Save you money

DONT BUY IT. My 13 yrs old just deleted the profile in settings. It took him about 10 seconds to figue that out. No password required for that. Wanted to get refund and complain, no email provided!!!

Doesnt work and no support

We put this on our sons phone due to the apparent capabilities it offered like scheduling bed times, dinner time and homework times. The scheduling doesnt work at all. If you try to put a bedtime schedule on the same day as a homework schedule, it says you cant because of a conflict when there really isnt a conflict because they are at separate times. Theres nothing in the Help section about this. Theres no one to email, instant message, or call. The Kidsblox mode seems to work like Normal mode and vice versa. It was a waste of money and I would like my money back.

Perfect

Works exactly as it says. I have it setup on 6 of my kids devices. Now no more fighting about when "screen time" ends; it just does.

Not there yet

Our kids devices were constantly frozen and we were in a perpetual state of pending. My 9 year old then easily figured out how to delete the profile to get it off his system. Not ready for prime time.

Misleading features in the description

The features listed in the description area is not the same as the ones available in the app

Could me so much more!

I am very disappointed in this app! For the price I paid I was expecting the app to work flawlessly! This isnt the case! Takes forever to send the manual lock option to my kids devices. I want my money back! This a complete ripoff! This app should be removed from the app store!

Dont bother

Srsly. Even if you disable deleting apps in restrictions and have a passcode on the app itself your kid can just delete the control proxy from the settings like mine did. What. Is. The. Point.

Time mode for one day

There must be a mode for time using, f.ex : any 2 hours for one day Thank you

Please make a timer for more than 60 min!

Please make a timer for more than 60 minutes! and also add limits when the tablet should be blocked. for example with the morning and evening. Locked dont work!

Dont give up!!

I bought this app because I have 2 young children with IOS devices. I wanted to be sure that I could limit their time and content on these devices. When I 1st installed the app, i could not get it to do anything as promised. I contacted the app support and received great help. It took several emails to discover I was doing several things wrong and once those things were fixed, the APP WORKED AS PROMISED!! Worth every penny

FINALLY!!

With 3 children ages 12, 10 & 6, I have been desperate to find an app that would work in sync with iPhone restrictions as well as help with limiting screen-time. This app is it!

Mr

I am not happy with this app I want my money back. It cannot even lock your kids out of their phone thats what I thought it would do. They can get right back in.

Bad tutorial

There isnt enough info anywhere to make this work. Might be okay for LITTLE kids, but my son sat across from me while I "locked him out" and he logged back in. I need him to be able to use the reader but not play apps or be on line while doing homework. Couldnt do that - and now cant uninstall to free up space. Wow - frustrating evening!

Brilliant when it works ,torturous when it doesnt

This app is great when it works, but it is a total drag when it gets caught in "pending" limbo. The last time my daughters got stuck I had to remove it her device until this new update. Seems to be working fine right now, hopefully finally all good!

Best kids device mgmt software out there

Its profile based, so kids cant just force quit the app. The scheduling feature is incredibly powerful (e.g. iPads lock down 30 min before bedtime on school nights). You can control all the iPads from an app on your phone. The developers/support team are super helpful and quick to respond. No better app on the App Store for iPad mgmt.

Glitchy so I made it walk the plank

This is a good idea poorly executed. The timer works fine, no big challenge there using the devices clock function. But getting devices unlocked is like getting barnacles of a whales butt: impossible. The only way to do it was to remove the profile and then reinstall the profile only to have it happen again the next day. Not worth it! I will need a different app to lock down the scurvy dogs devices.

Garbage

GARBAGE!!!! Doesnt work and cost $6.99. Total waste of money!!!

Great device

I have been looking for a device where I can set time times, turn off tech time, and set safety limits around my childs tech interactions. This device is affordable and does all of this. Love it!

Almost there...

I would give this 5 stars if it allowed me to block apps by category rather than by age range. I would like my child to access to all educational apps and kindle, but limit access to game apps. As yet, this does not appear to be possible...
