Doesn’t Work

Randomly blocked google and would not stop beeping. It has done this many times now and I feel it isn’t worth the time it takes to set up. 1 star

quality of product is great!

overall. solid app. works well. blocks bad sites. only thing is it has one small weakness. if a child were to disiable cellular data for the app and turn their wifi off. the app doesnt work but the phone is still usable. a bug fix would be to warn if a child accesses the settings app. overall great work and keep going!

irritating issue

Every time when my apps unblock they are all disorganised

Horrible

Honestly my child has been begging me to open it cause it wont let her open WhatsApp to text her friends even when i make sure to only open WhatsApp

Doesn’t work on iOS 26

Straight up it doesn’t work correctly if you want audit your children’s websites without getting in their way. There are three levels: block, warn and monitor. Even if you choose monitor, if will both block and warn. Even if you specifically allow the website and all associated categories, it will still block and warn. Yes, I resynced the app multiple times. I had the same issue across multiple children on multiple devices. I’m done trying to fix it and uninstalling it.
