Ratings and reviews

I've had this app for about 1 month and comparing on how it was before now is a bit better, i still will give the 4 stars for now because this app has a mind of its own, it sends me notifications when it wants, and one time deleted my son's device when i had the delete feature locked. I must say that the support dept. has been great, maybe in the future you can add a feature where we can see what he searches for and see the texts content, just an idea.

App has known flaws. I've spoke with them, they acknowledge the issues yet they haven't patched them. Despite the lock, all apps can be accessed, and all websites can be accessed. Very disappointed. Initially when I told them about the issues they blamed other apps, only after i send them videos showing how it was done did they acknowledge the issue. It has been months and I believe the app to be as good as worthless. Despite phone on lock mode, youtube, browser and whatsapp can be accessed

I do like some of the features, but the location jumps around so if you set home boundaries it constantly sends notifications that my son has left home zone then enters, very annoying. Had to remove the zone to stop this. When I started subscription the functions all said they were in beta mode telling me the functionality may or may not work properly, not very comforting when you spend money on something to be told it may not work properly. Screentime, screenshot, lockdown feature is nice .
