Vigilant will constantly be running in the background on your phone to “watch your back” and keep you on track! The app works by monitoring what is on your screen and blocking what you don’t want to see. Absolutely fantastic design! **Developer response:** Thank you for your response! We hope you will let us know if there are any improvements we can make by emailing support@vigilantproject.com. ### 5/5 — Peace of mind *2026-05-25* The technology behind this app is incredible to me. I was so afraid to get my kids their own phones because I am worried about their exposure to sexual content especially. This app helps me feel better knowing I will be notified if inappropriate content is being viewed. My kids are aware that their devices are being monitored so hopefully it will deter them from looking at things on purpose. I love the different settings and capabilities and that it can be shared with the family. **Developer response:** Thank you for your response! We hope you will let us know if there are any improvements we can make by emailing support@vigilantproject.com. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend *2026-05-25* This app has allowed me to be more present with my life and not get distracted by unnecessary distractions. I would highly recommend to anybody who needs some help. ### 5/5 — Much needed in today’s digital world *2026-05-25* With all the filth out there on the internet, and how easy it is to be exposed to, I’m glad there’s an app to help keep yourself in check! ### 5/5 — Content protection and accountability features are game changers *2026-05-25* I was looking for something that not only provides protection from harmful content but also provides app locks and accountability settings when extra help is needed to avoid potentially harmful situations. App setup walked me through the different settings and protection options. I feel confident that my family and I will be better protected from harmful content on our mobile devices, and that the extra accountability will help us make better choices in content consumption. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-24* This app is great and can be useful for so many people! It works very well and is very easy to use and set up. ### 5/5 — Must have for parents *2026-05-23* I remember what it was like growing up with iPhones becoming big and now with every kid having one and access to everything this app is a must have for parents to monitor kids access! ### 5/5 — Amazing app to monitor porn on socials *2026-05-06* This app works! This is the first app I’ve found to monitor apps like social media for content I wouldn’t want my kids viewing rather than just in a browser. Love how it can also be set to block the app when sensitive content is detected. I use it for my kids and husband, but it can be used for individuals as well from what I have seen. It is inevitable that things will pop up on my kids feed, but with this running in the background they know to keep scrolling or else I’ll get a notification. I understand that the ai isn’t perfect so it’s nice to have the flagged blurred screenshot to see what was flagged as well as what they did after the flagged image was shown. There are some super cool tools as well to help people break their bad habit as well as prevent bad habits from developing. There are a couple things to fix, but overall definitely recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great monitoring app! *2026-05-06* I love that I can monitor my kids' social media and internet access and app installation. Great resource for parents trying to help kids. I also love that my kids can monitor themselves and track their progress. I've given different suggestions to the app creator and he made quick updates. I've given presentations at schools and churches and will be sharing this as a technology resource for kids and parents. Thanks! **Developer response:** Thank you for your support. We hope we can continue to help make a difference in your loved ones lives. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App that doesn’t work! Do not download! *2026-07-01* Every time I try and log in. It say can’t connect to server. I try restoring purchases the app says I don’t have an account. I try restoring purchase through iCloud. Doesn’t work. Even though I have an active subscription and charge. Save your time and don’t use this app!!!!! **Developer response:** We’re sorry you are experiencing technical issues. Please reach out to support@vigilantproject.com and we can help you get this taken care of. ### 5/5 — Cool that it works in instagram *2026-07-18* Love that it works in any app. You have to manually start a monitoring session to unlock the apps which will then be monitored, but I suppose that’s required by Apple to prevent spyware. Accuracy is 4/5 but the rest of the app is great. Lots of helpful features for individuals and families **Developer response:** Thank you for your support. We are constantly working on improving the app. Please reach out to support@vigilantproject.com for any issues you have. ### 5/5 — Mitch is daddy *2026-07-14* Mitch is a great person who actually wants to solve a problem and this is a first of its kind. ### 5/5 — Reliable Screen Protection for Family *2026-06-19* This app is great for my family. It helps to monitor and report screen activity that may lead to negative experiences and problems down the road. I love that it is very preventative and blocks certain screens and alerts me when those screens were opened. Whether you are using this app to help with your personal habits you want to break or you want extra help with your children, this app is very efficient. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-05-31* This is an awesome tool to keep you and your family safe from unwanted explicit content. It seems to try and sneak in everywhere these days. ### 5/5 — Insanely useful *2026-05-26* This is the easiest way to kill a bad habit that most people in the world have gotten sucked into. Cheap, easy to use, and will change you and your families lives for the better **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, we are happy to hear it is helping you! Reach out if you have any concerns at support@vigilantsupport.com ### 5/5 — Fantastic Resource for couples *2026-05-25* Brilliant idea, easy to navigate, and a great tool. We haven’t used it for very long yet, but I’d really love to see it gain traction and become widely used. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We hope this will continue to help you improve screen habits! ### 5/5 — Love the app!! *2026-05-25* Very clear about how it works and is an awesome way of monitoring things when needed! ### 5/5 — Great App!! Signup Questions could be broader for Accountability Partners *2026-05-25* So far very impressed with the ease of setup! I only had a couple places where the questions weren’t relevant to me but I had to choose one to continue. As I was setting up my account as an accountability partner, I was thinking…I hope this blocks Ads I don’t want to see on my favorite apps like Pinterest!! They aren’t “tempting” to me, but it’s very annoying to have random ads pop up completely unrelated to any search I’ve done!! Example, if I click on a sports bra advertisement…literally a sports bra…then for weeks there’s quite a bit of random ads for nude art, lingerie, raunchy story type videos…it’s soooo annoying! So, I hope this can help with that for me!! It would be nice if there was an option to set up that level of filters specifically. Also, I wish there were a bit more explanations of some of the set up items. Such as, “temptation times” I don’t know that info?? So maybe teach me how to ask? I’ll be monitoring adult children and it feels awkward to ask them. Perhaps they could set their account up first, and then that info would automatically show in my account as the partner??? I’m excited to use this App as it comes highly recommended! This review is based on my setup experience only. I’ll review again when I’m more experienced with it. **Developer response:** Hi thank you for your feedback! We will work on those things. Unfortunately there is no way for us to block individual ads, only the app itself. This app is targeted to help individuals overcome bad viewing habits or prevent bad viewing habits in younger people. ### 5/5 — Its about time *2026-05-25* An app like this is long overdue. Very nicely done. Extremely helpful for my family. Very grateful to the developer! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Peace of Mind *2026-05-25* Our son just got his first phone and not being able to know what he’s viewing was a huge concern. This app gives us huge peace of mind and we’re so thankful to have a way to help keep him safe. **Developer response:** Thank you for your response!
