Ratings and reviews

Very disappointed. Not very user friendly, too complicated to set up or change restrictions. Inconsistent with when the features work, not working at all, or blocking things I have not restricted. In my case it is not worth it to pay for an app that can not function as intended. The app was used on an older Samsung phone, I'm not sure if that added to the technical problems but I'm not going to buy a new phone just to restrict my child's time on his device.

Glitchy! This app is awful! We have spent 3 days trying to get around all the glitches. I have two kids, and the app will only allow me to track one kids device saying the others need to be installed (despite it already being installed). If I uninstall both my app and the missing phones app, which is a loong and glitchy process with pop-ups that won't allow you to get around them, then I can track that kids phone but not the other! So many other problems, I can't write them all!!

Useless 2 day trial I followed the directions for each device and couldn't get it to go from signing me up to actually setting the devices up for monitoring. It also defaults the very first device you sign up in as the control device. I came across the app while checking the new apps the school sent across his device. When I signed in on my phone, it wanted his device to monitor mine. No option to fix it. the help center is only available if you buy app but the sample never worked!
