Ratings and Reviews
Okay
Lots of glitches, and doesn’t work consistently on different windows platforms. Also, it doesn’t allow your computer to self update for time change. We moved states, and it took forever to get it to change. Even the help line on norton couldn’t assist me. This product needs more thought put into it for easy changes. I also would like the feature to block add ons to the web browser. Children can add inappropriate games to the browser tab bypassing the monitoring of this program. The limiting of General types of websites is useful. The thing I do like is the phone app which allows quick lock of computer. Overall fairly useful but could be much better given other programs from this company.

Hello! We really apologize for the issue you have faced, kindly be assured, the concern will be surely addressed for you as your better experience with our service is very important to us. Your efforts would be really appreciated if you could reach us on our Facebook at https://m.me/norton or on Twitter at https://twitter.com/NortonSupport.
Great app for enforcing rules for the computer with the kids.
This app is awesome! Especially for the price! Most parental control apps this advanced are $30 or more a month. This is around the same, but you also get Norton 365 and Norton lifelock. Protect your kids, your identity, and your technology all for a cheaper price than one of these types of programs would cost! On this Parental Control App you can have multiple kids and customize each one. You can monitor everything they do on their phone or computer and see their location. You can set bed times, and school times. During those times you can set emergency contacts and websites that can be accessed, like making canvas or an mouse accessible during school hours. You can set how many hours they are allowed total in a day and in a week. So say your kid is allowed 35 hours a week, up to 5 hours a day, but they choose to use there 35 hours in the first 5 days, they won’t be able to go on it the last 2 days without asking your permission. They can send a request through the app and you can approve or deny it. You can pick categories that are allowed or not allowed, and/or allow certain websites but place a warning on them letting your kids know that it well let you know and show them what they were doing. The customization is incredible once you get the hang of it. It does take some practice to get used to, but once you do, the possibilities are endless!
Nama’s Peace of mind!
Norton products have been keeping us safe online for many, many years now and even as our internet time has lessened as we get older I now continue to thank Norton once again for keeping my grandchildren safe while visiting and allowing them and us to enjoy what the internet has to offer safely and securely. Norton 360 Deluxe has been a godsend in allowing myself to monitoring my grandchildren across all of our devices (5) and making sure they are safe and that gives me great peace of mind. Norton 360 Deluxe is not free like some apps but what you get is way worth it. So, my advice is if you’re wondering about using Norton... do it! You won’t regret it and by the way any questions or issues you may have their agents via live chat are awesome.
