Having had the use of this app for over 1 yr the latest update has now completely screwed the app on my android HTC one. Even a clear uninstall and re-install fails to work - DO NOT USE

Z70%
by Z####:

The app constantly crashes.every time it does, it texts the parent. Last week alone cost £20 of credit, just on these alerts alone. The reset password link then takes hours to come through, by which time the reset password won't work. Avoid like the plague.

Just installed on my daughter's vodafone smart speed 6. Got the text through to my phone confirming that it had loaded and her phone was protected. Restarted her phone but discovered all the functions I'd blocked were still accessible! HELP!

I just wanted to block a call and text from a particular number, but this app just makes it super confusing and it keeps popping up every time I want to do something, asking the same thing over and over and it "adds" and "removes" phone numbers on its own and waits me to update the stupid thing I didn't ask for. Honestly I have no clue what its doing and why its doing. Stupid add. I really hope that at least it blocked the number I wanted.

Every time i open my cell and try do something it always ask for the same dam thing all the time. Pin and open please. I open and save. Then open my cell again and ask again and again again the same think. I didn't put a application on my cell for it to pop up every 10 seconds to put my pin in. This is bull. When u have a application and save that means save. Not when i want to open my cell again and again to pin in pin all over again. Fix that bull

I've just installed this on my daughter's phone, however the time restrictions are too crude to make them of any use. Quoting from Vodafone's literature: "If you want to set a time schedule for when your child can receive or make calls or receive texts, click on ‘Calls & Messages’ then ‘Active Hours’ and choose the time limits. This is useful for limiting how your child uses their mobile during school hours or after bedtime, for example" I sorry but it doesn't and you can't, you can only set one allow time and choose which days it is effective on. So there is no way of blocking school hours M-F and bedtimes M-S. The app needs at least 2 allow times per day and they need to be independently setable for each day.

I changed my contact ONCE and it kept popping up this freaking app , but for everyone ( kids with no freedom) i found a resolution! Just change your mobile's language and it will stop popping up , or just fully re-install your mobile , yes it will remove everything , but you atleast get rid off this darned app!

Dad installed this on my phone which is all good. BUT. stupid pages keep popping up saying ive changed the time or modified my contacts or the login page will pop up!! sometimes page after page! its seriusly annoying. sometimes i'd be playing temple run and cuz of your stupid pages i die and csn

Please first add a feature to disable alerts on changing passwords... The app does as it says and works but has many issues that would help make it less frustrating.. First: it often sends messages to the parent account for no reason, eg. "Guardian had been disabled" Second: it needs to ve less intrusive... It pops up too many times for every reason under the sun. Only if something restricted should the app pop up. Otherwise, app works well.

Wanted to block a number , and this was Vodafone only answer, use this app! It kills the phone, o2, meteor and emobile, can provide this service of blocking an number, absolute joke, I may have to change number after having it for 10 years, as per what Vodafone suggested in the end

U70%

The only reason my mum installed it was to get rid of scum bag callers which it does succed in doing, but as I lost and got signal, it keeps popping up saying "clock adjusted" and I dunno how to stop it from complaing when I set my phone to use providers values, and yes I do have the password to take a look in the settings but I cannot disable it. Vodafone, if your reading this please tell me how to stop that popping up message.

Unable to stop texts from Guardian informing me it has been updated to version 3.2.17. Had going on 30+ now. Approximately one every 30 seconds. Removed my number from the parental section but to no avail. No choice but to uninstall after completing this review. Shame as it is a great app but due to the alert issue (text-after-text-after-text...) I can give only 1 star.

The only thing is after you block a number they can still call you, your phone rings once then blocks the call making it look like you've hung up on them. It should block it before it even dials. Also caller ID shows up when blocked numbers dial your phone. It should just block it all together... Like a normal blocking system
