Been using the AT&T Secure Family® parent app for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you keep tabs on your family’s devices – you can see where they are on a map in real-time and get alerts when they leave certain areas like school or home. There’s also some cool parental control features like setting time limits on apps and blocking certain websites. Took me a little while to figure out all the different settings, but it’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.
The location tracking is the main thing – you can see where your kids are and get alerts if they leave a safe zone. There’s also options to set scheduled location check-ins, so you’ll know if they made it home from school on time. And the content filters are decent, you can block stuff you don’t want them seeing.
Look, if you’re a parent who wants more control and visibility over your family’s tech use, you’ll probably find this app really useful. It’s not perfect – the app can be a bit clunky at times and the location updates aren’t always instant. But overall, it’s a solid option that helps give you peace of mind.
