New version not realistic to use
Response from developer
Thanks for being with Ever Accountable for so many years. We’re really sorry this update has been frustrating. The new iOS version works differently due to Apple requirements, which can cause things like monitoring turning off after calls and stricter content filtering. We know this isn’t ideal and are actively working to improve the experience. In the meantime, adjusting your whitelist may help reduce interruptions. If you’re open to it, our support team would be glad to help: support@everaccountable.com. We truly appreciate your feedback, it helps us keep improving.

New app is awful
Update three as of January 28, 2026. My wife just continued to get Aaron messages that I needed her support immediately. This was happening in the middle of her workday. Support team keeps telling me their engineering team is working on it, but there’s been no results. The response from them below is a joke. They act like they sincerely want to help, but they do nothing to stop the lousy app from malfunctioning. they kept telling me the Eruda toolbox was not a problem from ever accountable, however, it’s funny that it went away as soon as I deleted the app. This app was supposed to help support me and my wife to know that I was not doing anything as far as acting out, but it just caused more problems between us.
Update two as of January 25, 2026 Ever Accountable just keeps piling up the nonsense. In Safari, I now have a hammering wrench in the bottom right corner of my screen that I cannot get rid of. Thanks for making my online experience just miserable.
From ChatGPT
“Ever Accountable v19.1.30 is the known-bad build that exposes the Eruda debug console overlay in Safari on iOS 26.x.
That hammer-and-wrench button you’re seeing is 100% a bug in EA 19.1.30, not Safari, not malware, and not a shopping helper.”
UPDATE: As of JAN 17, 2026 the broadcast is malfunctioning! It’s on, but my apps are still locked out. Great job seizing my phone.
You’ve locked out my Bible and faith apps, banking & investments, maps, calendar, calculator, Adobe, email, Ring doorbell, ADT security, and others that make no sense at all and all add up on my 50 app limit. It’s not practical to have to “unlock” everything every 2 minutes. I watched your video, I’m not nearly as excited as you are.
I shouldn’t have to through your unlock function to get to my ADT Security app for goodness sake. I watched your “explainer video” and the other response. You have made my phone a flip phone and you just keep blaming Apple.
The app was better when I didn’t have to think about it and press the button every time I open my phone. This is not helpful. It actually creates anxiety more than it helps me.
Oh yeah, you blocked my Covenant Eyes/ Victory Shield accountability app too. Good grief.
So this morning there was an update and I thought “oh great, maybe they fix some of the problems“, nope, they just made it worse and my 50 apps that I had on the White list are now gone and I have to do it all over again. thanks so much Ever Accountable for making things even worse within 24 hours of this awful update.
And the issues just pile up. For the last two nights at midnight, the app has reported to my accountability partner, my wife, that I was disconnected from the app. Doesn’t say how long just that I was disconnected at midnight, both nights. This update is causing nothing but stress, strife, and a rift between my wife and I. Thanks a lot.
Great app!
When I was deciding which app to use, I had three main priorities: it had to work across all my Apple devices (MacBook, iPhone, and iPad), keep my data secure from hackers, and not be easy to get around the monitoring.
So far, it’s worked well on all my Apple devices.
I also like that their security practices are audited by a third party (ISO certified). That lets me know they’re actually protecting my data from hackers how they claim they are.
And the app takes screenshots on each device, which honestly feels like the only real way to prevent workarounds of the monitoring and make accountability actually work.
There are probably apps out there which are more convenient to use, but at the expense of there being easier ways to get around the monitoring
Response from developer

Developers listen
Their newest update was unnecessary for me and low key bricked my phone , it was a really frustrating user experience. That being said I’m glad they listened to feedback and rollback the update and give the choice now.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it / but now if you want to go that route at least you can.
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to share this we really appreciate the honest feedback. We know the recent update created a frustrating experience for some users, and we’re truly sorry for that. Our goal is always to improve protection and usability, never to disrupt your phone or daily life. We’re grateful for the feedback we received during that time, and we’re glad we were able to make adjustments and restore choice so each person can use Ever Accountable in the way that works best for them. Thank you for sticking with us and for being part of the conversation it genuinely helps us do better.
A company that listens to and hears its customers!
Response from developer
Thank you so much for sticking with us for 8 years that truly means a lot to our team. We hear you loud and clear: screenshots matter. When they were temporarily unavailable in a recent update, we understood how important that feature is for many of our longtime users. We’re happy to say that screenshots are back, and we’re incredibly grateful for your patience while we worked through the update. Your feedback genuinely helps shape the direction of Ever Accountable, and we don’t take that lightly. Thank you again for being part of this journey with us.
Update - Love the fix
Update ruined app and functionality
Hijacked is a good word to describe this situation. You pay for an annual subscription, the developers change the core features of the app and how it operates, and you are left with an app that no longer works.
I’m extremely conflicted as I truly believe old EA was the best accountability software when combined with IOS screen time restrictions. Now I’m inclined to look to other companies - this update ruined the app.
Response from developer
Hi there, We’re truly sorry this update has been frustrating, especially after 5+ years with us. We deeply value your loyalty and understand how disruptive big changes can feel. Apple doesn’t allow developers to offer previous versions, but our team has worked hard to make this update strong and reliable. Please reach out to support at support@everaccountable.com we’d love to help.
App is Garbage
The app basically bricks your phone the moment you give it permission. I shouldn’t have to whitelist basic and necessary apps to use my phone. You have to start a screen record broadcast to use any app not whitelisted. The AI that “monitors” your screen will flag ANYTHING that is slightly inappropriate. Basically, your accountability partner will be notified and sent a screenshot for anything they flag as inappropriate. This is not building trust, this is invasion of privacy and ultimately leads to questions from your partner on what you’re doing. The screen broadcast lags my phone, and adding it as a widget does nothing to make unlocking my apps faster. And randomly, you’ll unlock the apps and then after 3 seconds, all the apps lock back up while you’re still sharing your screen. So what’s the point of this stupid feature that doesn’t work. I understand trying to to quit p**n but my goodness you do not need to lock my phone down. If I could leave this with 0 stars I would. The owner seems so proud in his “why” video. This is not something to be proud of. Especially if you’re charging a monthly subscription.
