Terrible. Useless. None of the features worked. For example, I blocked all social media, but he had full access to everything. I got daily update emails that said he had no activity - I know he did, because he had been using his phone as usual. The location tracker never worked. It's fine to have subscription tiers, but what's the point of a free trial if you don't get to try ANY of the functions. Don't bother. I just used iPhone parental controls to block specific apps and games for now.

There's a flaw in the blocking where a child can hit the back button over and over and if they're fast enough they can get into apps like phone and make calls to a contact. I suspected my child was doing it and was able to replicate this on my own. I needed something to actually block them from being on the phone all night and while I do have way better insight into their text conversations, I still have to remove the phone from their possession nightly, which is annoying.

I would love to see a way to monitor Snapchat and other social media apps. Also monitor any verbiage for bullying, sexting, or threats like the other competitors. Also when the phone is locked for the night only to have the emergency calls allow them to call only certain numbers (on a list) would be nice. Find a way to make sure they cannot bypass the lock to get to any apps!?!
