Hey there Scrappy2806!


I want you to be able to use Family Base with no problem. I'm showing that the G4 is definitely compatible with this feature. What kind of issues are you having? Please share some details with me.

When I go to install the companion on my son's LG G4 it says "version is not compatible with this device", although the companion shows as an installed app on the LG however does not work.

My daughter's LG G4 has been on the Family Plan, but it suddenly stopped working. I received an email saying that it was no longer compatible. Could it have updated to Marshmellow version? That is listed as incompatible. This is a huge problem for me, too.

I just bought 2 new G5 for my kids and was told family base would work on those. Both of their phones show the app as not compatible.

ICURNmomma, keeping your children safe is crucial. Family Base is a tool just for that. While you absolutely do have a fourteen day worry free guarantee for your purchase, I would like to look at this a bit more closely. Are the phones connected to Wi-Fi when attempting to download the application? Are you downloading the Family Base or the companion app?

Will there be an update to the app so it is compatible with Marshmallow?
