I am a high school student and have had multiple parental control apps on my phone. This app is designed for little kids or younger kids. With teenagers it just does not make sense to use this app. At night or when ever scheduled to turn off, it seems fine... but in the morning, all of the apps on your phone will be scattered even if they were in groups or the boxes on iPhones. Even with the app organizer you can’t keep them in your groups and it is so frustrating. If you are a parent and want to get an app for parental controls I recommend finding another one unless this is fixed.

If anyone is reading this, the app has made it so when I try to message someone it works but I can’t receive any messages when I turn the screen time off. My photos, videos, and apps stay on my device but the data doesn’t. It also doesnt have a reminder hat it will end soon which causes my device to randomly go black in the middle of something important. If u have this app and want to get rid of it, just use the screen time thing in settings. It can allow you to do the same thing and you won’t have all the troubles you did with he app. Hope that helps

take this off the app store

I don’t actually mind having a time limit all that much. I don’t have many friends so all I’d do is sit around all day staring at my phone. A few years ago though my mom put on the apple time limit they have in settings and it’s taught me self control and how to spend my time responsibly. However a few months ago my mom wanted to try out this. We hated it. We had it for probably like three hours before my mom decided to go back to the apple one. She said she wanted to give this a try because it would be easier to give us more time on different apps, but ended up not liking it. I personally didn’t like it because if you start your time but than turn off your phone the time won’t stop, making it so I lost time in my two hours I had per day. I didn’t even run out of time before we went back to apple. Sorry, I think a time limit app is smart, but this one just isn’t it. Apologizes for leaving a bad review, but I felt the need to share.

Ok so I’m not giving this a bad review because I’m a angry kid that is mad at their parents for trying to protect them by installing this onto their devices I’m giving this a bad review because of how bad the app UI is and how inconsistent and how unreliable it is. I’m 15 and I get the point of this app but it’s severely bugged literally which makes it super annoying to use like with the app sorter it randomly crashes when I go to sort my apps and if I try to do anything it bugs out so please fix the app :) Also can you guys please add support for iOS 14.3 so you can use the new widgets and stuff like that or just remove the app sorter and take out anything that has to do with moving apps around because if you turn the app sorter off and go to sort your apps through the way they are supposed to be sorted through apple not OurPact Jr because when you do that and lets say you have your apps sorted just like you want and then your phone gets locked and then later it gets unlocked the apps just reset to where they were before you sorted them so please fix it and just remove the app sorter function overall

I'm 14 and I haven't had this app for very long but my brother and I hate it with a passion. I'm an artsy kid who sticks to my friends for support because I have trust issues with my own parents. MY OWN PARENTS. You know the people you can trust with anything. Well this app has caused that to get worse. I just got a new phone and don't have it on here yet but I know it's coming soon. I can't stand it! Anytime I talk back or I get snappy (I'm just generally like that because I get annoyed very easily and I'm not always level-headed), my mom threatens to not only shut down my phone but take it. I'm to the age that I know better than to share personal information online with strangers. And if I don't go to my friends for support, I'll go to notes and write out my deep dark thoughts in fanfictions (very sad ones, never read them). My mom gives me no privacy and it only causes me to get sneakier with my phone, lie about my feelings and school, and over all wall myself up. The app has caused more pain than good, and if my mom thinks it's a good thing then she is WRONG. My dad told me it's because I don't get off my phone to sleep. WRONG AGAIN. I sleep a good 6-8 hours a day (school day and weekends, I wake up around 6:30 on weekdays and 8 on weekends) WHICH IS MUCH BETTER than last year. I'm not a very social person in general and I'm naturally shy until I get comfortable with you, and they think my phone is what's hurting me. Sometimes I want to yell at them for being blind. SO TAKE THIS APP DOWN.

I think it’s stupid that parents need this cause kids can feel guilty about stuff and parents can just take the phone away I hate that it reorganizes everything every month or so stupid

I’ve had to google something before and it has said that google is restricted. My parents haven’t restricted any websites for me and the app will just block the randomest things.

I am not just saying this because I am 13. I am writing this because of how it blocks.#1 It resets my homescreen. With the new iOS 14.0 update, you can make cool widgets and organize. I spent 30+ minutes customizing my Home Screen just for this “thing” to reset all my work. At least on an Android it just blocks you from opening apps and your home page remains untouched. #2 It blocks certain settings. This app also keeps you from changing certain settings. I can’t even turn on a mobile hotspot. (I have unlimited data so there is no other reason this should be happening.)

My parents say the same thing but it does just make us want our phone more and I’m not just a person who sits on screens all day I play football and soccer and am pretty athletic I feel this lowers our parents trust towards us I’m 12
