I love this app. I want to use it on My younger son's tablet as well. You can limit screen time, block apps, locate your child and/or phone if it gets lost or stolen! Recommend it 100%

Z70%
by Z####:

This does not have screen limits. In the pictures it says you can reward them with extra screen time but how is that when you can't limit their screen time to begin with only when they are allowed to use the phone.

So I was looking for an app to help monitor and ensure the safety of my lad now he has a phone and i always use McAfee with my tech. After reading the reviews and score for this app I was a little apprehensive but you get it free for the first 30 days so thought there was nothing to lose. So, having used it a couple of days I am really surprised by a lot of the other reviews. This is genuinely a really good tool and does what it says. The deal with my lad is never to turn his phone, data or location off otherwise he loses screen time. That way we can see where he is. Also a great bargaining chip for good/bad behaviour. Will happily pay the monthly fee.

This app has the potential to be one of the great parent control apps. It let's me know when my child downloads apps, it let's me know what websites she goes to, I can even block websites that I don't want her to go to and it works. But the only problem I have with this app is the scheduled screen time. My kid gets the red screen but she can still bypass it, by pressing the go back button on her tablet. The red screen will keep popping up, but all she got to do is hit the back button and it goes away again. If you can fix the time's up screen, where she can't make it go away. This is a five star app.

Now that i have it I can't take it off my phone or my child's! Very upsetting!

App has too many glitches! My daughter is currently blocked from her phone. It's giving error 1 (screen shots taken). I've disabled time limits as it wasn't doing what it should. Now it won't let me do ANYTHING!!! I've been getting error 1000500 on my device. Good theory but a long way to... *2018/08/01 update* App now is blocked when I set a time limit. I set 30 minutes and instead of allowing the time then blocking, it's saying app is blocked. I am getting the 1000500 error more frequently. I have a screenshot if anyone ever gets back to me on fixing these bugs...

This definitely works in blocking illicit and darker parts of the Internet. But the only problem is it stops blocking after some time. I have allowed all permissions and autostart feature but still it stops blocking websites after opening the app for the first time. It starts working again when I open the app again but sometimes that also fails to work. I guess it's some kind of bug. I am using redmi note 4 and lenovo tab 7. Apart from this I want the app to be a bit stricter when it comes to bypassing the security to access adult sites. (just deny the app permissions and all the surveillance and blocking goes down the hill)

Been stuck with annoying 3 pop ups stating I've got 3 requests for 6 months. New phone, new app and they still persist. Buggy app also, not ready for prime. Kids can also uninstall by removing administrator privileges in security setting then uninstall app.

by M####:

Well this app needs to get off the app store.Because this is a total space invade for children.This is not the correct way to teach your children to be safe on the internet.When you install the app the child wont trust you because you do not trust them.Therefore this app needs to be deleted off of app store.And plus even worse you have to pay to Invar your childs privacy.This is the worst app of its kind.

Its ok. But like to have it where you have to input the password to uninstall, seeing as my 12 year old was able to uninstall from her phone.

Why is your app automatically blocking google approved games? Ex. Animal crossing pocket camp

I am completely disappointed in McAfee and this app. My 9 year olds tablet did not automatically update the app after a recent change and subsequently all protection was lost. He was able to access any adult site for a two-week period before I realized there was a problem. The need to update the app should not allow the protective capabilities of the app to fail. This is a serious flaw and parents should be aware.

Getting persistent repeat notifications for requests that were answered already. There seems to be an issue on the McAfee server somehow, I've factory reset my phone, reinstalled the app and even created a new child profile and it won't go away.

They're is no way this hunk of junk is ready for prime time. Too many bugs and poor UI/ux decisions. It can't even vary screen on time for the weekend properly. Do not waste your time or money.

U70%
by U####:

It was good until they decided that we need to be charged for it. I think the app helps a lot of people including myself. But to pay a monthly charge to stay safe from unwanted sites that are polluting the internet is outrageous.

L70%
by L####:

Old notifications keep reappearing. Uninstalled apps remain on parents list. Newly installed apps do not appear on parents list. !? Definitely won't be subscribing $59.88 per year for 1 child.

My daughter uses her tablet to watch movies on an app we use all the time. It will not let her use the app unless she asks for permission. I can not grant her permission because this app throws an error ever single time I try. So I tried uninstalling this app on her tablet and my phone and deleting her from my account and it still will not let her use the movie app. The movie app is not a blocked app in her allowed apps.

This app should totally be free because it has so many bugs I keep getting notifications that happen from 3 months ago it doesn't do what it says one hundred percent not going to pay 4.99 a month for

App was great at first, my son's phone reset and now I can't get the app to open on his phone. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, restarting his phone, everything. Very frustrated

M70%
by M####:

If this app worked like it was supposed to, it would totally be worth $4.99 a month, but right now it has more bugs than any other app I've ever used. I've spent over an hour with customer service trying to get things to work right and it still doesn't work. The support team seems like they don't even know how the app works.

I like this app to help guide our teen in the right direction with his device but find it doesn't always work which is very frustrating. Sometimes I can't turn his apps back on. Will continue using it only if issues are remedied.

Cannot be trusted, sometimes screen time works, the rest does not. Do not trust this app to do anything!
