Verdict

Google Family Link is a free parental control app for Android and iOS that allows parents to manage their child's device usage. It provides basic content filtering settings for Google apps like Search, Chrome, and YouTube, but does not block unsuitable web content. App management options include disabling unapproved apps, blocking new installs until approved, and managing in-app purchases. Screen time scheduling is basic, with daily time limits and a bedtime setting. The app also includes a remote locking option and device locator, but both are limited. Overall, Google Family Link is a useful tool for parents looking to manage their child's device usage, but it has some limitations.
