Permissions:
• This app uses Accessibility services to build an excellent device experience that helps:
- users with behavioural disabilities set appropriate levels of access and monitoring of screen time, web content and apps, in order to limit their risks and enjoy life normally.
Be assured that the monitoring is private and no 3rd parties will be aware of it.
• Draw Over Other Apps: This app uses this permission to draw block screen on top of apps you choose to block.
• Usage Access: This app uses this permission to detect which application is opened so we have a suit filtration in it.
• This app uses the Device Administrator permission (BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN) in order to allow parents to enable uninstall protection and prevent their children from uninstalling the app without their knowledge and consent.
Please note that this is an optional functionality as per user requirement. We do not enable this feature by default.
• When you use our app, VPNservice will be used so that relevant content you try to access will first securely pass through the filters in our remote servers. We can then determine whether or not the content is inappropriate and should be blocked.

Please also note that in some cases, we might ask you to install third party applications.
You will always be able to uninstall the application: on the app's home page - click on "Uninstall application", submit your password (if required) - and the application will be removed.

Ratings and reviews

I am trying to reach customer support. I emailed and I was told to try the AI bot. I have been waiting for hours on the bot for it to respond and it is doing nothing. My internet and everything on my phone is extremely slow since I put on the app. how can I correct this?

makes my battery noticeable worse makes software updates pretty much impossible and makes the phone super slow and crash very often!!!!!!

It's pretty decent for content filtering, but deeply flawed in almost every other respect. Battery life takes a severe hit. The filtering is applied inconsistently and often arbitrarily on content which was not meant to be filtered. It blocks VPN usage outright, even when the VPN app is explicitly whitelisted. Beyond that, overall device performance suffers, and web browsing in particular feels noticeably slower and less reliable. The net effect is a meaningfully degraded day to day experience.
