    I got this app as a service for part of the Microsoft 365 subscription to monitor my children. It gives reliable and extensive information. I also use this to limit screen time. Consequently my son will ask for more screen time while he is playing Fortnite and I can grant the request before he is eliminated!
  • Buggy, unreliable, nothing works

    I’ve been trying to use this to control computer time and access for my kids, however, the time limits don’t seem to really work. My kids can use the computer well after time has expired. Locking the device also doesn’t work. I’ve locked the device and found it unlocked just a little while later. The app often crashes or shows false information and sometimes when you grant time or try to lock a computer it simply doesn’t work and you have to fully reboot the computer for it to be back in sync. Poor quality software really has become synonymous with the Microsoft brand.

    My child’s account has been unable to be changed for a month now. Fix this or make it editable on the website. This is stupid at this point.

    Perfecto para el control de uso de tiempo y noqueo de cualquier juego o app dentro de lo que necesites para tu hijo!
  • 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.
  • Good

    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.

    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
