I am a child who has this app on my phone, and it sucks. It blocks stuff just fine, which is what it is designed for, but most of the stuff the app can do you can do without it (time limit, data limit, etc.) The problem comes in when you try and unblock stuff. WiFi doesn't unpause, it'll restrict call and text sometimes even a few hours early, blocks random apps (like Amazon Music or once even my calculator app) without warning, and sometimes it just stops working, forcing you to reconnect it.

Found out recently that this app is blowing up my limited data usage without even being opened. Nice job, Verizon. Edit: I honestly can't stand this app. Now it's a permanent icon on my notifications bar, saying that it's updating data. I wouldn't care if this app didn't start kicking me to the home screen once I turn my phone on, even if an app was active while I turned it off. Fix these issues and kids wouldn't have so much of a problem with this parasite on their phone.

I'm a teen, I was able to stop the app from working with ease. Along with all the other complaints from kids here it's too easy to brute force the app. All I have to do is click on the icon athletic the top of my screen and try to click deactivate before the popup disappears. It takes a few trys but after that I can do whatever I want.
