you focus your child on schoolwork and avoid online distractions while remote learning or at bedtime.‡
• Stay informed about your child’s physical location
Use geo-location features in the app to track your child’s location. Receive alerts if you’re your child arrives in or goes beyond areas of interest established by you. (4)
Here are some of the Norton Family features parents can use to help protect their child’s online activities.
• Instant Lock
Help your kids take a break by locking the device, so they can re-focus, or join the family at dinner. You can still contact your children and children can still contact each other while the device is in lock mode.
• Web Supervision
Let your kids explore the Web freely, with tools that help you block unsuitable websites while keeping you in the know about which sites they’re visiting. (6)
• Video Supervision
See a list of the YouTube videos your kids watch on their PCs or mobile devices and even view a snippet of each video, so you know when you need to talk. (3)
• Mobile App Supervision
See which apps your kids have downloaded on their Android devices. Choose which ones they can use. (5)
Time Features:
• School Time
Remote learning requires the internet, so pausing the internet on your child’s device is not an option. Manage content access to relevant categories and websites to help your child maintain focus while school is in session.
Location Features:
• Alert Me
Stay informed about your child’s location automatically. You can set specific dates and times to receive automatic alerts of the location of a child’s device. (2)

Norton Family Parental Control users say on Google Play
Brilliant tool and much better than Google Family for enhanced web filtering, app control and screen time. The web filtering and alerting is the standout feature. It works on my eldest kid's phone too which isn't controlled under my Google Family account anymore.
After initial problems to extend user time and use my parental pin to log in and troubleshoot the laptop as an Admin, it somehow started working. Norton parental app has improved and I am liking the app's ability to block specific sites and prevent the deinstallation of Norton parental app on the monitored laptop by the child.
DISAPPOINTED: Unable to locate child's device upon request, Unable to add exceptions for apps when phone is locked (I allow certain learning / reading apps after screen lock), Unable to view screen usage in real time. other features work roughly as competitors. Going back to previous provider....
The inability of the app to control and grant remotely and reliebly in real time some extra computer time to my children is very disappointing. it is hugely frustrating when you need extra time for home work " and it does not work (so frequently!!). Control functionalities are also basic and would deserve some upgrades to be really useful in daily life.
Update: This app just seems to be constantly going downhill. Legitimate websites are erroneously categorized, making it almost unusable. This includes those that are used by the school, news sites, and online shopping, among others. The time supervision still doesn't work properly. For example, the device was not used all night. At 8 am, it shows that there is no time remaining and is locked.
