    Absolute trash. Keeps telling me setup needs to be completed even though it has been. Requires its VPN to be enabled on the child device but that just blocks ALL web traffic on the device. A bit too much control tbh.

    Location does not work. Several times I would click on location and it would tell me my son is home and his location was updated minutes ago, however these times my son was miles away from home. He us also able to search the internet after I have restricted times he could use his phone, and when I block the internet, he is still able to use it. I will not be renewing my subscription!

    There's a reason this app has such a low score. It is appalingly bad at what it's meant to do. I've had it for years now but it's never worked properly. I've spent countless hours with the customer service team trying to fix the many issues, without success. An app that's been broken for years but still doesn't work after thousands of people point it out, isn't worth your time or money. The recent "update" made things even worse. This app is an afterthought and absolutely useless.
