Glitchy

I can’t even get into my kids phone. It locked it down and it’s outside the down time. I have shut off all restrictions and the phone is still totally locked down.

Needs more options

It is on the right track and I definitely don’t regret the purchase

For iPhone:

✅ It allows you to turn off the browser
or you can disable browser and all apps.(the phone functions like an old school house phone).
It allows you to set schedule and time limits. It allows you to turn off the internet at any moment.

🚫It does not allow you to make exceptions for certain apps.
For example: I want Internet and apps, disabled except audible.

Could be brilliant but so buggy

The amount of times it fails to add restrictions or extra time with errors is infuriating

Not good

It will not show you details of calls and texts on iPhone unless you have a Mac computer and sign up for premium complete. It doesn’t tell you this until after you’ve signed up and it tells you that it is possible with a windows pc until you sign up. This is the whole reason I signed up for this app, and now I’m stuck with this for a year.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE

I am BEGGING you not to install this on your kids devices. $150 a year down the drain for a clunky app that doesn’t even work. I installed this on my child’s phone to try to limit their screen time and this think did NOT WORK. It’s clunky, hard to use and frankly isn’t worth it if it was free! one more time just to make it clear THIS APP IS TERRIBLE!

No support

I cannot sync my child’s text and call history. And the block doesn’t really block. My child still text and calls. So I have to take my child’s phone completely to block the phone time. Not useful at all.

Horrible

Have had too many issues with this app not working. Support never gets back to help

Buyer beware. I does not work and you will not get your money back.

This does not do the simple task needed blocking apps. Restricting use after a time limit. While blocking ability to use Find My tracking and location. On top of that they do not stand by their money back promise. Qstudio will take way more money than they are worth for substandard service and keep every penny. Thieves!!!

Not a good protection

Always updating the app which needs reset in Child’s phone. Also it has no protection on IPhone. It can be easily bypassed.

Does block and monitor

Overall this is an app the does what it says it will do. It has been great for managing safety and blocking my kids from accessing inappropriate things as well as managing access during class times as we do homeschool. The only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is the app to control things from your phone is terribly glitchy. It needs major updating/bug fixing. It constantly freezes. You can only do 1 command before having to close out completely and start again. It can be very frustrating when try To manage multiple kids and real time access to class link etc.

Very limited

This app is VERY limited on what it monitors, at least on iPhone. Many of these new emerging Ai companion apps are not detected by this app. Correct apps don’t monitor. For example they will be on Facebook messages and it will show up as Facebook. Previously facebook messages would show. Based on our tests a lot of the times the apps won’t show up at all, Snapchat etc.

Overall not happy. A huge update is needed to keep up with current trends.

Too much to keep phone secure

I started using this app to keep my daughter’s phone usage and restrictions more accurate than the Apple family screen time. She’s able to delete the app or somehow work around the restrictions. This is with the paid premium subscription. Disappointing.

Does not provide sufficient control of Chromebook app installations

Feature that allows for time control of applications applies only to browser accessed games and apps. It doesn’t apply to locally installed programs. This limitation was entirely unclear at time of purchase. Misleading.

HORRÍVEL

Tirou toda mnh privacidade, e acabou total a mnh relação com a minha mãe por conta dessa merd, prr nem privacidade eu tenho mais nessa bct

The

Rlly bad

Grateful

Qustodio has been a blessing for my family. We homeschool and I have Qustodio uploaded to all laptops. It allows me to know how long they stream school. The amount of time they’re on allowed sites. It also allows me to protect them from inappropriate sites. I’m grateful and I have had no issues at all.

Unreliable

It doesn’t always take me to the actual YouTube video my daughter has been watching.

Internet connection

I don’t like that I can’t connect the device to my own internet once connected to this application. I like my internet controls easier than this app but this is nice when not on the internet.

Very unhappy

We had another parental control app on my son’s phone and iPad for years, but it was starting to glitch so I did some research and found Qustodio. In the last month since we paid for the premium plan, my son has been able to easily find the app and delete it. That was not possible on the other apps. I’ve tried to contact the customer service and even when I log into the main site, to contact them through keep in touch it says I have an invalid password, even though it shows my name in the top right. Really not happy with this app at all right now, since it can’t be hidden like other pc apps we used. 😡
