I hate this app

These controls make me wanna kms
Potato shellsPotato shells

absolutely horrible.

this app limits my freedom that almost every teenager should have, gives my parents false reports, draining my battery way quicker, and makes me want to be more sneaky about things because this app is real strict about things. it just really messes with how my phone acts. yes, i might be 14 but this app is genuinely horrible. it is trying to protect you i guess but doesn’t do a good job at anything.
