This app does NOT work in any way at all. This isn’t a complaint about quality or features. It literally does not work at all. It does nothing. It loads no news feed. It does nothing. It should be pulled from the app store. Do not waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — No good until... *2015-10-05, version 1.0.2* It will never be any good until you eliminate search bar. As long as kids can look up pages, there's enough porn and smut out in Facebook to make this app just a doorway to get to it! Parents won't like until they can be sure it's safe! And its not... ### 5/5 — Nothing out there like it! *2014-03-03, version 1.0.2* Being a social media expert AND mom, I highly recommend FamilyControls! There just isn't anything out there like it (which I don't understand...we live in a time when parental controls are needed more than ever). THANK YOU, Loytr, Inc.! Great "Mom Approved" app! ### 5/5 — Facebook lock out control *2014-01-24, version 1.0.1* All I can said is you need to get this APP. Because it's so awesome!!! 😎👍 ### 5/5 — So happy to know my kids will be safer! *2013-12-13, version 1.0.1* This app really takes care of the main issues I am concerned about when it comes to my kids being on Facebook. Thank you so much for caring enough to help us parents make our kids safer! ### 5/5 — Prevent Your Kid From Friending Buck Fuddy *2013-12-12, version 1.0.1* True story: my son is wicked smart, and thinks he knows everything. But I caught him making friends with Buck Fuddy online and it never occurred to him that this might not be a nice person, or someone he should be concerned about! I want to trust him online and give him some freedom but the helicopter parent in me just couldn’t let go… until now. I just set up his iPad, and his Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts are all monitored, and I know he’s not going to accept random friend requests because he can’t, I locked that down! I feel better knowing that I will be in the loop on what he’s doing online. And hopefully, now, we can avoid a repeat of Mr. Buck Fuddy trying to make nicey nice with my boy! ## Frequently asked questions about Parental Controls for Facebook ### What is the price of Parental Controls for Facebook?
