5 ★ My teenager used to play video games for the whole day. My shouting and punishments to make him grounded only harmed our relationship. My sister suggested this app and I thought to give it a try. Now after using it for two months, I have successfully reduced my teen's screen life. A very useful parental control app.
4 ★ A useful app with multiple features. However, I found it confusing and a bit slow in performance.
1 ★ I don't like the app cause on Samsung you have the option to block task manager. Another thing on the app is that my account got logged out even though the password was strong. The last thing is that I managed to trick it thinking that I have permission to use the app store. I don't like the app and it's like making a cake with TWO METAL BALLS.
1 ★ I was trialing the app, on my second day my teen has uninstalled the app, which I thought she couldn't do. She also said that the app was interfering with her other apps, and stopt them from working correctly. So now I have an app on my phone which is useless, and a smug teen 😡
5 ★ An excellent app to limit kids' technology addiction. My younger one use to stick to his device all day long but after using this screen time control app, his device usage reduced a lot.
4 ★ It is easy, accurate, and effective! But legs behind the competitors.
4 ★ I am so happy with all the screen time control features of this app. However, the frequent updates with the new app version are completely missing!
4 ★ A must-use Android app blocker. It helps block unsuitable apps. However, it lacks timely updates.
4 ★ The kiosk mode is perfect for my need! This parental control app is really awesome as it provided me some power on my kid's mobile phone. I can select useful and learning applications for her use now. She has limited access to my chosen apps. Kiosk Mode is the most powerful tool I found in the app. I highly recommend Bit Guardian!
5 ★ My elder sister recommended this parental control app for my daughter. My younger daughter used to play a lot but when she started watching cartoons on the device she gets used to it and stopped her childlike plays. But with this kids safety app now she is again playful and stopped watching toons all day long.
5 ★ Bit Guardian Parental Control is one of the most useful and easy child monitoring apps. I can monitor my kids' online activities even when I am working at the office.
4 ★ I am not so satisfied with the functionalities of the app. It works with traditional parental features and lacks a lot of new features that competitors offer for free. However, the App time limit is a priceless feature. I keep using the app only for this single feature.
4 ★ Brilliant kids safety app with exceptional safety features. However, this app lacks many latest monitoring tools such as text and call monitoring.
4 ★ I am quite happy with this GPS tracker app but at times it does not show the exact location details.
4 ★ This Android app blocker is so efficient that it allows only child-friendly content to my kids' device. However, text monitoring is missing.
