First and foremost, this app doesn't appear to be actively maintained. That in and of itself should be reason not to use it. But for more details, read on. I downloaded the app to block my 10 year old daughter from using her school computer to do non-school related things. She'd been using Google Chrome to get around the admin blocking her from playing games on said computer. And she'd even branched out. She was spending her entire day on YouTube, free browser games, looking at toys online, etc. This app was supposed to be able to let me blacklist/whitelist websites which is exactly what I wanted. Accept the feature isn't even complete. I could find no way to manage or even add sites to any such list (either via the web app or the Android app). There's a tab that'll supposedly let you add a blacklisted site, but when you click on it, it only offers you a yes or no checkbox and no place to type in a URL. It looks like a project some college student started and never finished.

Can only use from an android device for monitoring, no website controls available from the parents computer, and the extension may be free, but the "app" to control the extension is not. Total rip off, I do not like going through so many hoops just to use a stupid app. DO NOT DOWNLOAD, NOT WORTH IT
