Good protection!

If you’re reading this, you understand that the internet is not a place for children unsupervised. This app gives me peace of mind knowing my kids are safe online. It has all the safety features a parent would want, and some. Well worth its price, many others do less and charge more. Thank you Canopy!

Great app!

We use this for our son’s devices and it’s good to know that he’s safe while online. Peace of mind in an app.

Great App! & Affordable!

Canopy has worked very well for us. We were using a different app for over 3 years and come to find out there was SO many ways around it and it was not working for us as a family of littles and a spouse with a PA. That other app was not blocking much of anything. Canopy does EVERYTHING I need it to. The tracking app shows me what apps are being used all day, it will send me notifications if someone in my household is trying to ask permission into an app or page that might have content that is not under the guidelines I’ve set as being okay. You can block websites and apps from being opened. The app controles the phone not JUST a web browser like the other app we had. I LOVE LOVE this app and I wish I would have found it sooner, we’ve used this app for over a year now. I’ve only had one issue which was when we switched phones, but customer service was amazing and helped remove a phone and add a new one. I feel good about having this app for my family. We use it on 2 phones and 1 iPad. I recommend it to everyone looking for an app that will help their family from the dangers of the internet world. It can block social media, gambling, TV streaming, violence, messenger apps, etc, you pick what you want to block. There are thing my family will ask me to unblock and it’s an easy step to give permission. The parental control is wonderful! Definitely worth every penny!

Thank you for your kind words - we will pass them on to our customer support team as well. We are so happy you chose Canopy to protect your family online!

Very Clever!

The app is definitely geared toward Parent/children safe browsing. I have used the app for myself and it is not set up as smoothly for adult filtering. Another thing to note is that when low on service there is no usable internet service. A stable fast connection is required for normal internet use. Battery usage also gets very high when in and out of good service (so driving rural areas results in very fast killing of battery). It does work and the idiosyncrasies are worth the helpful result!

The most effective content blocker today

This app has been great at blocking inappropriate content across my family’s devices. I have found that it works more effectively across all platforms like apps, the web, and texting, etc.
Highly recommended.

Great Program and Great Service!!

I downloaded canopy to help out a friend who struggled with pornography. Canopy went a long way in protecting what he could access and what popped up. The fact that it works in the back ground filtering out content, allowed it to monitor almost every app/website. The beauty of it is that it doesn’t just report the websites went on but, filters the content on it. On the other side, as the parent account owner I was able to fine tune the access and filtering with ease. The dashboard is very easy to navigate.
We had one device that was hard to install canopy on but customer service was very helpful and persistence in figuring it out, and eventually we got it installed.
I would definitely give this app a 10/10 in comparison to other content blocking apps. I haven’t found one like it yet.

Helpful App

I appreciate this app helping me to keep my kids safe while online. Tech support has been amazing when I have run into difficulties with installing or adding new devices. Only downside is my kids do say web-browsing is slower than usual, but I assume that is due the to filtering of images and content.

Good-ish for addict, horrible for many reasons

My friend installed this on my phone so I wouldn’t use porn. At first, I was really impressed by its porn blocking capabilities. Much, much more powerful than other porn blockers. My addict attempts to remove it failed. However, after a couple weeks, I learned many loopholes to access porn. In fact, the easiest way was searching something on Google and clicking through images until I find a blurred image that lets me click view image and it shows the porn. The social media app blocking was also impressive, that worked well. However, the loopholes were bad once I learned my way around the system. But the reason I give 2 stars is because after 2 weeks of having this on my phone, my dad sent me a screenshot that all our data has been used up for this month. I look in my data usage on my phone and this app shows up. I costed my parents extra money because the VPN was so broken and wouldn’t allow the wifi to work. I’ve seen other reviews years old mention this. Oh also, I have a truist bank account and it literally doesn’t let me check my checking account. It says it needed an update so I went to the App Store and it was fully updated. Disabled canopy and I could check it just fine. Maybe fix your app. Oh lemme come back and add it ate 22% of my battery daily. Changing to 1 star.

Unhappy

Hi Canopy, I was unaware this company is incompatible with people who live in Australia, but you’re able to process transactions… doesn’t add up. Bit unfortunate on my end the payment wasn’t specified what dollar (if unaware it’s usd) so I thought i was paying under $100 a year and was sorely mistaken!! I’ve paid the money and all of a sudden my child’s devices can’t connect to the internet. This interrupted schooling and affects the personal life, not ideal as you may agree. We’ve tried uninstalling canopy from said devices but we’ve run into a problem: we can’t connect you!
Here is the only way I can contact you. I am not impressed.

Awesome Online Protection

This App is amazing. It’s made all the difference in protecting my device from unwanted adult material. It’s smart and intuitive, and it’s blocking features are top notch.
