Does not help your child or children
The developers are completely incompetent. App notifications from the child aren't coming through.
I have an iPhone and my child android and it doesn’t give me statistics of what he was doing on his phone. I can’t see his activities
Mi hija de 10 años solo para en su habitación no deja de hacer manualidades me pidió una soga y hizo una canasta hermosa y me la regaló de madre y otra cosa pienso que es muy fuerte lo maximo que puede usar su dispositivo son 9 horas después de hay se le bloquea ame la app
Sakın ama sakın indirmeyin bazı salak ebeveyinler bunu faydalı bulmuş ama bu çok iğrenç bir uygulama çocuklara halat ı tavana bağlayın diyormuş sonra çocuklar kendini asıyormuş bunu çocuklarınızın ekran süresinizi azaltmak için indirtmeyin sakın lütfen bana inanın indirmeyin çocuklarımızı koruyalım.🙏🏻yayalım

Controls and scheduling doesn’t always apply and work regardless of how many times you put it in and refresh. You might have 4hr daily limit and they have been on 2hrs, and tells you they still have 3hrs to go or they’ve been on it 5.5hrs and tells you they have 2hrs remaining
Cuando quise poner algunas apps nunca me dejaba, no puedo ni desvincular la cuenta de mi hijo y tuve más líos que mejoras, pésimo!
This is perfect to monitor my kids activities. No need for me to be up at nights to make sure they are sleeping or watching inappropriate age group related videos. I recommend this to all parents
as a teenager this app and every control app ruins my life. if you care about you kids mental health and their life you wouldn’t install this app.
I hate this
Best app to control kids screen time
Horrible app, downloaded on my daughters phone for school and after update it started glitching. Now the phone is locked, won’t access WiFi or network and I have done everything to unlock it. Can’t use a parent access code when the app is blocking the data network to the phone! I highly discourage anybody from using this app, unless you want your child’s phone to lock up and you as the parent be unable to control it.

Esta aplicación es muy efectiva pero a la vez dañina porque eso les deja dicho a todos los niños del M nos que la mayoría de los padres solo nos ven como un estorbo y no confían es nos ptro ellos creen que somos bebés nosotros somos adolecentes debemos exigir que nos dejen desarrollar la confianza entre nosotros mismos porque muchos jóvenes solo quieren ser vistos por el mundo pero como lo hacen si ni siquiera sus padres confían en ellos yo soy adolecente yo hoy alzo la voz contra todos los jóvenes que necesitan una app para que sus padres los monitores todo el tiempo exigí y reclamo nuestros derechos no nos quedemos callados alzan su voz jóvenes háganse escuchar no dejen que la crueldad adulta nos apague seamos el futuro pero a nuestro modo como nos sintamos libres

I love the parental controls very easy to use and immediately control whenever a protocol is updated. I just wish the Chromebook was more compatible with School applications.
Love the app especially the fact I can always find my kids iPad and devices on my phone.
