Important notes for users
- The Kids App Qustodio for iOS install process will ask you to install a special MDM profile and accept special permissions in order to control the internet traffic on the device. This profile can be removed or disabled by you whenever you want. Instructions for installing, uninstalling, and configuring are on our help page.
- When connecting to the internet a VPN symbol will appear on the top of the screen. The VPN connection can be disabled temporarily when needed in the Family Portal or by logging into the Kids App Qustodio on your kids' device.

### 1/5 — hope this app gets deleted

*2026-08-25, version 182.18.2*

It’s lit useless and as a kid(teen) it just gets on my nerves and i almost broke my phone once because of it. This app is straight up useless and it doesnt even work well so if u want your kids to be happy with you and not break their phones, Ipads etc dont put this.

### 3/5 — DO NOT GET

*2026-08-25, version 182.18.2*

If you want to get this for your child think again.
This app is good for security reasons and safety, hence the 3 stars. But the problem is it stops children from having fun on their devices and makes them feel like they’re being monitored and watched. They literally removed all my Wi-Fi and so I can’t chat my parents at school or anything because my Wi-Fi’s blocked. Most of my website based apps have been blocked by Qustodio and now even my Parents are getting annoyed 😠. So for your conscience to be clear about your children, I’d advice go find another app.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-08-24, version 182.18.2*

Butt app, stole my freedom, It does not let me watch YouTube origami tutorials and how to draws, gives me a stupid limit that does not let me search things up after 2 hours. I hate it with my whole bones and jellies in my body. I showed my rabbit 🐇 the app and she disapproves of this app.

### 1/5 — Parental controls

*2026-08-23, version 182.18.2*

I hate this so much as a teen it feels like an invasion of privacy like I do everything they’ve ask me I go to curfew on time and I still have it and my grades are 90 and above and I do extra chores for money and what do you mean I still have this app? And I am doing college classes ?

### 1/5 — How to turn it off

*2026-08-23, version 182.18.2*

Want turn this app off? Of course you do! Sadly it may alert your parents so use at your own risk Go into settings go to VPN and turn off it’s VPN this will turn it off. however it will notify your guardians use at your own risk

### 1/5 — This absolutely sucks.

*2026-08-23, version 182.18.2*

I can’t even write a review long enough to list the reasons why I hate this app. My mom installed this a while ago on my iPad, and it sucks. 1. I don’t have ANY privacy whatsoever 2. It lags all the time 3.i can’t do anything on my iPad because of Quostodio 4. I’m not a baby, so I shouldn’t have this app anyway 5.its so strict 6 it just sucks in general. Quostodio, if you reply, PLEASE know I don’t care about anything ur team says. Ur prolly just bots anyway lol

### 5/5 — SPYWARE

*2026-08-21, version 182.18.2*
