Kid figured out hot spot still works
So he can use the hot spot to connect his laptop to the internet. Somehow he disabled the location setting so you don’t know where the location of the phone is.
Not suitable for iOS
Works phenomenally well on my android phone, but terrible on my iPad. Hopefully they can fix the issues!
Not a Apple product
Doesn’t work for Apple don’t waste your time.
Use to be great
This app use to be great! I would have given 5 stars, then they start doing all these updates and now nothing is protected on my kids tablet. They can download and play whatever game. I have been in contact with them several times and the issue has not been resolved. Just keep giving me the run around “update, update update” well the updates don’t work. I’m Very disappointed. Need to find another security that will actually work now I guess.
Lousy
The features do not work/track on Apple so this is a pointless app.
Basic functionality turned into nonfunctional
The application portal stopped working a week ago and still hasn’t been fixed. As another user said, the SSL cert expired May 19th. Such a simple fix, get it renewed !!
Website expired
I’ve used this app for years and mostly been happy with it. But their SSL certificate is expired and I can’t get a response as to when it Eileen be working again. It’s got me very concerned. Is anyone else having a problem?
Kids hate it and they are doing low rating
This app has been great. Any issues or questions that I have are very quickly responded to. Have been using for 2 years and am very pleased. The very low price covers all year.
Parental Control
So, I agree, unfortunately, this doesn’t work with apple products, and the controls apple provides are less than stellar, but it’s fabulous with android!
