Best Parental Lock App I've Downloaded For My Kids
Easy access to edit as a parent and use as a child
The customer support service is excellent as well
Love this app for my kids never had any problems with it in 3 years
Great app to keep your kid from accidentally calling 911
Perfect for having 4 boys who like to play games on my phone
Perfect lock feature
All of a sudden it stopped letting my kids play any games
I used to like this app but now its buggy and messed up
Uninstalling this and installing Google's own kids app
This happened over and over on different occasions
Just go into app permission and uninstall from there
The app is freezing and not allowing any whitelisted apps to run
Locked me out of my own phone and now I cannot uninstall it
Very disappointed in the sudden change
Please update your app description as it is clearly incorrect
Which defeats the whole point of this app
