Ratings and reviews

The app is ok. It allows you to monitor your child's usage but it lacks the ability to keep your child from using the phone even after time is up. The app is unable to segregate games, chat, and educational time limits which is what I wanted. The ability to block off restricted time is by the hour which is inconvenient when I would like to do half hour. It's difficult to find a phone app that covers all. Pinwheel is another option but it has it quirk's.

They do a great job of selling the features of this app, but it's awful in reality. It's cumbersome, not user friendly, and glitchy. Location updating is wildly inaccurate and the alerts are significantly time delayed. They is no way way to quickly make one time adjustments to screen time allowances without changing whole routines that I have to remember to go back in and change later. It will tell me that there are 2 new search alerts, but I click on it and it says no new alerts.

Didn't allow me to read text messages as promised. The app is difficult to use, and it's almost impossible to cancel your subscription. I was billed an extra year because the 'cancel subscription' was too hard to find. When I did find the "cancel subscription" option, the web page wouldn't respond to my choice to cancel."
