I like it very much, but it's not perfect. I wish the content blocker would allow me add a list of words to it that would block content on sites like Reddit and Twitter, or would at least allow me to block specific pages of such sites.

This app is awful. I told my parents about this and how my school used it to spy on me whenever I'm on my Chromebook and block my entertainment, and now they use it. If there was an option to rate it 0 stars, I would give it the hate it deserves in a heartbeat. This is by far one of the worst apps I've seen.
