Funamo Parental Control for Android
Not reliable. Every few weeks or so the app will stop blocking all apps that it is set up to block. I check the settings and it will tell me it is still blocking the app as I have those apps open on the phone. Worked well until a few months ago when this problem started. If it was reliable I would give it 4 stars.
I upgraded one star because it looks like my issues with Bluetooth have been corrected for now. If this is, indeed corrected, I will give it 5 stars. The problem I was having was devices I was paired with would occasionally have difficulty connecting and I couldn't manually connect because the App would block it without entering user name and password.
Please fix for Marshmallow. This is the third android phone I have purchased Funamo for. Worked perfectly on the other two, now with my new phone with android 6.0 funamo keeps turning off on its own. I have tried to follow any suggestions for apps that may be causing it to crash, but still the same. Very disappointing
I don't give my kids access to Google play. I don't want them even browsing unsupervised. I haven't yet found any security breaches or any other problem yet. I'm just a new user of this app. It's possibly a bit complex for inexperienced or maybe the busy parents. Not that I'm not busy but I can make time more then some. I don't like fussing with the details but I prefer details to false security. Many apps like this tend to have a back door the kids can find. Not yet with this one.
Thanks for ruining my life Funamo Parent Control, hope you're proud of yourself. You did a great job! Only 30 minutes of video games a day! I mean like, who in their right mind would make such an EVIL app that destroys kids minds and makes their parents see every little thing they do! I swear, when you go to see your maker Funamo, he sending you far down into the Underworld. So do me a favor and delete this app from the store, and go REPENT! Good luck!
My parents blocked my freinds apps and it didnt even work! They blocked mine to but im not stupid...i just hacked the password with my PC
Works! I had issues, but developer helped. Best adult content filter I've found, on Android.
This app does everything that you can imagine. Customize it to suit your needs, whatever they may be. Really strong porn filter and the default app is well made, you will not miss chrome! Iv tried several different apps and this one is the best by a long shot, customizable, silent and strong protection!
It stops.working on some apps such as Pokémon go and that lets me into settings. It stops some websites that are clearly suitable for kids and that it recons some sites have rude content when I know they don't. Don't get it. It ruins your smartphone and messes up the system.
Never let me block anything unless I purchased the yearly subscription. Should not be in free apps. From upset parent and the app won't Uninstall or except that my last name has Two words.
I purchased a license long ago. Now it is saying that I need to purchase again....
This app doesn't actually work because you can actually get rid of it by typing about five lines of code.
Go to settings and delete so you can get it on boiii
DOESNT WORK OR DO WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO
So my mom unblocked a app but it keeps coming up with the blocked screen. Plz help...
I'm a kid but it's still a pretty efficient app and works properly. Parents never had an issue with it a couple of years ago so it's pretty good
I've use advance setting for make filter website. It worked on samsung default browser. But youtube passed the funamo advance apn setting on google chrome.
Love the fact that their Support team goes above and beyond to help their customers. It does exactly what I want it to do. :-)
It has to many bugs
Completely does not sit or in install.
Worst thing that ever hapend to me
whhyyyyyyyy this app sucks
does not work
Deleted app and still have to unlock phone everytime i use it
This app is great!
Sucks
I have been using this app for years but now the "Protect Safe Mode" doesn't work on my Galaxy S6, it now bypasses all the lock screen (even the phone) when it restarts.
It doesn't work properly, and its unistallation doesn't respond.
I'm telling you that this is a bunch of crap. This doesn't even work and it gives me viruses. Last time I checked it gave me eleven.
Lol...those angry kids though.
I don't have enough privacy. I can't even get Snap chat or Instagram because of all the filters.
Itz a gay fat piece of crap
Delete and reinstall the app you want to play on and it won't be checked and you can play it anytime
Actually my guardians have given me this app and excessively check everything. and I have to say it's really impressive and it's a great app to get for your children, but we all need to remember that we do... Sometimes need privacy, I just can't say I like to agree with the part where your parents can read all your messages, I can TOTALLY see why some children would need this, but some conversations are just regular kid-talk and that weird feeling that your parents see it, it's uncomfortable. :)
I had it on my son's old tablet but he broke it and I really don't want to spend another $20 to get it working on this one (using his login right now, I need to pay for it with my login but dunno how)
While this app works great to help monitor your kids' phones and set limits, I'm not happy with their licensing. Since the license is per device, everytime you upgrade or change devices, they require you to spend another $20 for a new license. There should be an easy way to transfer the license from the old device to new without having to spend another $20. Devices change all the time so this can add up fast.
My parents can see everything that I do! Can't I have a little privacy!?!
Its just who does this to children
Waste of space.Just to Annoy little kids.
