| 2024-07-30 |  | | I hate this app so much 😡😡😡 it disables my screen for 30 seconds. I just want to watch tik tok but now I can't😢. EVERYTHING IS BLOCKED 😭😭😭 Dont get this for your kids. It's basically giving them trauma. |
| 2024-05-21 |  | | Doesn't work!! Nothing shows up on my (parent)screen so I can't change anything at all or view. Blank screen. I reinstalled the app but it only worked for a day & now back to a blank screen |
| 2024-05-12 |  | | It's a scam because if u use like 1y the app gets lazy and can't block other apps and the loading screen u can't even call or message the phone gets paralyzed for 30sec and there is many bugs like if didn't do anything the app kicks u out other apps when u have time and when u want to connect to wifi and u need to put the pw the app kicks u from the setting bro I just wanna use wifi |
| 2023-05-04 |  | | I'm a parent to have the app on your phone to monitor you child you have to accept all functions. As a parent I don't need to monitor my own phone. I need access to monit my child's phone. You should be able to download and access the the app without giving it full access to you phone. For the child yes not for the parent. I have used it for several years now and it's great for the children. But I have to log on via web browser unless I want to give full access to my mobil device. |
| 2022-09-05 |  | | A great app with many options although with an outdated interface and no option for pc/mac There is something about the app that bothers me though, for a tech savvy kid it's possible to go into safe mode and uninstall or turn off some settings on one device but not on another for example One kid has a Samsung S10 with all the necessary option on for anti removal and it's not removable The other kid has a Alcatel 3 series (2020) and with every option but can go into safe mode to remove it or |
| 2022-01-15 |  | | Every time my child updates Google Chrome through the Play Store, this app automatically deactivates blocking settings for Google Chrome which defeats the purpose of installing this app on my child's phone in the first place. I could just block the Play Store so my child won't be able to update Google Chrome; however, he needs to update other apps of his phone and I don't want to update the apps on his phone manually, it's time consuming. Please fix this app. Thank you. |
| 2021-12-03 |  | | Has so much potential to be amazing but it's clumsy with lots of issues that seem to continually pop up. Newest drama is that I can't even get into the app on my phone. Just cycles infinitely. I have to get on my laptop to do anything now. I have a newer phone, Galaxy S9+ so it shouldn't be an issue. Always something it seems. |
| 2021-12-01 |  | | The app has suddenly taken over my phone. If I click on the app, Google Play store opens on loop. I am unable to use the app or click on the play store. It's useless to me and very frustrating as my daughter is locked out of features in her phone that I would like to give access to but now I cannot. |
| 2021-06-17 |  | | I'm a parent who has used this app for my son's phone with the annual paid subscription for over 5 years... until recently. The app is no longer effective since the security measures can be easily bypassed on newer model phones by a 13 year old. I refuse to continue paying for a service that is useless. |
| 2020-11-13 |  | | Great app. Worth $30/year. I am finally quitting it because I can't log in to temporally use apps that are usually blocked (like Play Store) without jumping through too many hoops. Used to be able to with the parent password. Everything else was great. When I had this it can be used to do what LookOut does in keeping track of phones. Enjoy. |
