Garbage
This app is a waste of money. It was suggested by a friend to be able to monitor my child’s text messages and calls but turns out after I paid for it that it no longer has those functions. Don’t waste your money because Apple won’t refund.ThisNicknameThingIsStuoid
Apple Screentime is much better
I find it quite despicable how this company is making the app look so great and when I actually use it on my kids it DOES NOT WORK. The screentime did not work like said. I caught my son watching inappropriate movies at 11pm in his room! Nobody waste your time with this app.Greekman127

Hi again - we are not able to block apps and enable our previous screen time features. Please redownload and try again if you haven't found an alternative. Thanks. (previous) Hi - we do not offer Screen Time for iOS devices as per Apple's change in 2018. Sorry if we provided the sense we could. We only offer such controls for Android child devices now.

I am very happy with the sms and text features on the app. In monitoring my children’s texts, specifically only when triggered by words of concern is such a helpful feature. I also like all of the customizable detailed feature options that may pertain to one child and not another.glhamdan
Disappointing
I just downloaded this and tried to do the time out option and it keeps giving an error. Uninstalling as I do not have anymore time to waste.mamadeloschicos
Lost money
Worked fine until I had to pay. Now i can't even access my child profile. Waste of money.mamabeeeeer
Since the update it stop working
The app was decent before but now it’s awful. Since they updated the app nothing works. I have this app on 3 phones in my house and they all stop working.saydrick
Upset with Apple!!!
This is a great app, but Apple has decided this app was to competitive and much better than their update of Screen-time- which is a absolute joke!
If you have an Apple phone you can no longer use this app for what it was made for. Apple will not allow them to update their profile onto the Apple platform. I loved this app, it helps Control screen time without loops holes. Anyone using screen-time it has many loops holes! It doesn’t work like this app. If I could change all of our phone I would. You can fully enjoy this app if you are on Droid. I hope the developers can find some way to convince Apple to add this app back to IOS systems.Show lessarch2396
Doesn’t support Amazon Fire
Shame. I was just about to purchase everything with this. Went to my kids kindle devices. The app didn't exists for them. Great idea, just a shame it's not developed for multi devices across different platforms.Jasonwdl

There are "advanced ways" to get Boomerang on Kindle devices, please connect with our team at support@nationaledtech.com if you are still searching and we will help you get this scenario set up. We have a few users set up this way now.Too many glitches
I have been dealing with tech support endlessly with no resolution. Horrible lag time with reports and location. It takes about 5 hours for the text log to be updated. Spin web log hasn’t updated in 2 days. Now I am seeing she has sent and received texts AFTER her scheduled time. I will not be renewing. Don’t waste your money.Show lessAngiebarbee
Great app
This is a great app to support healthy phone habits and the tech support is outstanding!! I’m waiting for a few little tweaks for the iPhone such as being able to keep the camera on when other apps are shut off. But great job!lisahof
