Password doesn’t work

The settings page won’t open when I tap on it. It opens momentarily when I close the app and open again but it quickly closes the settings page. I can’t set a password.

No use it keeps shutting off

What good is a protective blocker if it keeps shutting itself off and it’s protection

Loopholes aplenty

Devs, thank you for trying, honestly, but you need to warn users about these loopholes! Users, you should know them...
1. You must not allow kids to delete apps or else this app may quickly disappear! There's a setting in Screen Time to block deleting apps.
2. Set a passcode in the app or else it Is easily disabled! The app should require or at the very least suggest these you do this but it doesn't.
3. You must restart the YouTube app to apply filtering. "Family Filter" mode allegedly enforces Restricted mode in YouTube.... But when I opened the YouTube app, the mode remained off. Silent fail (the worst kind!) in other words. Restarting the app enforces filtering but you have to do that manually. Until then you get no filtering.

It’s ok

I really wanted this to work but it’s to easy to uninstall. Beyond this app makes my WiFi drop all the time making my phone unusable for certain periods of the day. Plus it’s no longer being updated and possible abandoned.

EDIT: I finally had to uninstall, my phone became unusable. Such a shame as this product works great on PC.

Unable to enter custom code on ipod touch

Hello, the screen is too small on my ipod touch to press the green confirm button after pasting my custom code.
The easiest way to fix this without having to resize screens to optimize for smaller devices would simply be to have the "return" button act to enter the code / do the same thing as pressing the green confirm button. I would really appreciate being able to use this on my ipod touch

Good App

I really really like this app. However, it doesn’t force safe mode on DuckDuckGo if I open it through safari. Could you fix that? Or add a feature so I can block custom websites? Thank you for this app!

Best mobile filter I’ve found

I like that this forces safe search on search engines because it’s really easy to get around most and see adult images with the right choice of words in a search, even if the url is blocked because you still have the image preview.

However I have Xfinity and am using their router and they prevent changes to the dns addresses for some reason, I guess to be annoying. I got this app to work, though I found the router kept kicking me off the network over and over until I deleted the app. So if you have xFinity and their router, it might not work for you.

Easy to use

Easy setup. I use in conjunction with Apple’s content restrictions.

Needs trouble shouting.

This app does not allow me to use my mobile data, it disables it.

Data connection error

This app was working great for the first few months. Nothing was breaking on my phone and all was well. But about a month ago something changed with the vpn or my iPhone or whatever and now if I have the VPN on it disrupts my Data connection and I can’t use it. I can’t use anything that requires data because it tells me to connect to a network (when I am) and on my certain websites work, others say that there is “no IP address found”

Please try and fix this!
