Review

Easy setup, except had trouble connecting to WiFi, however issue was quickly resolved and works exceptionally.

Review

doesn’t work for my school, deactivated and is very un reliable but i like the idea

I don’t like it

This app looks like it’s made by ai. All descriptions and titles look… strange. There’s many apps that do the things your app does better and easier. Even the default parental controls on most phones can do the same things.

Doesn't work

It was very difficult to figure it out, only to have my child immediately figure out how to disable it.

Worst app

This not it gang

This app stinks

app blows

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you feel that way—we’re aiming for ‘app grows,’ not ‘app blows.’ 😊 If you’re open to sharing what went wrong, our team would love the chance to make it right.

Response from developer

Thanks for the comment! It sounds like you may have enjoyed the app, though we noticed the one-star rating. If that was unintentional, we’d greatly appreciate an updated rating. Either way, we’re glad you’re trying TRUCE Family and we’re always here if you have questions. — TRUCE Family Team

Great app

Finally I don’t have to worry about running up to the school every other day to pick up a phone! Saves me time and headache. Makes my kids focus on school. Win, win. I needed a little help with setup but once it’s done, it’s done! Now I can sit back and relax and don’t have to speak to the disciplinarian at school multiple times a week. Love this app! It shuts off my teens’ apps and notifications while they’re driving, which gives me huge peace of mind (and yes, I turned it on for myself too—gotta practice what I preach!). I can set phone-free times at home for family dinners or bedtime, and it even helps them follow school no-phone rules during the day. Best part? The school never sees their personal info or location. Total win for our family.

This app made me turned on

I opened this app and was just nuked with hot chicks, this was really a surprise to me but I went along and did their requests, Overall best 30 seconds ever and very enjoyable.

I HATE THIS APP

This stupid app won’t let me view my child’s location and communicate with her, while she is at school. As a parent this makes me feel extremely scared, and makes me feel at a loss of control of my daughter. Especially because of all the break ins and shootings that have been happening at schools around my area. This App is also an invasion of privacy. Not only for my daughter, but also for me, whoever is controlling this App at my daughter school is allowed to see her and my location at all times. I get not being allowed phones at school because it’s a distraction, so if you don’t want phones at school, make them put them in a cubby, don’t take away all of their freedom and personal information.This App is heinous and horrible. And should be banned!

Response from developer

We’re sorry for the misunderstanding—TRUCE Family is a parental-control app built to keep families connected and kids focused at home and at school. If you participate in a school program, the school has no access to your or your child’s location, messages, or personal data. They can only see which students are participating to help reduce classroom distractions and support healthy device habits. TRUCE keeps families connected with private, parent-controlled location sharing (when permissions are enabled), secure family messaging, and safer device use at home, on the road, and during school. Unlike phone bans or storage pouches, your child keeps their phone for emergencies—so you can always reach each other and they can contact 911 if needed. We take privacy and safety seriously, giving parents better control and peace of mind while helping students stay focused. If you’d like more details or help reviewing your setup, please reach out via our website or in-app support. — TRUCE Family Team
