Circle has been amazing! It helps with the monitoring of devices so much! We can see the websites used and monitor internet access and content. It has definitely alleviated my stress/burden of keeping my children safe on their devices.

Circle has given me a lot of peace of mind. I know that I am doing everything I can to protect my family from the trash that is out there on the internet. Being able to see everything my kids are looking at is so helpful. I highly recommend Circle for anyone that wants to protect their family.

Circle is a great way to manage your wifi and internet time to make sure you are only your phone or devices for a certain amount of time. My parents use it to restrict content and police certain apps for my younger siblings. Circle allows our family to go out more often because once our limit is up for the day its time to do something outside!

A friend recommended this and we gave it a try. It's not as detailed as maybe I'd like, but is great at helping my family members manage their screen time. It's pretty customizable for our needs and I trust the filters. We have had good experiences with it.

With teenage kids it is comforting to know I can monitor and control their internet usage. I set curfews and screen times on all their devices. Its easy to monitor and navigate their software. Totally recommend if you have teenagers with phones.

The idea of Circle is great, and I think it is a great option to use if you only have to worry about Wifi. However, we have kids with data plans on their phones, and we could never get Circle to work great with those. We currently use the built in screen time on their phones, but I would try Circle again if I only ever need to monitor Wifi and not data.

Circle is a great way to control as a parent. I felt very safe so long as circle was on. However, it did struggle with compatibility to our router and continuously kept kicking our server offline. We decided to disconnect after a bit of this off and on.

Circle is ok. I LOVE the fact that they exist and are trying to help families be safe. The interface was easy to use, but the technology was a bit easy to get around. I would also like to see more fine grain controls and options to see specifics about FQDNs for device browsing histories.

Circle has been a great way for me to filter the internet in my home. It is not always easy to identify certain devices but once I do I like that I can assign them to a profile.

I bought a Circle and was really excited to use it...but the only problem was it also blocked me everything. I had a hard time setting up the controls so they were appropriate for kids, but still let me access PG-13 content. It may be user error, but the setup was not very intuitive and after a few days I ended up just disconnecting it.

I was really intrigued by all the Circle promised. It was pretty easy to set up and did deliver on what it promised. Shortly after using Circle, we started to notice that our internet really became sluggish. We disconnected Circle and no longer had sluggish internet. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for us, so we are looking for a better solution.

We had Circle for about a year. It claimed to be adding features that we were interested in but they never launched. It didn’t fulfill our needs. Our kids were teenagers and we needed a more advanced filter.

Circle helps me have peace of mind about my kids being online. The restrictions i can set are awesome.

Originally, I really liked Circle. As my kids got older, however, it didn't work as well, and it seemed to mess with our WiFi so I haven't used it for the past year or so.

My mother uses it on me to restrict time on the internet. It does work, and for parents who want their kids to do other things with their lives it’s great.

Circle is great to make sure my children are not viewing anything inappropriate on the internet.

Good unit. If you set it up correctly and utilize all of its features, you will love the control it gives you.
