I do like some of the features, but the location jumps around so if you set home boundaries it constantly sends notifications that my son has left home zone then enters, very annoying. Had to remove the zone to stop this. When I started subscription the functions all said they were in beta mode telling me the functionality may or may not work properly, not very comforting when you spend money on something to be told it may not work properly. Screentime, screenshot, lockdown feature is nice .

Good concept but kept crashing. Put this app on both of my daughter's phones and for a few days it worked wonderfully. After that, the app would crash and it blocked whitelist apps but allowed the blacklist apps to work or it would totally stop working on the kids phone and I couldn't lock it. I had to re-download the app a couple times until I just gave up and canceled my subscription.

Edit: Tell me this: what are your free features if nothing is blocked?Went from 4 stars to 1. Like too many companies they switched to removing ALL helpful features unless you pay. Now their "lock" allows access to EVERYTHING unless you pay. I've tried the trial, paying, and non-payment and all of them had big problems. Now that the basic features are taken away I have no sense of it improving so I am going to switch to a different app that can show that they back up their product. Sorry guys.

The free plan allows controlling 1 device, set up 1 schedule and make 5 mode changes within a day. This means that if you apply Lock Down mode, all third-party apps should be locked. Please contact us via e-mail [email protected] and will do our best to help solve the issue you faced. This is very important for us.
