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.

The worst

Bro I can’t even tell you how bad it’s kidslox like bro I hate we I am trying play a game it like lock bro the worst L

Mala app

They re crooks they stole 68 dollars from me i nevera agreed to the suscription Yet they went ahead and did it anyway

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

I hate this app

I Hate this app as my locking time is too early

This app is a scam and it is broken 😡

First of all before this stupid lock came I had a good relationship with my parents after the lock came the relationship is almost dead and all conversations ends with screaming at each other.
Second reason is the reviews and it always say something about deleting the app and it still locks then they need to FACTORY RESET the hole device losing everything they had in there

This sucks so bad do not recommend

My mom put this on my tablet this is terrible I hate this so much do not recommend. It is unfair and unreliable I guess the password each time. Do not recommend for parents never get this for your kids because I am a kid and they will resent you forever if you get this app. ☹️😡😞

Hi

Hi

Bad app

There are many things wrong with this manly the fact that it runs via a vpn and that means they can control you whole phone or iPad not good

Very bad app

I have had this app for a few months now and I tried deleting it and when I did half of my apps were still locked even tho I already deleted it.Do not get this app it will ruin ur phone.stupid app🤦‍♀️😤😡.

Cant delete

We do not use the app anymore but I cannot get it off of my phone, when I use our code to try switching into parent mode and going from there, it will just crash and kick me out. The code works and it gives me the option to switch, but it does not actually work. I don’t have the option to delete it and my parent deleted it a long time ago so that had not been much help

READ THIS PLEASE ⚠️

⚠️ Read the paragraph as my review is kind of important to the parents prior to getting this app for their kid! ⚠️


Hi! Its the kid talking. I have noticed a problem with Kidslox Youtube Video Blocker. There are music videos and regular videos that are flagged as inappropriate by the moderation that are nowhere close to inappropriate or have any profanity or such at all. There was a video of a drawing of a person that was holding the one special finger… and a video of video game characters doing not appropriate things. Its a great app overall but there are some videos that are not flagged as inappropriate that little kids should not be viewing at their age. Please find a way to fix this.

Complicated and problematic

I have tried using this app twice. First time, after a couple months, it started locking my daughter’s phone automatically out of nowhere. But it worked for 6 months. Second time now after a couple years it’s even worse. It very complicated to install , good luck with the “advanced features” they ask for you to do simple things like unblocking music while on lock mode. keeps asking for more and more , puts her phone on lock mode during the day with no reason even though it is a different phone. Asks you deactivate stolen mode on phone settings to be able to install features …. Just don’t .

I HATE KIDSLOX IT RUINED MY LIFE ITS AN IDITO

I HATE THIS APP LGST RID OF IT ITS STUPID AND DUMB FLIP IT

Why is it so hard to set up?

My son got a new phone and I’m trying to set Kidslox up on it. I’m about to cancel my subscription. It shouldn’t be this difficult.

Parent

Ruins your kids life, don’t use it

Buyer beware

This app doesn’t work properly. After you’ve paid for the advanced subscription you can’t actually connect your child’s device. So it’s worthless. We spent 2 days trying to connect it for the advanced features which by the way need to be done from a desktop computer. I don’t understand why the app can’t be managed only from a device. And don’t expect to get your money back either. I’ve had to go thru Apple to request a refund because Kidslox won’t do it. I had the program for less than 10 days. There are much better apps out there.

Lifelong subscription

I’ve had this same account for my kids devices for like 5 or 6 years now. It’s wonderful
