Ratings and reviews

When it actually loads, it works fine, but it often takes upwards of 5 minutes to load. My biggest complaint is that when devices are being used during "focus time" it always uses up their regular time limit, even though it's not supposed to. For example, we have focus time set from 7am-12pm, with certain apps allowed. If they listen to audiobooks (which are allowed!) for 3 hours during focus time, it won't allow them to play games/watch videos during the hour I have given. It's frustrating!

I love the theory behind this app, but it simply doesn't work. All of the adults using Android in our household have the same issue; the app works great for a day or two, and then it freezes on the loading screen indefinitely. The only consistent solution we've found to this is resetting the app data or reinstalling the app, and repeating every 2ish days.

This app does not work as advertised. It claims to block sites at a level before the individual computers but it seems to be hit and miss. We have not renewed and our app shows no subscription but today, out of the blue, they took a monthly subscription fee out of our account. This is unethical and, quite frankly, illegal. I have contacted them and will contact my bank.
