Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is truly amazing how much more cooperative kids get when their internet time is on the line. No more arguing about the amount of time spent on line, it's all logged. Powerful negotiation tool that gets things done.

This device helps in monitoring family members’ devices and worked to help keep them in check and limit their overall usage.

I was expecting a bit more from this product. It is easy to use, but it continually kicked off the internet for the Adults (settings were correct). The device allows you to set limits, filter content, and more. Ended up returning and using other methods.

It works with my Google wifi and lets me manage internet access for my family. The app is easy to use and provides reasonable controls to limit access to inappropriate content and set internet access schedules. I had one issue where Circle interfered with access to a site our school uses for students to upload videos but I found a solution on Circle's support site. There is room for improvement but Circle is a useful tool for managing family internet access.

I really love the concept of this item. It was great for minimizing my children's exposure to their electronic devices. There were two drawbacks to it though. We have two wireless extenders and the device is only able to work on one network. I thought I could simply attach it to the main router but that wasn't effective seeing that my children rarely connect to this network. The other issue is that it decreased the wireless performance of all the networks in our home. Hopefully there'll be a fix for these issues in the future.

Can’t say enough about how easy this was to setup and use, or how it has transformed our kids viewing over WiFi. We have a 9 and 11 yo and this is just perfect to monitor and make sure limits we set are stuck to.

While we like to think our children never do wrong, this device can help when they "accidentally" navigate to sites they shouldn't be going to, or if you just want to regulate the amount of time spent on the interwebs. It's easy to set up and very simple to configure. You can even control speicif apps. Would definitely recommend.

Very simple to set up. Easy to use. Assign devices to individuals that use them and manage usage. Or put a device as unassigned and it will not be monitored. Be sure to select the network you will use to monitor (if you have multiple networks such as guest) as this cannot be easily reset. It has a time limit, bedtime, and filters. It has worked great for monitoring my 3 kids and all of their devices.

I was surprised at the amount of software that it covered and the web presence to control what your software you child can access to, as well as, how it allows to control how long they may have access. Access to each program and access to total mount of time. I did not purchase the package that can monitor your child outside of your home since she is not old enough. It does work well on your home WIFI.

I can pretty much control and monitor everything my daughter does online now. Best part is I can limit time spent on specific apps and it tells her when her time is about up so it isn't a surprise. If she wants more, she can ask and I can reward her with more on the spot if I want. I have the mobile app on her phone as well so everything on the home unit applies when she's out on cellular.

If you are like me, you get concerned about how much time your kids are spending playing video games, but you also don't want to have to be arguing with them about it. Circle has been great for our family because I can pre-set how long any device (with wifi) is on each day (can have different setting for weekends vs weekdays) and I can set bedtimes where devices (with wifi) automatically shut off. No more having to police their time on electronic devices. I can also set content filters on all wifi devices. The only drawback is that it only works while they are in our house. To keep filters & time limits on when they are away from our house requires Circle Go which has a monthly fee. But to keep Circle monitoring our home wifi use is a low one-time cost for the Circle box and so far, that's all we feel we need. Great product!!

We love this device for managing the time when our kids are on the Internet. The ability to set it so that they can't get online until a specified time in the morning, the ability to set a specific amount of time they can be online, and the opportunity to have a pre scheduled time for them to be off of the Internet are 3 major reasons we like Circle. (It also is a reason that our kids don't like Circle.) The filter doesn't work as well as I would have hoped. It's better than nothing. The youngest setting works well but the "teen" setting still allows videos I would prefer my children didn't see.

The way I had imagined it to be was awesome. But it wasn’t really lol. It does control a lot of the devices like it states it does but no different than what majority WiFi routers include like Linksys app. The iPhone device control actually requires that your child or teen or who ever you’re limiting access has the app installed in their phones. Which defeats the purpose since all they have to do is uninstall the app that’s limiting them. Your router can do much more than this. This is good for those who don’t know how to go into router settings or know about their router apps. Anyways it’s ok item.

I have a technical background and was skeptical this device would work as advertised. I am very impressed with the functionality - the app is easy to use and you can easily remove devices from monitoring so Circle does not interfere with them. I really like the granular ability to put timers on specific apps e.g. youtube - without disrupting everything else. WAF was also high - she likes being able to pause the internet (mine included!)

This was recommended to us by a family member and we couldn’t be happier. To be able to give your kids devices a time limit and that it shuts down internet access is the best part.

I love this device. I can set limits, see what my kids are doing. I can set meal timeouts. The phones are put away now during meals. We can finally talk. Setup was easy for me. My kids aren't a fan of it, but is anyone surprised? I've been finally seeing my kids go outside and play. It's refreshing. We've got control again.

Circle allows you to customize internet access through your WiFi network by person and device. An excellent tool for protecting your family from the crazy part of the internet.

Easy to set up, but must pay the monthly fee to get monitoring of iphone that can use data

I love having the Disney Circle. I can pause the internet when I am not home this way I can make sure homework is done and time limits on using the internet are not overused.

This made a huge difference in the house with the kids and adds another level of protection for the kids from accessing in appropriate sites. Get this for your house today.
