Ratings and reviews

This app has changed over the past couple of years. It's not as effective and I feel it's lost some value. There are many quirks and flaws as of late. Now the past 2 days, I can't even close the app on my own phone. And it has waaaaay too many updates with no warning so unless I discover it myself, I don't know about it in time, which affects the parental controls. I'm ready to finally switch parental apps I think after at least 5 years using this one. Feeling very frustrated with it.

We have had this app on our all 3 of our children's phones for the last 3 years & it is great. I love to be able to see the texting conversations back & forth. My kids know that I can, and we have had had a lot of good discussions because of it. I also love seeing their location at any time. It has been a great help to block inappropriate websites. Thank you to it's developers!!

I have used this app for the last year. It is not fantastic, but for the price (or any price) it appears to be the best I'm going to get. There are for sure glitches - disconnecting phone calls even if they are contacts/always allowed/and within an allowed time frame, doesn't pick up everything (not even close) in the text or call log, and sometimes makes the monitored phone glitch a bit. Pros are the app timers seem to work accurately and are easy to monitor/adjust and phone timer work well.
