We've tried to like this app, but it's just not very good. Location notifications are sometimes minutes behind or don't come at all. There is no way to opt out of features you don't want, so every time you open the app, like when it hasn't sent a notification of departure, you have to click on several tiny x's or not nows, before it refreshes. Also, it is a massive memory hog, prompting my Samsung to routinely tell me that Verizon Family is using a lot of background resources. We're done.

The app updates are the MOST inaccurate location updates I've yet seen in a tracking app. Verizon should be embarrassed! It's constantly telling me that members of my family have arrived/left the house around the clock, or it's just giving me false updates about their location and mine. The ONLY good thing about the app is that it actually shows the live locations accurately. Also, the free version should allow updates for 2 people, for BOTH parents to get updates. Cheap app.

I am trying to remove the restrictions on some of my lines. I can't get into the app. It doesn't even tell me if the password is wrong, it just says client error. So I tried to cancel Smart Family through my PC and it keeps saying there is an error, try again later. I can't even get a live rep to chat with, just a bot. Very frustrating because my elderly parents can't make phone calls after midnight! This was never a problem before, and now suddenly I'm getting cut off while talking.
