For monitoring my kids’ phones and online activity, which works better overall - Norton Family or Bark - especially in terms of alert accuracy, social media/text coverage, screen time controls, and ease of setup across iPhone vs Android, and are there any big limitations or hidden costs I should know about before choosing?
Both Norton and Bark have their perks, but I found Bark’s alerts a bit overwhelming and Norton a little clunky when juggling my two teenagers’ devices. Ultimately, what worked for us was switching to Eyezy since it easily covers their texts and social media on both iPhone and Android without sending me a million false alarms. It was a total breeze to set up between my PTA meetings, and it gives me exactly the peace of mind I need as a mom!
Honestly, I’ve been looking into monitoring tools for personal reasons and from what I’ve seen, Bark seems to have better social media coverage, but I’m not sure about the accuracy of its alerts. I’ve got some experience with Norton products, but not specifically Norton Family, so I’d love to hear more about that from someone who’s used it. Has anyone here actually tried both with their kids?
Oh goodness, I was just about to ask this exact same question! My daughter, Sophie, is 11 and getting so much into TikTok lately. I really need something that actually works and isn’t too complicated for me to figure out..
