While helpful, the program does allow for a more sophisticated child to work around certain settings. In particular, if you have screen time limits, your child can easily bypass these by changing the time on the phone - the app does not prevent the child from changing system settings, but instead let's you know and tells you that the limits you have put in place are no longer working. Same goes for any other critical setting. The app should block anything that isn't automatically updated.

The worst app ever. I really would like my money back. If you are expecting to set total time allowed across sll devices, forget it you can't. If you want to create one set of rules across all devices, you can't, you have to do it for each device and then each child. It's counter intuitive and offers nothing that parents want in terms if control. In fact McAfee look as though they have been infiltrated by kids who have taken control back. Shocking, absolutely shocking!

This app has potential, but until they work out the bugs it is useless. My kids ask for permission to use apps which I then grant for a limited time, but the app still won't let them into the app so I have to physically go to the app and add access which lags and is not always immediate. Then to top it off, when I set a limit for use of the app, the time goes over the timer and still grants them access, so I then have to go back into the app to restrict access again. I really wanted something automated because I tend to forget so if I forget then I need a backup. Another problem I have is there is no option (that I can find) to block access to tools/settings so my kids can go into the settings and turn the app off. Yes, it alerts me, but in the meantime they are living it up while the app is removed. It also would let me get pretty far into some apps before blocking access, for example play store. Let me know when all these issues have been resolved until then I guess I will go back to the Norton app or look elsewhere.

Temperamental at best. Installed on kids iPads. Set up all time limits and age limits etc. Age limits work fine but time limits regularly don't turn on at allocated time, or completely freeze leading to having to reinstall. Also be nice to be able to set an overall time limit. "Pause" works but then "unpause" doesn't. Faff to allow extra time outside of the schedules then, not surprisingly, it sticks. Had too many issues I've lost confidence in the app and looking for alternative.
