Review summary

Review consensus shows Blocksi Parent offers strong blocking controls, history review, and Chromebook/school integration, but users repeatedly report login/ stability problems, unreliable reports, inconsistent blocking and challenging UI for exceptions, plus notable privacy concerns and update-induced setting persistence issues.

Pros

High flexibility and features compared with other parental-control apps.
Ability to review and monitor the child’s search and site history.
Time limits and screen-time controls, including on Chromebooks.
Effective content blocking capabilities.
Designed to work in school/Chromebook environments for applying restrictions.

Cons

Frequent login/sign-in failures and general reliability issues with the app.
Reports feature unreliable or not showing the expected details.
Blocking can be overly aggressive or inconsistent, and some UI changes make it hard to manage (e.g., tabs switching, exceptions).
Recent updates cause settings like filters or schedules to not persist.
Privacy concerns about monitoring/blurring or camera access and potential privacy violations.

2023-11-06	mi*****	Well it's really good to block stuff, but when your need to change to make an exception I can never figure it how to do it. There is no clear way after it's swt up

2023-03-18	Ja*****	This app is so dumb that it changes all your tabs to blocksi tabs, and you can't change them back even when they are unblocked

2022-03-05	Da*****	I was frustrated that my kids used their school accounts to get around my YouTube restrictions so I was hopeful when the school told me about Blocksi where I would be able to add time limits and site restrictions on their school accounts. * Unfortunately the site blocking is spotty at best and the school IT guys just shrugged. * I really like being able to review their search and site history. * The time limits generally work so they can't sneak on to their computers in the middle of the night.
