★★★★★ update 8/26/25: subscribed to be able to limit the time spent online.
★★★★★ It worked great at first, but now one of my children's locked out of her computer, I can't get in it.
★★★★★ I'm unsure if it is because I got my new phone, as I still have the same phone number but the admin passcode will not text to me and I have no way of finding or getting it so I am forever locked out of being able to…

28 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

Missing features3%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If tragically a kid gets a hold of your phone & hits the "master pause" you're screwed since there's no way to access circle once it's enabled on the router (everything is blocked) & it NEVER sends a code so I can try…
★★★★★ Also no way to search devices or see IP addresses.
★★★★★ Now, I am locked out of the app with no way to admin all the devices I have set up.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Please add an email OTP option or dual verification (SMS + Email). 2★, Dec 4, 2025
  • The Orbi app automatically redirects you to this app if you try setting up parental controls (why do I even need a second app?). 1★, Oct 23, 2025

  • It would be nice to use the app but I can't. 1★, May 9, 2024
  • It doesn't tell me I need to have some plugin device. 1★, Mar 3, 2024
  • Please add Roku servers to the allowed filters for kids. 2★, Jan 27, 2024
  • It would be great if I could see the history on individual devices separately indeed of all grouped together in one history for each profile. 4★, Jun 18, 2023
  • I spent alot on the nighthawk router, but I should have looked around a little more. 1★, Jun 2, 2023

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026

non responsive. when you need it it won't load. when you do get in and lock something up you never know when or how long before you can unlock it.

★★★★★Sep 7, 2026

One of the worst designed apps I've ever used. There's no choice to see all the ACTIVE devices in the network at the moment. Therefore, because Apple devices change mac addresses every once in a while, soon you will see a 50/60 devices on the home network, many of them being ghosts. It's hard to find the right ones you want to disable.

★★★★★Jun 1, 2026

doesn't block anything useless.

★★★★★Mar 10, 2026

spent quite a bit for the annual subscription and yet the bedtime feature keeps stopping working. it is pointless

★★★★★Feb 28, 2026

phathetic app, use less

★★★★★Dec 4, 2025

Would not track more than a day's worth of usage history no matter what I tried, and it slowed down overall speeds dramatically. Also, no longer supported by newer generations of Netgear routers. Discovered this after purchasing a new one just 2 months after renewing my annual Circle 1st subscription, and per their policy, cannot get a refund. Would
