Review summary

Overall, users like the concept and some core features (app allowlisting, time limits, and a useful screenshot feature), but the app is plagued by reliability issues, frequent bugs, and hard setup. Reviewers report pairing difficulties, Windows PC connection pain, and Android-specific UI glitches. Critical features are missing (per-app time limits, parent-side usage insights), while pricing and trial billing cause frustration and trust problems. Some users find it effective when working, but many feel it’s no longer dependable, costly, and hackable by kids. Improvement needed in stability, feature completeness, and support.

Pros

Ability to manage screen time with allowlists (keep important apps accessible while restricting others).
Screen capture feature for monitoring.
Often seen as more effective than built-in screen time controls.
Lifesaver/valuable for parents when functioning properly.

Cons

Reliability issues: frequent bugs, lags, and the app often doesn't work.
Difficult setup/ pairing, especially initial device pairing and PC/Windows connection.
Missing critical features: cannot view total screen usage from parent device; cannot set per-app usage limits; limited scheduling increments; overall feature gaps.
Pricing and billing problems: unexpected charges, trial issues, and perceived poor value.
Security concerns: kids can bypass or hack the app to override controls.

2026-06-20	RE*****	This app did exactly what I needed it to do as my child was in middle school and at the beginning of high school. However, it did have delays sometimes, but overall, I would buy it again!

2026-06-20	Pa*****	I don't know why this app has so many bad reviews. I saw many saying they worked in IT and couldn't figure out the setup. Please find a new job. I had zero issues with the setup process. I paid for the plus version so the kids could use the app manager to organize their apps so they wouldn't be jumbled Everytime the apps were removed when time was up. the only suggestion I have is to be able to give time to a certain app instead of all the ones that aren't blocked.

2026-04-28	Da*****	Utterly deplorable app. As a Sys Admin in IT I found the setup alone very painful and unnecessarily difficult. Once finally installed the app iteslf is very cumbersome and difficult to us. Effectively useles. Waste of time and waste of money.

2026-03-14	No*****	i regretted soooo much downloading this app . I paid more than 60 dollars and could not go beyond the first step. pairing devices was a disaster and no one from the app developers or admin offered me direct help. All I got was useless videos and useless written instructions. I am veey disappointed that is that it's non refundable even if you dont recieve any service in return. beware before downloading it do not recommend at all

2026-02-12	Ja*****	this app is terrible, it malfunctions on child's device all the time, causing issues with other phone, location is off half the time, it showed me my child was 10 miles in the desert causing me to about have a heart attack thinking my child got abducted. this app doesn't really block anything, the child can go on airplane mode and use wifi to bypass most locks. app is completely trash.
