Be assured that the monitoring is private and no 3rd parties will be aware of it.
• Draw Over Other Apps: This app uses this permission to draw block screen on top of apps you choose to block.
• Usage Access: This app uses this permission to detect which application is opened so we have a suit filtration in it.

Please note that this is an optional functionality as per user requirement. We do not enable this feature by default.
• When you use our app, VPNservice will be used so that relevant content you try to access will first securely pass through the filters in our remote servers. We can then determine whether or not the content is inappropriate and should be blocked.

You will always be able to uninstall the application: on the app's home page - click on "Uninstall application", submit your password (if required) - and the application will be removed.

Ratings and reviews

We all have issues with this block but let's be honest, when it works, it works great. Blocks everything perfectly and keeps users safe online. If ever the app does NOT work, many times it could be easily fixed. The app only requires it be kept fully updated and with all required settings activated to function properly. Wether from the store, or in the app, Netspark settings and application can be updated. After that it takes a few minutes to work again. So if there is lag / bugs just update it.

24 hours since I've started using this App. I have had zero problems. My phone works normally and hasn't slowed down. The only annoying thing so far is that there's the Netspark logo in the top left corner sometimes. But it hasn't been a very big deal. I had to have to filter as part of a program so I can't tell much about customer service etc.

I am a long time customer. There are constant problems. Every few months, all settings are lost & all allowed sites are blocked again & have to be individually reopened. Often, it's impossible to request that a site be opened; you simply get "this site can't be reached". Requesting that sites be opened frequently leads to an infinite loop, where Netspark says it has unblocked the site but then continues blocking it anyway. When I bring these issues up to Netspark, I am just brushed off.
