User reviews

This app is a scam. It will steal your data and passwords.

I had to give one star because less is not an option. What utter garbage! What good is a monitoring app if it cannot be hidden? There is NO WAY to hide, rename, or otherwise make this stupid extension less obvious. Any parent knows that if you tell your kids you are watching, they will just learn to hide stuff better. Hopefully the device works better. I mean, if you are dealing with toddlers, this might be useful. Two thumbs down!
