Verizon Smart Family is your partner in parenting. It lets you limit internet access, block content, manage calls, texts, and data, and with Premium, you can monitor your children’s whereabouts in real time on one map as well as encourage safe driving habits.

Download our Parent app to your iPhone and pair your child’s smartphone:
• Monitor screen time
• Filter apps and website content
• Block internet access
• Review device usage
• Manage calls, texts, and data

Select Premium to unlock:
• Live family member location monitoring
• Arrival and departure notifications
• Location sharing with pickup requests
• Driving insights such as safe driver score and drive activity history

Once the child’s smartphone is paired via the Verizon Smart Family companion app, the parent app can configure parental controls (iPads aren’t currently supported). If enrolled in Premium, the parent app can also monitor location and driving history – for either a driver or a passenger.

Smart Family account can be used to manage all compatible devices on the same Verizon Wireless account. Companion app must be downloaded on family’s devices for location, content filters, pause internet, Driving Insights, and web & app activity. Smart Family does not control calls and texts made through third-party messaging and calling apps. Crash detection feature will not detect all crashes and will not contact emergency services.

Pros and cons of Verizon Smart Family - Parent app for iPhone and iPad

Verizon Smart Family - Parent app good for

I like being able to get notifications when my daughter gets and sends messages to and from unknown numbers, of course she thinks of it as stalking, but I think of it as smart,loving, parenting.
As a busy mom of 5, its just what I need to keep tabs & balance.
Love new format where I can add names to numbers as they appear in your report. It makes it so much quicker and easier to see at a glance who shes talking to, for future reports! No more looking up who goes with each number! Weve been lucky- not many worrisome calls, but this will help me see them immediately so that I can act quickly. I do wish there were a way that I could add friends and family with their numbers now, rather than waiting until she gets, or makes, a call a call to them.
I use this tool to manage data usage. However, it helps manage the account activity which should be very helpful to parents and guardians with young kids. I recommend this tool.
This is a great app to keep in contact with who your kids are talking too and how often. If you want them to not be on there phones at particular times you can control that. Its a very useful app.
Easy to use once you get the hang of it and very handy features.

Some bad moments

Doesnt work. Doesnt show all activity one 1 of my kids lines and shows nothing on the other.
Once I saw I have to pay a monthly fee to control the data I ALREADY PAY FOR!!!
Seriously...when I forget my password, I dont want to be redirected to a page that touts how great Verizon is instead of a page that actually allows me to reset my frickin password!!!! I thought this app would be great, but it seems Ill never know now. Total waste of time even considering downloading!
One of the worst apps provided by a big corporation to manage consumer services. Ridiculously cumbersome to navigate to where you want to go IF you can even find it. Try finding data usage limit controls. Ive even done this several times but I still have to dig around to try and find it again (its obvious that Verizon doesnt want you to easily control your families data usage so they rack up more charges!) This is just one example of the horrible design. The developer(s) of this app should be fired! Come on Verizon, you can do better than this. Time for a REDO!!
When its easier to log in to your crappy kludgy website to adjust data usage, you should know you have a problem. Multiple repeated logins required when you go back, and you have to find the secret area to make an adjustment. 99% of us are using this to control child use, think about user interface not pretty colors.
Horrible. Starting out the forgot your passowrd link goes to the download the app page and thats it. then selecting the profile to edit is done is several different ways depeding on where your. The method of swiping to scroll through the names works but the name doesnt move with your finger to give you feedback that is what you are doing. The only way I knew it would work was from an online video. I got lot in the app several times. I hate it but it does things the web site cant like select the media that can be accesses. the restriction time is confusing too. If you want to restrict from 10pm to 7am the next day it takes two restrictions, one for each day, 10pm to 11:45 and then 12am to 7am, but it not clear that is how it works.
