I received this error message on multiple times of trying to sign in this is app. It doesn't work at all. Just reaching a redirect url. Failing to operate and allowing sign in to be blocked.

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.
