Many appreciate the device control features, allowing for monitoring and management of children's internet usage. However, some customers find the price to be a barrier, and a few experienced performance issues, particularly with multiple users. Concerns were also raised regarding children's reactions to screen time limits imposed by the device.

    I love this product. It does everything you need it to. If I had a family of 4 to 6 it would absolutely be the solution for me. Unfortunately the device doesn't effectively manage the devices for my family of 11. It simply can't keep up and causes networking disconnects.

    We have 4 children 12 years and below. Circle allows us to set time limits & boundaries each day. You can set how much time you want them to be online each day as well as what time they can have access. Cirle breaks it down where you can see how much time they spend and what sights were accessed.

    Set up was a breeze and the app works pretty well. Noticed that a few sites get blocked. Doesn't like the Apple App store for example. Still worth it, though.

    I had to buy this so that I could control the amount of time and what websites my 14 year goes on. It was especially helpful to keep him from staying up all night playing games and what not on the computer. Note to anyone in this same situation, hide it so they can't get to it and damage it. Thankfully, mine still works even though he tried to break it.

    Circle allows your family to manage all of your home's connected devices with ease. With Circle, parents can now filter content and limit screen time as well as set a bedtime for every device in the home. Circle can even pause the Internet and share what kids are up to online.

    Grateful for the opportunity to help my teen learn self control and limits. I really like that I am able to adjust the parameters from my phone even when I am away. This lets me extend the time limits if I think she earned it, or cut it off if she needs to get homework or chores done and isn't taking care of those tasks first.

    Works, but has drawbacks

    The Circle technically does everything, for the most part, as advertised. It would be nice if the same electronic device could easily be tied to more than one user. For example, I have three kids that I allow to use one laptop that range in age from 6 to 14. It's not easy to allow my daughter to access the internet for school research without restricting the searches down to a 6 year old level to keep random things from popping up by accident when the youngest is online. Our biggest complaint though is the amount of data used by the app that controls it. It severely drains the battery of both our android and iphone. My husband got so frustrated he took it off his phone. If you have kids in the same age range or allow each of your kids to have their own individual devices, I definitely recommend. But we have tried to cut back on electronics and have gone to a "shared time" on devices so managing profiles has been more difficult.

    Can be a little tricky for initial set up. Very good after that. We have had to reset/restart a couple of times. Lots of forum help available, but easiest to find a friend that has already done this. I have no worries about my kids using the internet now. We can monitor/block times and sites. All families need this.

    This device has a great interface and is extremely easy. The largest problem we encountered is the fact that kids like the to install new apps frequently. So we found just basic parenting and router parental controls with Apple's integrated restrictions was just as good.

    I've tried dozens of parental solutions and disney circle is one of the best. The best part is that unlike most other solutions, there is no monthly fee. The main downside to the disney circle is that it doesn't block offline apps so my kids just switch to the apps that don't require internet when they run out of time.
