Hello again 🥹✌️

Sorry I’m back again! I just wanted to give out a suggestion. We all know the bedtime blocking thingy where it blocks your phone at 20:00 on work days and 22:00 (I think) on weekends. What if the parents had the ability to change that time or turn it off? (Or both). Just throwing it out there 😖✌️✌️

Hey, thanks for coming back to share your thoughts again! We really appreciate your suggestion about giving parents the option to adjust or disable the bedtime blocking times. Having more flexibility around those settings makes a lot of sense, especially with everyone's different schedules. We're always looking at ways to make Kidslox work better for families, so we'll definitely share this idea with our team. Thanks for helping us keep improving — we’re glad to have you with us!

Not good

If there is anything wrong with app the team is never able to help absolutely waste of money and too expensive for what an iPhone or iPad can already do without paying extra. Just deleted it and the money is wasted for the whole year when you make payment it looks like you are paying monthly but once the money is paid it’s actually gone for the whole year.

They ruined the app 5 lock per day is a joke plus limitations

Greedy bait-and-switch! Utterly useless now.Kidslox completely ruined their free version by locking the basic lock feature behind a paywall. Worse, if you pay for their $19.99/year Basic plan, it is a total ripoff—you are restricted to just 1 device and get hit with red "X" marks across almost every safety feature, including zero social media monitoring, no nudity scanner, and no remote viewing. They want up to $49.99/year just to get basic protection. Holding a child's safety hostage for a glitchy app is shameful. Deleted. Save your money and just use Apple Screen Time or Google Family Link for free.

Que belo lixo

O aplicativo funciona com deveria,só que eu não tenho como fazer mais nada,além do mais o aplicativo é inútil já que você paga um valor absurdo pra ficar monitorando o celular do filho e bloquear ele de fazer qualquer coisa,enquanto isso ele não tem vida social nas redes porque não tem tempo pra fazer as coisas,tudo tem que ser estremamente regulado porque se não o seu tempo limite acaba.Odeio esse aplicativo,odeio quem criou ele,odeio essa empresa e odeio tudo relacionado a esses aplicativos de monitoramento,sinceramente estou começando a odiar a minha mãe e estou assim que o primeiro ano do ensino médio chegar eu vou desinstalar essa bost4

Need a computer science degree to install

I tried so hard to make this work. I even bought a new computer to install it. It still would not install. Can’t get even a partial refund. I’m done.

This is the worst app i have ever used, people shouldn’t be allowed to control their kids every move.

As a child with this app,

It is not great at all. I don’t say it because it limits my time (which I of course dislike), but because it’s limiting essential apps for me that shouldn’t be! Waze, WhatsApp, google docs, printing app— even my app for my scooter! I understand social media and games, but you need to remember there are apps i and other children need to use for other purposes!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We understand how frustrating it can be when apps you need, like Waze, WhatsApp, or your scooter app, get limited unexpectedly. Kidslox aims to balance screen time with access to important tools, but we know it’s a challenge to get that just right. We’re actively looking at ways to improve app filtering and usability based on feedback like yours. If you—or your parents—have specific questions or need help adjusting settings, our support team is here to assist. Thanks again for helping us make Kidslox better for everyone!

리뷰 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 해킹 관련 설정과 앱 잠금, 연령 등급 조정 때문에 불편을 겪으신 점 정말 안타깝습니다. Kidslox는 자녀의 디지털 사용을 관리하는 도구로, 설정이 사용 환경에 맞게 조절되는 게 중요하다는 점 저희도 잘 알고 있습니다. 말씀하신 부분은 저희 팀과 공유하겠으며, 더 나은 경험을 위해 계속 노력하겠습니다. 필요하시면 언제든 지원팀에 문의해주세요. 앞으로도 더 좋은 Kidslox가 되도록 힘쓰겠습니다!

terrible

this app is terrible. My my dad put it on my sister’s iPad and my phone. It doesn’t work on my phone which I’m happy about and it worked on my sister’s ipad and she was just searching something that happened in dance moms and it sent a text message to my parents and said that she searched up something with nudity when she didn’t so this app is terrible. I don’t recommend it if you’re going to think about downloading this app please don’t your kids. Will hate you and honestly kidslox. Just isn’t the best.

Flaws

Sucks because many apps have a no internet error and it’s so annoying. Kids mode ruins it because you can’t do many things with the internet error, and my parents arent good with technology and they dont know how to fix it, and they wont put me on parent mode.

Better on the weekends for me

This is the best app ever, but on the weekday stuff like extra time don’t feel much necessary, but the weekend they do because at morning, I have a class on the iPad and then that just takes some time away from like my other, my other playtime on iPad, but still good
