### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-08-25, version 8.1.3*

Baffled as to why you can only cover Safari. Why not Google & Duck Duck?

### 1/5 — Not worth the price

*2026-08-24, version 8.1.3*

Could not be a worse app to pay for.

### 5/5 — Amazing tool

*2026-08-23, version 8.1.3*

This tool is helping me a lot , blocks everything

### 2/5 — Minimal coverage

*2026-08-23, version 8.1.3*

Covenant Eyes is a wonderful accountability app, but it only seems to work best when you have an android Samsung phone When using an iPhone it only covers a Safari browser which create a move in the back door to Look up other things they really need to fix this in the iPhone iOS version

### 1/5 — Your VPN problem has caused me issues nearly daily.

*2026-08-22, version 8.1.3*

I hope you guys can fix this issue. I have constantly turn off this VPN in order to get any cell phone service or Wi-Fi in my house. Crazy I'm paying $20 a month for you guys to destroy my cell phone service. As I'm writing this review I'm 45 minutes from home and can't use my GPS because of this VPN. I have to delete the app in order to turn off the VPN because I can't just switch off the VPN because your app is constantly Re-engaging the VPN. 

As soon as I turn off the VPN everything works again.

### 2/5 — My thoughts

*2026-08-22, version 8.1.3*

I haven’t really been using it much, but….

### 5/5 — This app is great.

*2026-08-21, version 8.1.3*

I like this app because it keeps me on straight an narrow path and that’s what I want to be on.

### 2/5 — Requires too much fiddling

*2026-08-19, version 8.1.3*

If it is not an issue with the VPN blinking in and out, then it is the constant annoyance of having to re-verify the Safari extension. Barring these regular disturbances, the app does what it should.

### 4/5 — Good for the Most Part

*2026-08-18, version 8.1.3*

I’ve used Covenant Eyes for a long time. Overall it’s good for keeping what shouldn’t be on the screen off of it. 

But recently, and this is true of my PC too, when I go to use my device, it won’t connect to the internet. Even when I turn the internet on and off, turns out there’s a glitch in CE that sometimes doesn’t let me connect (which is immediately fixed if I uninstall the app). Seems like if CE can’t connect or glitches, everything else shuts down which is really unacceptable. What good is the app if it prevents me from getting directions, weather, other online activities? Please fix.

### 1/5 — VPN Breaks Internet

*2026-08-17, version 8.1.2*

Safari becomes totally useless with the VPN on.
