Parental Control App - Kidslox App Reviews

This is the worst app of all time. Its worse than flappy bird. The developers can honestly jump off a bridge and land on rocks head First . Db.

This app needs improvement. The instructions in the app are very vague especially when experiencing challenges. The app got "stuck" in kidslox mode 2 times ...seems to be an issue if the device is not connected to the Internet and is turned off and the mode changes. Forgot to log out of the kidslox website and device got stuck in the locked mode. Also could not slide the "button" from one mode to the other mode. Not sure why... Also gets stuck in mode pending....Have spent ALOT of time either locking it or trying to unlock it.

The app is stuck in kidslox mode more often than not and either all apps are blocked or none. Paying $7.99 for an app these days, I expected much more from this app. The scheduling feature is also very problematic

Nothing is working, wow, what a waste of money. Plus youre allowing remote access to your device to a company not even honest enough to provide a functioning app. Dont do it!

Any options dosent work well, if you block and unblock your apps, kidslox remove your folder pattern and limitation on this app dosent include one by one app... Please dont lose your mouny

I hope this app will be improved and I sent my feedback to developers already. Keep up a good work. When I will be able to limit time and allow apps to stay during lock mode, will change to 5 starts :)

There arent many parental control apps. This one is the best. It hides all the apps on iPad screen so kids can not use any apps.

I bought this app thinking that I would be able to limit access to specific apps. This app is basically what you get when you use Apple Restrictions. It only lets you limit by app ages instead of being able to make a list of what apps you want or don’t want. Don’t waste your money. Use restrictions.

It doesnt work and even if I can get it to work it doesnt block the texting app that is the primary problem I was trying to control, a feature Im sure most people will expect when buying this app. There is no support either. I consider that apple and this app stole my $9

This app does what I need it to, but it does not work consistently. It gets hung up between the two modes and I am not able to switch easily. It is painful enough dealing with kids regarding their iPad/iPod time and to have this app not work makes it even worse.

Dont purchase this one, unless you want to pay the $6.99 for each device you want to monitor.

Dont waste your money with any other app. This is the ONLY one that is useful.

The scheduled down times dont work correctly. It locks down my iPad when it shouldnt. I cant find a way to delete the previously entered scheduled to try and reprogram the down times. Very difficult app to use. Ive emailed customer service for a refund. Hopefully they will respond!

There should be couple changes made: 1. Ability to enable single apps when Kidslox is enabled. For example I want Kidslox to engage at 6pm every day but allow my son to use his school apps for reading, math etc. 2. Time schedule should be simplified a little. I cant seem to find a way to enable restrictions from 10pm-8am. I have a 5 minute gap from 11:55-12am each night. 3. Add ability to hide more systems apps such as settings, photos etc. 4. Provide visual warning before iPad goes to Kidslox mode. One of the reviews is incorrect, you dont have to pay $6.99 per device. Just download it on the same Apple ID or setup family sharing. Overall great app just needs more options for control.

The platform is great and it is easy to use. The problem is I would like to choose which apps can be turned off and when. My son uses his iPad for homework and reading so if you could select the icons you want to be kept live that would be great. I would lower the price to $2.99 until you had a few more features to the app because its currently not priced right for the product. Again I like the app butter cant wait to see where you take it.

This is a great app for remotely locking the iPad at bedtime (with a specific timed schedule), which is the only thing I need it for. It is unbelievably difficult to find other apps with this function that dont cost a fortune (monthly subscription, etc). Blocking specific apps is, I admit, a little clunky... Still, a good app for my purposes, so five stars from me.

The app needs to download an MDM since the server of the vendor. Im not sure to trust in the source additional that you need to pay each managed device. May be the only good point of the app is that apparently doesnt have recurrent payments. My first impression is not good.

Love this app! My kid was spending way too much time on her devices and this app allows me to set times and shut off child apps immediately. Although I had to pay the app fee for the parent device and child device, she has iPhone and iPad so to control both devices I only had to pay one additional fee. Definitely recommend this app for parents to control time on devices and content.

This app does what you need i.e. Block your kids devices but it has a major flaw on version for iOS: cant block specific app. Either you block all apps or open all apps. It might be iOS issue but This is a major feature. Keep working , you are getting there

I was expecting to be disappointed by this app (like so many others) but it was quite the opposite. I dont have kids... Im using the app to lock out apps that distract me during the day when I should be being productive. This works great for that. I do wish that you could select specific apps to lock though.
