Securly Home

I can see what’s happening with our kids devices - whether school or home devices! Easy to filter out bad stuff, pause the internet when its time to come off the internet - and check what they’re doing everywhere, anytime.

The filters fail to keep up with middle schoolers, who manage to find Google Sites sized holes (among other things) so they can keep playing games when they’re supposed to be doing homework. I suspect Securly’s filters depend on feedback from parents and schools. However, their UI is so bad in this respect, it’s clear the developers and product managers have never tried to add sites to be blocked. Let’s walk through it: You’re going through the activity feed and you see some suspicious sites. Can you add the site to the block list from there? No, no you cannot. Can you do anything useful, like maybe select the domain name to copy to the clipboard? Nope. What can you do? You can open the site in question. That’s it. It’s incumbent upon the user to memorize the domain name and hope they’ve spelled it correctly once they back out of the activity feed and make over to the rules area. This is dumb and broken UI.

Super cool app that my kid’s school recommended! I’m able to see all their activity during school and when at home. More importantly there’s a flagged section for when my kid is doing things in the internet related to suicide or depression. It’s a really nice safety net to have so I can step in.

Simply put, the Securly Home app is incredibly easy to use, and provides insight that I would otherwise not have. It isn’t packed with gizmos and gadgets that i don’t need which makes the experience fast and thorough. Great job!

I love this app. It makes it so easy to look at what my kids are up to, and monitor what they’re doing online. We feel so much more relaxed after we started using this SecurlyHome app. It’s made it really easy.
