Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this for my S.O. for Xmas. It’s great to set up limits on any device that uses the internet - IPad, IPod, laptops, phones, video consoles. You can set up time limits and rating limits. I bought another one for my daughter because my grandson was spending too much time playing video games. Really a great price too.

Works just as I expected. It does not slow down the internet speed as others, even Circle claim for those with over 100Mbps internet speeds. I've tested my download speeds to still be well over 100Mbps. I wish it would have a little more granular detail, but it was focused on being made to be easy to use, which it is.

I am not computer savvy enough to be able to control my kids device usage using my modem/router. I purchased this because where ever I am I can turn off my kids wifi access when they are at home. Great tool when I've asked them to do something and they ignore my request because their face is in their screen.

The Circle is such a great way to get a handle on kids gaming . I could limit one game (Fortnight!) or all games ! Set bed times, restrict apps. It’s great ! And I can do it by person so everyone in the house is not affected. I highly recommend this product!

We love this product works great for teenage boys.

Not what I expected. Kids just jump off WiFi to get around it on their phones. Price to setup a mobile account can’t be justified

This thing is great I can do everything remotely on my cell phone. I did have small trouble setting it up, but once I figured it out the rest was easy. Now I'm just waiting for the kids to adjust to limey ion on there internet.

Circle allows time limits and bedtimes for devices connected to your home WiFi. No more setting timers or post-bedtime surfing. That alone would make this 5* but there are also metrics, specific category site management and other features. It's a can't miss win for families.

I set up all my kids' devices according to the instructions. I would get notifications that "XYZ has reached the time limit". And when I looked over at my child "XYZ" they were still watching videos on their device. This was true for all 3 children, and in many cases the device wouldn't lock them out for up to an hour later. Then when they tried to get on the following day there always seemed to be technical issues where we'd have to restart their browser. It became more work for me to manage than whatever "benefits" there might have been. Would have expected more from a Disney-backed product.

Provides the control and monitoring that I wanted.

I have not been able to get all the juice from it, but seems like I can see the activity of my kids and add some limitations, which will help them to admin their time and choices, hopefully.

Easy to use. A great way to monitor use and control access.

I bought this for my partner to manage internet usage on her kids' devices. Besides the obvious functionality, it was important to us that the setup be easy for a non-technical adult. I'm kind of a geek, she's not. The app was easy to download and navigate, and the device works as advertised. So far so good!

I love this device. It takes a while to set up but works great. We can now monitor and limit our kids screen time. We also pay the $5 monthly service so it limits their devices once they are away from the home network. You can also reward them with extra time for doing chores. Our has has never been cleaner!

Best product like this on the market! Very easy setup!

It is not perfect, but this is a good choice for families with kids where you are looking to regulate their usage of the internet. I do feel that occasionally it slows down the overall internet in my household.

Device does what it says it does. Setup was super easy.

The is a great device for the family that wants to limit content and internet screen time. I set when wif-fi can come on and when it turns off just for my son's devices. I wish I would have purchased years ago.

The circle was very easy to set up. The most challenging part was to identify all of the devices that were connected to the WIFI. It has been great being able to control our children's devices. It's easy to have all of the devices shut down for bedtime.

I have used Skydog (they closed down) Torch (also closed) and was looking for an alternative. Unfortunately, you cannot block specific YouTube channels but you can block the whole site. I like the time limits (but would be nice to have a warning message 15 minutes before) but overall better than no filter.
