PARENTS DO NOT INSTALL ON YOUR CHILDS PHONE IT IS A MALWARE INDUCED CONFIGURATION PROFILE
My parents recently installed Qustodio onto my phone in hopes of tracking harmful messages. It completely failed, although they set it up right Qustodio failed to actually track them. Don’t even get me started on the thousands of other problems:
1. VPN is set in America so if you’re outside the US your child’s phone will become unusable even with permissions on.
2. Random popups will appear out of nowhere telling me to sign back into my apple account, ones just saying “ok” and nothing else and ones telling me my storage is getting full even though it’s not.
3. Randomly it would make me send messages I didn’t even write such as sending the app TikTok to my Mum automatically for nothing, literally just telling her to “install it”
4. Apple Pay would constantly be disabled because Qustodio triggers lost mode every time a feature happens such as downtime. I had to re-add my cards and enable them all again once more.
I could keep going on but I wrote this pretty late and I’m tired. Do not install this on your child’s phone unless you’re willing to buy them a new one.

Terrible Valie
Paid almost $100 for the Qustodio basic plan to try (before upgrading) and I’m seriously disappointed. For that kind of money I expected reliable parental controls that actually work, especially on iPhone. Instead I got incomplete monitoring, features that don’t function as advertised, and constant frustration. Key things I paid for either don’t work properly or require workarounds that shouldn’t be necessary.
The value is terrible. Apple’s built-in Screen Time already does a lot of this for free, and Qustodio’s extra features feel half-baked or unreliable once you’re locked into the expensive plan. I’m not holding out hope for a refund.
I would not recommend this app at this price. Parents looking for real peace of mind should look elsewhere.

One of the best parental control all that I have seen for years! Great job! Thank you!
Awful
Don’t try this!! I was recommended this app by my sister. It seemed great. It took me forever to set it up.- then the app controlled my daughter’s phone so badly she couldn’t even use her cycle app or music app- even after all the restrictions were lifted she couldn’t even access her App Store!!
Very Glitchy
It’s stupid, it locks my son out and then his Face ID doesn’t work, now he’s stuck with a phone that is just blocked even when I allow it.
