My Time by NETGEAR

This app takes takes away the little control children have over their own possessions. My dad installed this app on my phone and I am 15 years old. Apps like this are for parents that do not trust their children. I recommend that parents just teach their children safe internet practices instead of having access to everything they look at. Parents please just teach your kids to be responsible instead of sheltering them. I promise you it does not help.

This app is trash

The vpn never connects and interfers with everything. So I deleted the app of my kids iPads but then the parental controls stayed in the Apple>screen time>content & privacy restriction. In order to toggle that off you need a pin which apparently the app enabled and set. So without knowing this pin I’m screwed. Looks like I’m going to have to wipe the iPads and start over.

It doesn't give people much freedom to do really anything

As someone with kids...I do NOT recommend so I'll give you a rundown on why. - slows your internet down, I've been using this for a few years now but I've seen so many changes for the worst! - Tracks YOUR data, I've read up on this and found it sells your data which is horrible and an invasion of my privacy! - horrible software! The app is so slow and easy for kids to uninstall, it should at least notify you if that happens. Because of this (and more), I will be renewing my subscription thank you.

I wasn’t on my phone during the night but I had lost charge until 20%. I then lost 10% in a minute just being on the Home Screen. Imagine how fast it’ll go using an actual app.

I am the 17 year old teenager of a parent who has been using these broken parental controls. 1) This was incredibly easy to bypass, both the actual account to control devices, and on the receiving end, where I was just able to access the device program codes of my macbook and pc and change the MAC address so the controls no longer work. 2) The ‘filter adult content’ settings was coded by someone with the IQ of half a newborn. It restricted online calculators, quora statistics tutoring forums, comment sections underneath Khan Academy youtube videos, etc. For the parents, if you want kids to be able to get their homework done while still being able to control their device usage, you cant. Even the adult setting for mature content filtering says “filters most mature content” and by the awful coding standards.. “most mature content” seems to be randomly decided. Under the teen setting, I can watch the most disturbing NC-17 movies, but I cant access educational forums. The thing is, you cannot control time limits if you turn off the mature content filtering, so nothing works as it should. 3) IT BREAKS UR TECH. Each hardware component on my pc was registered under a different name within the devices section of the orbi app. On this app, some of those hardware components responsible for internet connection were restricted… this ended up literally breaking my pc. The fans stopped working as well as the hard drive. A burning smell came from my PC even after I shut it off. Now, all programs or browsers I open give me a “program not responding window”, with no fix I could find either by my own approaches into my computers settings and control panel, or by resources online. 4) My dad doesnt know I have control over these settings. He has literally zero way of knowing unless I tell him. You guys are wasting who knows how much money for this service to break your tech and promote a relationship of secrecy between you and your kids. Helicopter parenting only ever ends with you on your deathbed in a nursing home and your kid 12 state borders away living happily and enjoying their relationship with their children because the one thing you did right for them was give them an example of how not to parent.

After I deleted this app, my YouTube and TikTok aren’t loading properly and my other apps still have limited access to the Internet. Ladies and gentlemen, (and for teenagers), if you’re seeing this review, then DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT. It will constantly keep messing with your Internet even after you delete it.

This is junk!
