Review summary

SmartDaddy Parental Control app is praised for its screen time management, screen capture, and location tracking features, facilitating effective child monitoring. Multiple caregivers can monitor simultaneously, and customer support is responsive. However, several users experienced glitches after upgrading to premium, such as failures in tracking and app blocking, as well as app update issues and trouble with permissions. Concerns over subscription cost value and app concealment on children's devices were also common themes. Overall, the app fulfills its parental control purpose but needs improvements in reliability and functionality post-subscription.

Pros

Effective screen time control features, such as instant pause and daily limits.
Useful screen capture monitoring that helps parents observe device activity.
Reliable location tracking to monitor child’s whereabouts.
Multi-platform access allowing simultaneous monitoring by multiple adults.
Good customer support with quick query responses noted by some users.

Cons

Functional glitches after premium subscription activation, including tracking and blocking failures.
Issues with app not updating or troubleshoot options not working.
Subscription charges that do not correspond to the provided service quality.
Difficulty in keeping the app stealthy or concealed on child's device.
Some users reported problems with device permissions setup causing confusion.

2024-10-04	Lu*****	I'm giving it 2 stars because the entire idea makes it the PERFECT parental control app. But the developers could not execute the idea to make anythin functional on droid. I love the idea of giving Screen time in exchange for chores. I loved the idea to be able to block apps, screen shot at random, intercept messages where they were cussing, see exact location, stop screen time and start it... etc. Lol, but I went from the kid's phone and uninstalled it with ease. Paid $. Didnt work at all.

2023-07-26	An*****	The last 2 days it's been glitchy. It was working great but today I cancelled because this morning it said that full limit of time usage was up. But we did not even yet use the device. Then when I increased the daily limit on my son's device it was still saying full time usage up. So I had to cancel subscription. Please fix this issue before I resubscribe. I unbscribed..and the money was still deducted! This just happened. Please help.
