Wonderful
Super!
Great app!
bad app
3rd one is a charm
Worst app ever
Falling back in my chair as a joke and the app flagged it as “bullying” which I have no idea how that’s related. This app also gives you no privacy and goes through all your text messages, photos and searches which is good for younger kids who are like 5-12 years old but for anyone older then that it makes them feel like their being watched and have no privacy. Hope apps like this will stopped being allowed for teenagers and only for younger kids.

Thank you for sharing this. We understand why privacy and age-appropriate monitoring matter, especially for teens. BrightCanary is designed to help parents identify concerning activity, but AI alerts can sometimes misinterpret context, like a joke or harmless video. We know that can be frustrating. We’re actively exploring ways to make monitoring more age-appropriate and give families more flexibility based on a child’s age and needs. Your feedback is valid, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it.
Finally, a monitoring app that actually works on iPhone!
If you have an iPhone kid and you’ve been losing sleep over what they’re exposed to online, get this app. Worth every penny for the peace of mind alone.
Great monitoring option
Essential App
Terrible text delivery
Wish it worked!
Not specifying apps anymore
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for sharing this feedback. We understand how frustrating this is. This change to the Keyboard is due to a recent iOS update that limits our ability to detect which app the BrightCanary keyboard is being used in, so keyboard activity will show the device name instead of the specific app. Text message monitoring is separate from keyboard monitoring, and message syncing can sometimes be interrupted by Apple/iCloud connection issues. If you’re willing, please contact us at support@brightcanary.io and mention this review so we can look at your account and troubleshoot the missing messages. We’re actively working to improve reliability and add more context.
Great App
Inconsistent
Inconsistent results if you use apple parental controls; child app has AI and now keyboard settings
Response from developer
Thank you for sharing this. We hear your frustration, and we understand how disappointing it is when the app feels inconsistent. Parent feedback like yours is really important to us. Based on this feedback, we’re already planning an update that will let parents disable Canary AI and the settings module on the child’s device. I also want to clarify that Screen Time limits should not affect keyboard monitoring, though they can affect text message delivery timing. If there are gaps in keyboard activity, that usually points to a settings issue on the child’s device. Our support team can help troubleshoot that, and this article covers the most common causes: https://www.brightcanary.io/brightcanary_faq/why-app-says-childs-keyboard-may-have-an-issue/ We know there is still work to do, and we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to leave detailed feedback.

Ok app
Caught my cheating spouse 💯
(Hackspymaster @ Gmailcom., His service is very effective and resourceful with his help I was able to remotely access my partner's cellphone and the activities in it, I was monitoring her and she didn't even know about it because the service was remote in nature and totally untraceable, with a shot time I was able to catch her red handed cheating on me, thanks to Lance for helping me to uncover the truth.
