Legal Disclaimers
The AT&T Secure Family service is free for the first 30 days. After the first 30 days, you will be automatically billed $7.99 each month (includes support for up to 10 family members and up to 30 devices in total). Service auto renews every 30 days unless cancelled. To use the AT&T Secure Family service, you must download two Apps: the AT&T Secure Family App (adults, parents or guardians) and the AT&T Secure Family Companion App (family member). Visit att.com/securefamily for details.
Install the Companion App on your child’s device and pair it with the Parent App on your device. Pairing is required to access all features. Only authorized app users have permission to use the App to locate a family member’s device. AT&T Secure Family uses the Google Accessibility API as an optional component to the parental controls function, and when enabled by the parent, helps to prevent removal of the Secure Family Companion App to prevent disablement of parental control functions by the child.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can reduce battery life. Availability, timeliness, or accuracy of location is not guaranteed. Coverage not available in all areas.
There is a compatibility conflict that can prevent the addition of AT&T Secure Family Companion App to your child’s companion device if you have AT&T ActiveArmor Advanced Mobile Security running on the same companion device. If you wish to continue with the purchase, you must downgrade to the FREE version of AT&T ActiveArmor Mobile Security on the companion device before adding AT&T Secure Family Companion App.

$7.99 a month to have control over my children's wi-fi usage. I simply want to give them a 4hr time limit per day without it costing. I think that's a reasonable expectation of my internet as a parent. Guess I'll be going to Google a family link for free instead.

was a great app to help lock down my kids' phones and then att decided that they want even more money from me. I already pay over $200 a month... now I'm going to go to another provider... stupid business decision Edit: As I said, $200 a month isn't good enough for you? Also, if I was getting charged before for the app it was a hidden fee, which is sketchy, to say the least.
