  • As a parent, this app is awful

    I installed this to have a basic idea about what my child is doing when they use our computers. It is a maddening experience. Add a website domain like google.com to the whitelist, subsites like Google Doodles are still blocked. You have to unblock EVERY. SINGLE. PAGE. My kid was trying to look at bats and every single page would pop up a block. Then if you unblock the page, maybe it unblocks, maybe it doesn't! Or sometimes you have to completely quit out of Edge then reload to get the website to finally unblock! It is amazing how poorly they implemented this app. Particularly as a method of trying to capture new users interest. My kid does not like using MS devices because of this.

    It works well
  • Pretty good but could be better

    I wish there was a way to block and or only allow certain websites at certain times. Just like with apps. My kids are homeschooled so I’d like to block certain sites at certain times of the day, but at this point they can only be blocked completely. Other than that I like this service a lot. I have tried paid parental control platforms that are no better than this.
  • Frozen

    Every time I click my child’s name it freezes on screen. Can’t look at what he is on or update anything. It’s been like this for 2 weeks now. No updates available
  • Easy to use

    Overall an easy and useful app for keeping our kid’s laptop safe for her to use. One feature I’d like to see added would be the ability to apply time limits to specific websites (eg YouTube). As it is, I have to manually block and unblock it.
  • Looping failed transactions

    I can not make a purchase for my child, I can not add money for my child. I checked every reason why none match, it says to contact support and gives no number. To check each item you have to try and purchase again because there is no back button. Microsoft is allergic to money.
  • Aplicación completa!

    Parental time controls are not working again.
  • Terribly unreliable excuse of an app

    It is crazy how an app by one of the biggest tech companies continually fails to take payment. Trying to add money to a child’s Xbox account is one of the most ridiculous things ever. Bounces you from both apps and to web browser on iOS. Added a few dollars and went to add more after finally getting it to work and it just continually says error. This has happened before.
  • Giant piece of garbage

    About 30 seconds of development time was spent on this garbage app. It has issues all the time, particularly when allowing more time via app request. I approve and then the PC user gets no response. No logs via app. No insight. Just pure performative safety controls from a trillion dollar company. You can do WAY BETTER THAN THAT MICROSOFT!
