### 3/5 — Apple Watches

*2026-08-08, version 8.15.1*

I’m not her to complain, but PLEASE add compatibility with Apple Watches. I literally have a brand new one in my drawer that I could only use for like a month before it started tweaking.

Thanks

### 1/5 — Lowkey really bad

*2026-07-05, version 8.15.1*

Honestly, this is a really bad app. It has blocked GOOGLE for me. What if I need to search smth up? It also blocked discord for me. I don’t understand why it’s blocking apps that I mostly need that aren’t necessarily needed to be blocked. I can’t use ANYTHING now since most of my apps are now blocked.

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2026-06-29, version 8.15.1*

Whenever my lock my phone, this hide all my apps. When i can use my phone again, all the app out of order. It’s fking annoying. Even worse when i try to rearrange my apps, the system smtimes kicks me out and i have to do all again when get in. Another problem is that i cant place widgets if i use the “system to order” fking useless . There’s time some apps being hide smtime log out my acc, and i have log bck in every single time. The WORST part is “Notes”. My mom didnt not unlock that app and everything is disappeared. I had important things written in there  and theyre just gone. Fix ur the way ur app works bro.. so fkign annoying, is why ur app rates 1 star

### 1/5 — This app dose not work

*2026-06-28, version 8.15.1*

This app doesn’t work my child was able to bypass the code multiple times and disabled everything

### 3/5 — Why doesn’t ourpact jr parental access portal do more than just reassigning the device?

*2026-06-26, version 8.15.1*

I went on my child’s phone and tried to unblock him from there because I left my phone at work, and my kid needed it for a school project and all I could do was reassign the device. Please fix this to where you can also add free time. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-21, version 8.15.1*

This app will ruin your life. Never get it. My parents can control what apps I can have and what I can’t have. If you feel like your parents are strict outside of your phone this will be the cherry on the cake of annoying and controlling. This app is the most annoying sight every time I open my phone. Every time you want to play a game with your friends you have to pause and unpause the stupid app. Everytime I want more screen time I have to text my parents to give me more time on the stupid app. And half the time they don’t answer because there “doing something “ Everyone who sees this give this app a 1star review and give a review of terrible. Overall this app SUCKS!

### 1/5 — Time limit

*2026-06-21, version 8.15.1*

literally the time limit doesnt go off until the parent presses it. and it literally sucks like why does the parent have to do that?

### 1/5 — Man oh man….

*2026-06-19, version 8.15.1*

My mom downloaded this for me back in July of last year, she forgot all about the app, and it was just on her phone untouched. Until recently she started using it and shutting down everything, even my apps that aren’t social media, like the camera app! Why the hell does the camera app have to be blocked?!?! It’s insane that this app can do so much damage to a phone, but once you get this your phone is basically just a screen with nothing to do. If your gonna get this app,well say goodbye to everything, like at this point don’t even bother getting a phone if your parents are gonna download this app.

### 4/5 — Kind of good for Apple

*2026-06-16, version 8.15.1*

This app decided to lock my kids device every single time because he wasn’t sharing his screen with me that is just unacceptable and I think that our pack needs to fix this

### 2/5 — Problems

*2026-06-11, version 8.15.0*

Disorganizes my apps, the allowance does not work.

### 1/5 — Uncomfortable

*2026-06-03, version 8.15.0*

I fell uncomfortable using this app because I like privacy

### 1/5 — Delete it now

*2026-05-31, version 8.15.0*

Please get rid of this app and don’t even say talk to my parents they got me into this mess and why is there a need to make an app for parents to even more force a rule to the point that your phone turns into a useless brick. Why have a phone at that point.

### 3/5 — Can Block Every App

*2026-05-28, version 8.14.0*

The actual screen time thing itself works and is fine, but I despise how parents have the ability to block apps like messages. I’m not sure if they’re able to block the Call app, (oh God I hope not), but assuming you can, most parents (including mine) get their child a phone for one primary reason: SAFETY. I’m sure you could still theoretically emergency call, but most kids don’t know their parents actual numbers! And yes, I know parents don’t have to block basic apps like that (thank God mine don’t), but I’m sure some parents might want to if they don’t want their kid texting/calling their friends all the time. Why not just make a feature to block certain contacts when screen time goes up?

### 1/5 — this app sucks i had it from 11 to 15

*2026-05-22, version 8.14.0*

app should be taken down let kids live there life man im damn near bouta turn 18
well there a very honest and genuine review

### 1/5 — I hate this all

*2026-05-18, version 8.14.0*

This app is literally the worse thing that has ever happened to me. My mom is so annoying. One slip up and boom all apps gone. How is this fair I’m 13 and they want me to be independent but they get mad when i don’t do something the right way or even mess up the tiniest bit. 

Worse app ever invented

### 2/5 — Camera

*2026-05-07, version 8.14.0*

What I don’t like is that you can’t use the camera

### 1/5 — I hate this app sm

*2026-05-06, version 8.14.0*

I hate this app bc every time limit takes your apps away fully, you don’t put in a password, it takes them away so you can’t even get them back. And when you get them back? You have to rearrange them again.

### 1/5 — horrible app

*2026-05-05, version 8.14.0*

has many problems and bugs preventing the child from using basic utilities and several other issues such as not letting apps like safari run, even when screen time is set on. It also does not let “always allowed” setting bypass blocks like that, so in result my son does not have access to the internet. Although it does sometimes work for its purpose, it has many glitches and problems making it only a liability for your child’s devices.

### 1/5 — Helpful sometimes but not fun all the time

*2026-05-05, version 8.14.0*

I hate this app this is the worse app ever it’s only good for young kids or young teens it’s not that good for adults I rate the app 1 out of 1 negative trillions

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — BAD

*2026-08-18, version 8.15.1*

This app is the worst app ever
I can’t use most of my apps now
And why block apps that you call on?
I can’t even talk to my friends cuz of this
I do not recommend this

### 1/5 — Dangerous

*2026-08-15, version 8.15.1*

This app is extremely dangerous knowing that it restricts a CHILD from communication and connection. This highly negatively affects a child’s or a teen’s mental health, and even worse, what if there is a situation where they need serious help? Or in other cases school events or even their job? This risks them from getting demoted from opportunities that could’ve been beneficial. I am extremely disappointed and this app should be taken down ASAP.

### 1/5 — Don’t use this app

*2026-08-15, version 8.15.1*

If there are parents reading this review, DON’T DOWNLOAD IT. You’re better off letting your children use their phones as much as they want than making them hate both you and ourpact. My parents have been using this garbage to turn my phone off at 8PM and it makes me want to leave my house and never come back while leaving behind a note that says “I hate you”

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-14, version 8.15.1*

When you unrestrict an app it takes hours to actually get unrestricted on your device. No matter how many restarts and shutdowns to my ipad i STILL cannot get that one app unrestricted. And if you get frustrated with the app and delete it, EVERYTHING DISSAPEARS. This app freaking sucks. Just stick with the regular screen time and not this sucky app. For any parent reading this, i know it may seem really safe for your kid, but just PLEASE just stick with the screen time that comes with the device and make sure to monitor your kids hours to avoid confusion for you and your kids

### 1/5 — Amazing!

*2026-08-13, version 8.15.1*

This app is so good and always works. Recently I got it for my daughter and she’s picking up some new hobbies! Like knot tying, I’m not sure what the other one is but it must be DIY with all the blades she’s bringing in her room! Amazing!

### 1/5 — ?????

*2026-08-03, version 8.15.1*

this app has to be one of the worst apps created ever it destroys your phone. It doesn’t let you use Apple Pay. It doesn’t let you use Spotify even when it’s loud it makes no sense for a parent to have this other kids unless they just wanna be if you wanna get a phone and your parents decide to download this app might as well not get a phone anymore. It’s so stupid and completely ruins the phone for its purpose. I hate this app and. want to get banned and I am on my hands and knees, begging for this app and praying for this app to get deleted

### 1/5 — I wouldn’t recommend for neurodivergent kids or people suffering from depression

*2026-07-21, version 8.15.1*

Sometimes apps like these are handy, but this app is a complete virus, so many restrictions, and the just simple way to cut your children off from the world, this is the easiest way to make your children depressed, and spend more time on their phone to get the most out of it, and then have fits and depressive episodes during the night.

### 1/5 — doesn't work

*2026-07-19, version 8.15.1*

my mom got this app for me and like the title says, it just doesn't work (not that i'm mad about it but it's a waste of money.) The app doesn't monitor anything unless the child goes in after the phone is locked every time and clicks a button that lets it monitor your phone. Let's be real, no one is doing that.

### 1/5 — Wish it didn’t exist

*2026-07-06, version 8.15.1*

Hate it

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-07-05, version 8.15.1*

Please never do this to your kid

### 5/5 — Parents get this now!!!!

*2026-07-30, version 8.15.1*

I got this for my daughter. She was being mean to me and started hitting me so I blocked her from using her Apple Watch iPad and phone. She grabbed the apple shredder from the kitchen and told me this is now the human shredder. I don’t know what she meant by that, but I thought it was good so she went up to her room and found a new hobby. It is now pouring ketchup all over the room I think because I see it leaking out from under the door. She hasn’t come out for two days now, but that’s OK 
she locked the Door, because she is doing something she likes to do I think .parents, you need to get this my daughter is doing great!!,(I believe.)

### 5/5 — please don't do this to your kid

*2026-04-19, version 8.14.0*

I struggle with my mental health and no matter how many times i told her it wasnt my mum thought my phone was the problem so she downloaded this app on my phone. it created aurguments between me and my mum and it just made my mental health worse to be honest but she wont listen when i tell her that. the play/pause thing doesnt work so my mum just does it manually and she forgets most of the time. also when she downloaded it on my phone she didnt tell me what it was so when it did download everything on my phone dissapeared and whenever i want to download an app i have to wait for it to notify the app which takes like a day so i have to wait until the next day to get the app. if you are a parent reading this please dont do this to your child it no joke ruined my life and if you are a child reading this dont let your parent get this and show them this review

### 5/5 — Some things..

*2026-01-01, version 8.13.0*

So I used this until I realized how it affects the phone and has some bugs in it. If I decide to turn off an app such as messages, all the texts my kid would get when turned off would be deleted. it also caused their messages to go green which they weren’t very happy about. It’s good for parental control but all the glitches led me to screen time on normal apple phones, which is 10/10 times better.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-11-17, version 8.12.0*

A great app ;)

### 5/5 — only rated 5 stars so you guys can see it.

*2025-07-28, version 8.10.0*

I downloaded this app thinking that it would be something to help me and my child learn boundaries instead my kid ended up crying every night because of this app it should be canceled.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-07-19, version 8.10.0*

My mom and dad use our pack Jr

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-07-12, version 8.10.0*

This is an awesome app!! I really love that I can arrange my apps, and when they go away then come back, they’re arranged the way I want them! I get to start my time when I want, just at the touch of a button. And my mom can supervise so I don’t get into trouble. 110% recommend!!

### 5/5 — Where did my apps go?

*2025-07-05, version 8.10.0*

So I deleted this app and all of my apps got deleted with it. Where did they go? Now? I’m gonna have to manually download all of my apps back. How do I delete it without deleting my apps? I’m only doing it five stars so I can get it soon. Please don’t do this for your kids ruins their life. They get so angry at the parents and then of course you’ll get attached to it because gay screen time blocker but it’s just a scam. It’s just another way to get the kids angry at the parents now please fix it because every time I deleted it it delete all my apps it deserves zero stars, but I put five stars since nobody has responded to me

### 5/5 — It’s not working

*2025-05-03, version 8.10.0*

It was working until now but you can’t delete the app as it goes away and it is the weekends and no apps come back

### 5/5 — Please this is a good app but can you make in so it tells you when are apps are on

*2025-03-08, version 8.10.0*

Can you make it so it will tell us when our apps turn on it really annoying when your parents turn on your apps but you didn’t know they were on
