Funamo Accountability

You have the download another browser to use internet. Downloading the browser is not a big problem, but once you download it, the problems arise. Every few min or so, the browser doesn't open some links! You just can't open it. Also, some of the websites blocked by this app aren't even sexual. Other than that, its an amazing app, I'll say its worth the money if you want to quit PMO. I'm satisfied with my purchase!

IMHO, this is the best overall content filtering app for men/women who want to be accountable about their smartphone use. For me, the most helpful features: web filtering, keyword filter, setting up custom time slots for app usage, and forced safe search. If you insist on having weekly email usage reports sent to a friend, this is not the right app for you (for that feature, check out "Mobile Web Guard" or "Accountable 2You" apps). For this app, if you have an accountability partner -- s/he will have to set aside time to log into the Funamo website to check your web history. Nonetheless, I think this is the most customizable of all the available content filtering apps for Android OS. If it is not working properly for you, that's because you don't have it configured correctly.

Funamo prevention settings of all kind are not working. Funamo Browser only setting is not working.

This is a great app for those with an accountability partner; someone you can trust to create a password so you cannot uninstall or disable the app. That would defeat the purpose. So the app is solid. It uses a device administrator and has the settings to prevent deactivating. Other apps claim to have that feature but I have found it easy to circumvent; not so with Funamo. On a side note- I hope this helps someone else cause I struggled with configuring it to block all browers. In easy setup you can select block all browsers, however, there is a yahoo app with a built in browser. That browser goes undetected by Funamo and does not filter any content. After I contacted support they said I could block the yahoo app or access to the play store. I didn't want to restrict myself from going to the play store (one of the reasons I bought the tablet to begin with) What worked for me, is setting up the proxy settings for all my wifi networks at home. This forces all web traffic to go thru funamo regardless of what app I use and it worked! I then blocked my access to settings so I couldn't change those proxy settings. You can find the steps to do this on their site.

Does not work on Samsung Galaxy s7 edge. Paid money and not getting what was paid for... Does not work with Android 6.0.1 version. You do need to fix it !!! Funamo support team doesnt bother to reply to emails at all. It seems that they happy to receive money for app which doesn't work. Be aware people!!! EDITED - word filtering and sites black list features not working.

No longer quarantining new apps

My now ex girlfriend put Funamo on my devices to spy on me. She has stolen photos, texts, altered texts and sent them to coworkers, family members and friends. Now that we've broken up over Funamo, she has full access to all my contacts, and is systematically going through it and sending texts about me that are slanderous and defaming . Even the sheriff's department would do nothing to stop her...I'm 52 years old, and she's destroying my reputation, and my career ! Funamo refuses to help !

Worked well until latest Android system update. Now it seems to not do anything. Can get into Settings without a password.

This app has taken over my phone and wont let me do a thing! Its infuriating. I tried to uninstall it and now it says it needs to be deactivated before uninstalling it but it wont let me install it to deactivate it first. Its a piece of junk and i will never get an app from these people again!

I bought this app and downloaded the safe browser. The funamo safe browser doesn't work when the wifi is turned off (it lets inappropriate sites through) and I've emailed them and they have slowly stopped replying to me to help solve this problem. I'm disappointed. Overall I think this app with the safe browser could be great but it does have problems which I cannot fix on my own and the support has stopped emailing me back.

Highly recommend. Funamo is a filter built for adults and it is flexible!

Useless app. AVOID AT ALL COSTS Did not block anything and Funamo browser wouldnt even start up. AND ITS A 2 DAY TRIAL Same thing with Funamo Parental app. Also Locked out the Tablet with an unknown password when Uninstall was selected and now requires the firmware of the device to be downloaded and installed from a micro Usb. This will wipe your device and all its contents and you cannot get your stuff off the device because of the password even if you connect it to a PC the password remains locked and so does your device

I have used other apps and this one by far works so much better. I has really helped me stay accountable and overcome my addiction.

Works well tho there are a few questions I have , figuring out gow to configure it correctly.

Great when it works. Sometimes updates cause buggyness, but an update or two later its fixed, so at least they are working on it. Could really use a mobile interface to the website where you setup restrictions, etc.

The last time I did an update I got locked out of my phone completely locked out even the password to log into it didn't work. I had to do a factory reset and lost a bunch of stuff. So I'm a little apprehensive about doing an this update.

Locked my phone, password wouldn't open it.

Highly recommend this app! It's great for keeping your teens in line & your little ones from accidentally going to the wrong sites!

This is a great app but the only problem i have with it is that the notification annoyingly sits on my notification bar and is just really in the way could you guys fix that with the next update please?

This app did not block anything. My manually blocked sites were accessible. I literally searched the word Porn and guess what came up?!?

This is certainly the best accountability app. I laugh when people simply use browser based filters. Plus, this is a one time fee ($20) per device rather than a subscription.

I love that I can continue to use the chrome browser and how customizable the application is. I don't see a way to customize web filtering by category, but so far the filter is working pretty accurately.

Constricts everything. Wastes battery life, and errors everything I try to uninstall it. This app is crap !

Does not block images anymore after keywords were added to the blacklist. Nor does it block in the Funamo browser either anymore.

Great app

This app works great in conjunction with the Funamo Browser. Most bugs/problems have been fixed, with the exception of the fact that it doesn't block apps that ARE browsers but aren't categorized as such, but at least it still records what apps you use; you just won't have the alternative browser's history. Other than that, it does everything exactly as it should and I've loved the peace of being accountable, and at a reasonable price.

Funamo prevention settings of all kind are not working. Funamo Browser only setting is not working.

I especially like the one-time payment, unlike the ongoing payments required by other apps.

Wish it had category blocking and search image filtering. Love it! Highly recommended.

I cant delete it

The app freaked out with the Android 5.0 lollipop update and blocks everythimg. I had to turn it off

This app is comprehensive with many safeguards.

One of the best filters out there.

How can I delete this app from my phone? It doesn't block anything unless I type in all the words or websites I want blocked. There's way too many "adult" sites to type them all in and this app doesn't block anything. Horrible app.
