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.

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.

Drains battery quickly and uses up most of my data. The location part of the app never functions properly, the location is always off of where people actually are. Should have an option for internet to be turned off, not service. I miss tons of texts as the 20 contacts aren't enough to fit everyone in, and the texts never come through, even when my service comes back on.
