User Reviews

Users praise location tracking with customizable settings, the beeping locate feature, and easy remote control for managing a child’s device. However, reviews repeatedly flag stability and UX problems: frequent glitches and errors, difficult setup and poor help, trouble removing supervision, unreliable time limits/blocks, and sometimes inaccurate location data. Overall, the app is seen as useful for parental control but plagued by consistency and usability issues.

Pros

Location tracking with customizable settings
Beeping/ping feature to locate the device
Easy to use for managing devices
Remote control/monitoring of your child’s device

Cons

Frequent glitches and 'Something went wrong' errors / reliability issues
Difficult to set up and confusing UI with weak help resources
Hard to remove supervision / stop supervising, especially for older kids
Time limits / app blocking don’t always work (time extension failures)
Location data is often inaccurate or slow to update

I absolutely love this app. if my child doesn't want to listen he will loose his phone and I can shut off certain apps or all apps and lock his phone up. right now I have a limit from 8am -12pm and it locks automatically.
