The most frustrating and ineffective app I have had the misfortune to use. Will not track location on my child's iPhone, does not allow for reasonable control over app access, often leads down menu paths that cannot be reversed out of, leaving the user with no choice but to force a close of the app. Poor design, limited functionality, online support has been lacking. I would not recommend this app in any way.

Very poorly built app. I tried everything to remove the control from a device, but no avail. The app says 'click on the edit icon and choose the trash can' to remove a device. The app doesn't have a trash can icon! No solution after going to site and all. Apps which are allowed ALWAYS get blocked randomly. So MS Teams or Zoom gets killed in the middle of an online class! Think hard before buying. I am thinking of asking for a refund as my premium subscription is still left for 200+ days.

It's awful. Even though I block my son from apps he's still able to access them.

Terrible app. Does not work for simple item like time screen rule where tablets often do not sync up with parent rules leading children to miss out class or permission not to be granted for a long while. And a week after contacting support on both Facebook and their online form, no feedback! Update 07/11: app does not work on all ipads either even though there is no limitations mentioned when you subscribe
