Legal Disclaimers
The AT&T Secure Family service is free for the first 30 days. After the first 30 days, you will be automatically billed $7.99 each month (includes support for up to 10 family members and up to 30 devices in total). Service auto renews every 30 days unless cancelled.  To use the AT&T Secure Family service, you must download two Apps: the AT&T Secure Family App (adults, parents or guardians) and the AT&T Secure Family Companion App (family member). Visit att.com/securefamily for details.

Install the Companion App on your child’s device and pair it with the Parent App on your device. Pairing is required to access all features. Only authorized app users have permission to use the App to locate a family member’s device. AT&T Secure Family uses the Google Accessibility API as an optional component to the parental controls function, and when enabled by the parent, helps to prevent removal of the Secure Family Companion App to prevent disablement of parental control functions by the child.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can reduce battery life. Availability, timeliness, or accuracy of location is not guaranteed. Coverage not available in all areas.

There is a compatibility conflict that can prevent the addition of AT&T Secure Family Companion App to your child’s companion device if you have AT&T ActiveArmor Advanced Mobile Security running on the same companion device.  If you wish to continue with the purchase, you must downgrade to the FREE version of AT&T ActiveArmor Mobile Security on the companion device before adding AT&T Secure Family Companion App.

I've only had this app for a day and I already hate it. What am I paying 7.99 for if it doesn't even work? I've uninstalled and reinstalled this app,unplugged and replugged my router. The VPN is active, but still not working. I've done the necessary pairing with my child's phone and it still won't work. And yes, before you even ask, "I've turned off the phone and turned it back on again". This app isn't as straight forward as it appears or likes it's customers to believe. Yes, the app is updated

The update is extremely frustrating. There was no notification that an update was happening and when we needed to track a kid, it wouldn't work because everyone needed an update. Additionally, I have nonstop location search updates on my phone. If I turn off notifications for the app, I won't get any notices. The location search should be a background function. Long time user of the app, but very frustrated with this update roll out. Considering abandoning the app.

The new update is horrible. Even though I wouldn't have exact location with the previous version it always with a range I had a general idea where my kids were at. Now one child's phone won't track at all (even though we have uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times) the other child's phone tells me they are active as soon as they pick up their phone. Both phones are set up exactly the same. Really frustrating for teenage drivers.

The last version was so much better. This one doesn't shows me where a kid is at; only a mile or so/or more radius and that's not helpful. Previous app showed buildings, addresses, more streets - like Google map. Don't like this at all. Funny, the marketing said "you asked for upgrades, we have them". Nope, it's a downgrade to 80s computer app green font. Ugh.

We don't have a "companion app" as AT&T states below. I am unable to use the approximate location regardless. They changed the ability to be able to see a location without the exact location. We were happy with having just the vicinity without the exact location. It's not as user friendly anymore. We don't like the changes/updates at all. Some people don't want to share their "exact" location. Some are comfortable with less. But you took that away. We've cancelled the service for that reason.

The Secure Family app is simply aggravation. I don't need the control over every aspect my kids' phones. If needed I can shut their internet off through my att. If I wanted to have to go through an app installed on their phone I'd use a free one. One that doesnt mess up their phone in the process. The app won't locate the smart phones by SIM alone which is the sole reason I subscribe. Free apps will locate by gps but, like this app, that's useless if the location is turned off. Also lost the ability to mark frequent locations. Cost may be less, but so far so is the quality.
