I REALLY DON’T LIKE THIS APP

I really don’t like this app, it makes me want to throw my phone across the room. I genuinely don’t even want to use my phone anymore. AT&T y’all played for real.

this is not the way.

listen, i’m a kid. i know that most teens need a screentime, probably including myself, and also monitoring. however, this app is NOT the way. Completely blocking your child’s internet access at night sounds good in theory, but what happens if there’s an emergency? You can’t even use google. Sometimes it blocks searches in the daytime, so god forbid they have to search up a hotline while they’re home alone. God forbid you’re choking and they need to search up how to do the Heimlich maneuver on you past their bedtime. There are also practical issues that I’ve encountered. They won’t be able to. I just spent 7 minutes trying to search up breakfast recipes. I tried four different browsers, restarting the app, restarting my phone, reloading the page, giving new wordings. I still don’t have my breakfast recipe and it’s not past my bedtime. This isn’t even the only time this has happened. I tried to search up the lymphatic system and it blocked my search. Same with how to do a pull up. I can’t search for an egg recipe on youtube. Hell, even my PERIOD TRACKER app, even the planet fitness app, is not loading, even when i’m supposed to have internet access in the daytime. I tried sending a message in my family whatsapp group 4 hours ago, and it still has not sent. I can no longer connect to my home wifi, and i am forced to use only cellular data about 90% of the time because the VPN messes with the wifi signal. I have to do my homework in the basement, as my school issued iPad that used to connect to my hotspot (which no longer works because the VPN messes with it), only works when in the same room as the wifi router located in the basement. I used to be able to fall asleep quickly while listening to classical music, but because of my bedtime, even music doesn’t load past 10PM. I understand wanting to set a screentime for your kid. I really do. But this is just not the way.

I got u guys

Umm I’m prolly gon get beat but idc. Js delete the app and u get full access ta ur internet. It’s that simple unless u care about getting in trouble but I don’t. Have a nice night on ur phone baddies🫶🫶

this sucks

This is coming from a child. This app is totally invasive. If you delete it I think it sends a notification to your parents. It has all your app data. Any new app you wanna download in my case it was PolyBuzz, it only works sometimes other times it doesn’t. It affects your WiFi and you can’t even turn off the vpn. You have no privacy at all

(Parent btw) you have to bye this!!!! Read why 👇🏼(July 26 2026)

I have no regrets buying this in any way!!!! My daughter got mad so I banned her phone iPad and Apple Watch. She grabbed the apple shredder from the kitchen and told me “ this is now called the human shredder “i did not know what she ment by that but she went up to her room and I think she found something she really liked to do!! She likes to put ketchup all over the room, I think because there is a bunch under the door, she won’t let me come in, the door is locked, she had not come out in 5 days but she is doing really well!! (I think..)
