Great App!

This app is super easy to set up, and works really well. It doesn’t affect performance on your device at all, and it has significantly helped me. The only thing I have a complaint about is that it is really easy to disable the monitoring. If they made this more difficult to access, the app would be near perfect!

Helpful tool, best price

I found A2Y to be a great tool to help me stay accountable and stay off porn. I think it is best used in conjunction with accountability from people at your local church. I do wish that it did take random pictures and send it to your partners like other accountability software does. It does have the best price I think of any accountability software, so I really like that!

Extremely beneficial in fight against sin; a few minor discrepancies

It’s been great to have accountability for searching on the internet. A few things, if you are on social media it likely won’t catch what you search up, or if you go and view images on safari if may not sent an alert to your partner. There is still raw honesty required with partners when using this software; but overall it does a fantastic job with catching the most obscene things.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for sharing here! We couldn't agree more about the need for honesty in an accountability relationship, and we are honored that you use Accountable2You in your journey! 🙌 Trouble with alerts not going out for Safari searches is definitely not normal, so feel free to reach out to support@accountable2you.com on this–we'd love to dig in with you.

Happy customer

We’ve used this program for years in our home and have been very happy with it.

Useless

App doesn’t work or show any data within the app, instead takes you to a browser. You operate from a browser in the app? Does not block, prevent or alert of any inappropriate, trouble related content online. A child could and probably does work around this software. Absolutely useless

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your experience here! It sounds like you may have run into some setup trouble with our apps (we have 1 for reporting and 1 for monitoring). When you get a chance, give us a shout at support@accountable2you.com about this. We'd love the opportunity to help get things set up correctly for you! 🙂

iOS problems

iPhone App blocks data. I have this software on my Mac book and iPad and it works great. Last week I had to remove it from my iPhone because it shut down all cellular data connections and made the phone unusable. Please find a solution.

Awesome App

I have personally met the creators at a Christian convention and they were the reason I switched from a competitor.

The price is just, better.

The software works, as long as you do the work. The app is easy to use. I LOVE IT.

Thank you A2U team for your commitment to men and women of God. I love you.

Super easy to use

The app only takes a few minutes to set up, and doesn’t have any noticeable effect on device performance!

Support is lacking

Has many instances of erroneous or incomplete data. Use caution before downloading.

Great Cost Saving Measure as a Parent 💸🤑

In addition to allowing you to view everything your teenager does regardless of if it’s something you should even be looking at, this app also has some major added benefits!

If your child already suffers from annoying bouts of depression 😞😞😞, this app can help end them permanently!

How it works is: by stripping them of their privacy 👁️ it can lower their mental health even further to the point where they seriously consider ending their own life every time you come talk to them about any of the frequent false positives this app provides! 😊👍 If your kid already has stupid made up conditions like, “Autism,” 🚂🐘💉it can work even faster! In tandem with such other parenting measures as having spanked them when they were younger and homeschooling them, this app may well cause your child to kill themselves! 🪦🕊️

When your child does kill themselves, you can expect potential yearly savings in the tens of thousands! 💸💸💸 You read that right: TENS OF THOUSANDS!!!

As a teenager who had this app on their phone against their will, I can personally attest to the results.✅✅✅ After only a few months of this app, I already have a full fledged plan to end my own life via helium asphyxiation, 🎈which can be done on any day at the bathroom of the Walmart near my home! 🏠 My mother (who I unfortunately now hate as a more negative side effect of this app 😔😢💔) can expect significant savings any day now 🥳😺🙌

Overall Good, But Makes Network Noticeably Slower

I really like the app. I am a person who has previously struggled with pornography over many years, it really gives my wife a great sense of assurance that I’m working hard to keep my eyes pure. The only real con that I see with this app is, it does make the network connection on my phone noticeably slower. I don’t seem to have the same issue on the desktop version, but I do on the iOS version. Hoping to find a way to improve that.

False reporting

Do not use this app it makes false reports constantly!! It will show 5 different websites at once and report them!

Waste of Money And Time.

DONT GET THIS it flags Normal Things Red, Resident Evil Is Normal. But Apparently It’s VERY QUESTIONABLE.

Terrible performance

This app used to be good but over the last year it has degraded significantly. It constantly resets the vpn which blocks the internet while it is doing it. And it slows down often. They have had these performance issues without resolution and its been getting worse.

Waste of money!! Only works sometimes

Seemingly randomly, the app only tracks data when it wants to. Some days you can look at the report and see everything that happened, other days it will show one app used for one minute for the whole day. Not a very good app I would recommend trying something else.

Data Hog?

The latest version chewed up 1.5GB of my data plan, which seems really high.

Corrupt business

I had to use this app for 3 years because of probation conditions and during that time my camera would turn on by itself pretty often, about once every few weeks or so. And this is just the times that I caught it eavesdropping on my conversations. Also my phone would start playing music out of nowhere and this at the time were brand new phones because I thought it might be a problem with the phones or the service provider. I even switched providers. I started using the app and privacy reports to see which apps were accessing my data when I would catch my camera being used and sure enough it was accountabletoyou. It’s been over a year since I have had the software downloaded on my phone and have not had any problems with my camera turning on. You guys hide behind God and use God’s name in vain but spy on your users like a bunch of creeps. I hope this review helps others.

Thanks for sharing your concerns! It isn't possible for our app to access the camera or microphone — you can confirm this by reviewing the privacy settings under Settings » Privacy & Security » Camera/Microphone. That said, feel free to reach out to support@accountable2you.com if you have any further questions about how our app works! 🙂

Helpful Customer Service

I had a great email exchange with the customer service representative with accountable to you and they helped me very effectively and efficiently with my issue!

Extremely Disappointed.

If I could give zero stars I would. I am extremely disappointed in A2U services and response. I have been a user since October 2024 and have relied on the promised services to monitor and report ALL app usages and to browser services. However, this company does not provide that. For several months they have not reported pornographic use on my partners phone. I have paid for their service to report ALL usage of that content, and yet they failed to do so. Oh but they “report” when “secret antiperspirant” was used. I’m extremely disappointed and upset by the lackluster response I received from the company. Instead of receiving a FULL refund, I was issued only a partial. I paid for their services to report ALL usages of inappropriate content and that was not delivered. I also appreciated them using AI slop to respond to me.
I would and will never recommend this product to anybody else. Families, couples, wives, husbands, parents, if you are searching for an accountability app to use, find something different. They are unreliable and don’t deliver what services you pay for.

Horrible, ineffective; Don’t waste your time.

My partner (“recovering” PA) and I started using this app at the beginning of the month and it took me less than a week to hate it.

The only thing is flags are keywords, or when the app’s VPN is switched off- NOTHING else.
To even get somewhat accurate and useful data about how your partner is using their device, you have to go to A2U’s actual website on a search engine, and request an export of a data report in the form of an xls file.

The exported report has a TON of blind spots and pretty much is only useful for giving you the exact times they were using apps.
For example- even with screen time restrictions and this app, he was able to bypass all of that and watch a video of an OF creator on Youtube- it was explicit and NOT FLAGGED AT ALL.
A2U did not flag the explicit video, did not flag him deleting his Youtube history, and even when I viewed the “detailed” exported report- it only showed videos that he searched, not even everything he watched.
If he clicks on a video that shows up on his homepage regardless of the content rating, all you will see on the A2U report is the time and date that Youtube (for example) was used, and where the title of the video he watched should be it only says “Apple Restriction- Activity Not Recorded”.

Not to mention the accountability partner app to view what your partner is doing is not easy to read, and inaccurate. The only semi-detailed information it gives you is through the report emailed to you via request off the A2U website; as I said above that is also virtually useless and will require you to do digging anyways to get the truth.

Total waste of effort, time, and money- try literally any other app, this one is entirely useless.
