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.

Found out recently that this app is blowing up my limited data usage without even being opened. Nice job, Verizon. Edit: I honestly can't stand this app. Now it's a permanent icon on my notifications bar, saying that it's updating data. I wouldn't care if this app didn't start kicking me to the home screen once I turn my phone on, even if an app was active while I turned it off. Fix these issues and kids wouldn't have so much of a problem with this parasite on their phone.

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.
