Horrible

This app made my parents question me for no reason because it flags things that aren’t even bad and even my parents know that the things it flags isn’t even bad . Me and my friends couldn’t remember the name “Kenya” so we searched it up and it said i was being inappropriate for searching up a “city in africa that starts with k”. It completely locks out my phone i needed someone to pick me up from school and i needed to text my parents but qustodio put “ lost iphone” on my phone and i couldn’t even get inside of it. this app sucks and should be deleted. Also it invades my privacy my parents hear my calls, see my messages, roblox chats, literally anything and everything they can probably see im writing this right now to. This app needs to go.

I’m not happy with Qustodio.

They say it’s a safe app for kids, but what they DON’T tell you is that it isn’t. Apparently, it’s been spying on my children who have this app on their iPad. As a parent, I wish I could control what the app does. It’s always spying on my kids, even when they are typing in a password, or texting someone. I’m not happy about that and wish that they wouldn’t spy on children who are not doing anything wrong. Also, it alerts my phone whenever they search ANYTHING or open ANY app or even when they get a NOTIFICATION or TURN ON THIER DEVICE. It’s quite annoying and frustrating and I can’t find a way to turn notifications off. I paid for a premium membership, and will be getting my money back immediately.

Stupid

I cannot access any vpns beacuse of this app it limits too many things

hate this

this app made me so mad i have no privacy anymore i cant do anything and im in 8th grade i cant do anything without someone seeing what im doing i have no privacy it’s like privacy got thrown out the window

How to bypass

Just so you know I thinks this app is horrible. I only have it five stars so you will see this. Open settings, go down to general. Click it. Then go down to VPN and device management. Open that click qustodio management. Then click remove management. Your welcome

Kids hate this no freedom

They will get really mad which I get because it doesn’t let them do anything and they can’t even view comments on YouTube.

Awful

I think the fact that the app has access to your entire device is just dumb and if it turns off your WiFi the apps you can use are useless

Not letting me delete the app.

It is ruining my life because it won’t let me delete it and won’t let me watch what I want to when my parents let me watch it but denies it all the time even searching on google for YouTube

Love it 🥰

My child finally stopped using her phone!! Instead she’s always in her room spending time now 🥰 She seems to be constantly wearing long sleeves in the summer tho, and isn’t talking to me much about school or friendship drama, or about anything at all, but that’s ok, at least she’s now modest and obedient now that she’s off social media 😍 She also doesn’t go out and waste money anymore. What a great child. She also asked for a rope and stool, how creative! Get this app! It’s amazing! It’ll make sure your kids don’t talk to you and trust you anymore, have little to no access to their friends, no privacy, and no free time to relax without feeling watched! Exactly what I wanted.

Data usage

This app uses so much data. My kid has had data for 6 months on his phone and keeps their data off unless necessary. Qustodio has used 26 gigabytes of data in that time. I had to increase my kids data plan while I looked for alternatives. Do not use unless you can afford an UNLIMITED data plan

Seriously 😐

My issue is my parents can see everything on my phone. My texts. What I look up. I have no privacy whatsoever. It also freaks me out how you guys have location on here when there’s another app for that. Other than that it’s okay I guess. This shouldn’t be for teenagers because half of the teenagers in my area don’t have app restrictions and are way more immature than I could ever be.

Worst app ever

You have to pay to get kids off your app? This app is terrible. You pay money though there are many glitches and bugs. Like if your going to make someone pag money to get teens and kids off the internet, at least make it work. Also if your parent(s) dont have any internet connection, they wont be able to use the app so if want more screen time and your parents allow it but you dont have internet which means you can’t access this app. I really hope this app gets deleted. They say you will feel better with less screen time yet not being able to manage being on the internet wint help us mature and this app has caused not just me but many people to feel more stressed, depressed, angry, anxious, etc.

Worst app

I really hate Qustodio because it blocks so many apps and websites that I want to use, even when they’re harmless. It feels overly restrictive and makes using my phone frustrating every day. The constant limits and notifications are really annoying and make me wish I didn’t have to deal with it. I honestly hope the company either changes how restrictive the app is or eventually goes out of business. Would hive no stars if i could.

I HATE THIS

0 stars like it removes internet this is absolute bulls### and it won’t let me watch YouTube no matter how hard I try to watch YouTube and it blocks apps

COME ON BRO😡😡

It blocks all websites and reports it to your parents and it shuts down your wifi and reports if we’re doing “bullying”(which is considered sending normal messages to your friends)everyone one needs their privacy especially preteens and teens!!Dont give a kid an iPhone if you don’t trust them at all on it and get them a watch if your reason is because just in case they need to contact you guys!!DONT LET THIS APP CONTROL YOUR KIDS!!!IT WONT LET THEM SEE THE REAL WORLD WHEN THEYRE ACTUALLY OLD ENOUGH!

Don’t buy it 80 €

Hi this parental control app is really insecure. Your child if he/she has an iphone, can crack it in less than one minute going to settings, administration and deleting the administration app

Spyware

Thats all i wanted to say

Meh…

Qustodio does effectively block things on safari and some times it’s helpful but also it doesn’t let me listen to music that I’ve already downloaded which is super annoying.
