Kids App Qustodio

Hi I’ve had this app for about a year now and it’s honestly always annoyed me but these past like 3 months it’s been extremely annoying. My mom blocks apps on my phone and I’m okay with that I understand that but if she unblocks it, it messes up the whole app. For example whenever I try watching instagram reels eventually it just says “we’re sorry, but something went wrong please try again”. Like what do you mean something went wrong. Maybe it’s my phone but I literally can’t access instagram even when it’s unblocked by the app. Also, it has random glitches from time to time. For example my phone randomly can’t send messages or the apps act as if I have no wifi. Please fix this 😭

I might seem a bit dramatic but the amount of trauma this app has given me has caused me to realize that this is just a cash grab, I am not saying that the app is bad except that I am. Please I beg take this off the App Store for the rest of eternity.

GIVE US KIDS/TEENS PRIVACY FOR SIREN AND THE UM PRESHOW😍

I hate this app I just recently got this app and my phone goes a hundred times slower and I have to restart my phone every time I send a message I hate it and my mom put this on my phone for no reason no absolute reason hate this app and doesn’t do anything

the screen time that qustodio says is different than what my iphone says, so when i’ve been on youtube for 50 minutes of my 2 hour screen time, it locks me out instead of letting me get a full two hours in, also it hides youtube comments and most videos and there is no way to remove that without removing the youtube screen time completely

I’m 14 years old almost 15 and I think it’s useless to have this. First of all I pretty much know what’s out there, I’ve seen porn I’ve seen many things. It’s annoying because it’s like whenever my dad texts me it’s either because of screen time or going on my phone before I go to sleep. Another annoying thing about it is the vpn, every time it’s turned on I cannot access the internet at all, therefore I’m forced to turn it off. And speaking of turning it off, it’s so easy to bypass the security. If my dad didn’t constantly check the app, I would probably get away with it. I don’t know who had the idea of this app, but you could’ve done anything else. A game, video watching site, anything. It’s crazy because I have a job and I still get monitored as if I’m a little kid. When I become an adult and if I have kids, I’m not going to torture my kids like this.

For some reason I feel like it is a virus because it kicks you off of what ever you’re on also it doesn’t save your progress in that app. and it is also annoying because first it kicks you off the app, second when you are at the Home Screen it says “YOUR TIME IS UP COME BACK HER at whatever it tells you to”, third it is supper dumb because you literally can swipe up and put in the password to get back in.

I’ve had this app on my phones and iPad for over 4 years now. I understand that monitoring and having some restrictions on kids/ teens phones is a necessity these days even though almost all of my friends don’t have any kind of restrictions like this.. I’m 16 years old and will be 17 in the spring though my parents aren’t as strict with the way they use this app on me it’s become more of a punishment/ enforcement app for them. If any of my actions or behaviors they don’t like or agree with they’ll take their phone out right in front of me with a smug grin and with a push of a button my phone is useless basically a brick. Any back talk my phone gets locked down. One time at a family function my cousin was trying to talk to me and I didn’t hear him bc I was reading something and my dad caught me not paying attention and decided he’d pull a funny one and he locked down my phone with majority of my family watching this whole interaction. I was completely embarrassed and humiliated especially since some of my cousins are close to my age and don’t have any parental controls on their phones. It makes me feel like I’m younger than them or inferior. My phone also automatically locks during school hours, bedtime and homework time after school so I will focus better. I have ADHD and my parents say I need this app to help control my impulses and more importantly to help make me focus. They told me when I was starting high school that if I went back on my ADHD meds every day which I hate taking they’d lessen the blocks from Kidslox. I went back on all my strong meds and instead of loosening my restrictions they increased my settings. Now they say that I need both the Kidslox and my adhd meds together to better help me focus. I’ve tried deleting the mdm profile and it won’t go away. I’m feel like I’m literally trapped and my phone is fully under their control. I’m sick of being one of the only kids in my school with this app and it’s so embarrassing when my phones locked and I’m asked where are all my apps. As an older teen we need more privacy and this completely invades our privacy and any decision making me feel like a young child that’s not trusted.. If I can figure it out I’m deleting this stupid app and the profile it installed on my phone asap.

I can’t really do anything every time I like keeps on glitching and stuff like that it’s the worst app ever one star I really hate it this dumb app stupid app yes Ik but like every time I am with a call with my friends it always turns off yes I get it. It’s a protection but like it’s too overprotective like at least just take my phone away they already said no for not putting any restrictions so sorry for giving you a bad report but like it’s true🙃 but I do like it too because the block stuff that I’m supposed to watch and I don’t wanna get brain white and watch all those bad stuff. Don’t wanna talk like that and I don’t wanna be like that so actually I’m gonna keep this 3 1/2 ok thank you actually for this app🙂😃

As a parent who grew up with this app I do not recommend it. With this app I lost all of my sense of trust for my parents. I understand if you use this app because you kids already have bad history with internet freedom but if you’re doing it out of the blue then rethink your life decisions. This app ruined my childhood and demolished all of my respect for my parents. LET YOUR KIDS BE FREE!!!!! DONT MAKE THIS MISTAKE!!!!
