  • Do NOT GET THIS APP

    By Jazrayne2013!
    I got this app just to see how it would work but then I couldn’t get my kid’s phone to work and he couldn’t play anything and I tried my best to get it back but it kept saying that it’s blocked and I had the parent app luckily I got it fixed but just a warning do not get it

  • No longer functions after update

    The app stopped monitoring my son’s iPhone after the 18.1.1 update. Qustodio had me erase his phone and do a factory reset. It still doesn’t work. What a waste of time and money.

  • Not what it promises

    It seems to do something’s, like block web traffic. But you can’t block or set limits for some of the most popular games, like clash royal or clash of clans. You also can’t see text messages without plugging the kids phone into a laptop and syncing the phone. I might as well just look at the phone myself if I have to plug it in. Very disappointed, not easy to use. Only minimal controls.

  • Doesn’t work

    Ideally it’s perfect. But it can’t limit instagram usage and sometimes it doesn’t add up usage correctly. For instance my son has 45mins of Snap usage, but if you add up all the usage listed on Q it’s way over 45 but it never cut him off

  • 100% disappointing

    Update: This app works if you want to see what your kids are doing but there’s no control over texts or calls. Even when phone is disabled kids can call or text whomever they want at any time. Super frustrating. Premium customer service just reminds you they don’t offer those services. Get a Bark Phone. It was annoying and frustrating but at least it worked when you needed someone to be blocked. Old review: ______________ Half the time this app works well and is super informative and efficient for parental control The other half of the time it doesn't work at all 1) somehow permissions consistently deauthorize and Qustodio doesn't inform the parent app that this happens so you happily think you're in control while your child happily does whatever they want So when permissions are properly active it's great! 2) if they start a.call before bedtime enables they can continue said call past bedtime, even if the device is supposedly restricted (Bark Phone used to be like that but they finally fixed it) 3) you can't block texts except in bedtime mode and then there is no text at all (even to parents)... Even on the study only modes they can still text friends Oh and now I found they can text in bedtime mode if someone texts them they just can’t start a text but can reply 4) laptop use is spotty...also continually deauthorizes or I have to re download the Qustodio app regularly 5) text monitoring is sporadic, not all texts 6) not a clear way to add trusted contacts (at bedtime trusted contacts should be allowed) 7) here’s the kicker: even if you block a contact they can still call and text that person… Qustodio support even with premium is mostly just sympathetic with a standard " sorry we don't have that feature we'll recommend it to developers " I like Qustodio because it's more comprehensive than Bark but Bark PHONE is more reliable (in that it disables the phone when permissions deauthorize) this hit annoying after awhile so I haven't decided whether it's worse for nothing to work or everything to work (when you think it's in study or bedtime mode) Literally I think Qustodio is like “hey parents click buttons to think you’re in control but actually it’s all a fancy app based illusion” -your kid is still doing whatever they want with Qustodio on the phone

  • Messaging Windows software is broken

    First off message monitoring doesn’t work. Constantly ask my daughter to “trust this computer”. I know now this is an iPhone limitation, but Qustodio shouldn’t advertise what they can’t really do. Just spent this morning manually removing Qustodio from my computer used to monitor messages. Software has no minimize feature, so it pops up every time you open the pc, you can Alt-f4 to minimize it. Uninstalled didn’t work completely and left Java errors on boot. Had to manually go through the registry to clean it up. Unless you’re a parent who works in IT like myself, I wouldn’t bother.

  • Parents Listen to me

    I decided to try Qustodio based on positive reviews after finding Bark too difficult to keep synced with our iPhones. However, Qustodio turned out to be much less user-friendly when it came to setup, and several apps my child regularly used stopped functioning properly. I reached out to the support team multiple times. While they were responsive, their answers often indicated there was nothing they could do. For example, when I reported issues with an app my son frequently uses for school, they responded: “Unfortunately, at this time, there is a known issue with * where it struggles to maintain connection on some devices to their services when Qustodio’s VPN is enabled. While we are compatible with over 20,000 of the most popular apps used by children and teenagers, the architecture of some apps poses a problem that we are still investigating solutions for.” When I explained that the problems they were unable to fix were keeping our family from using our phones as needed and intended and requested a refund, they said: “Unfortunately, as this is not the result of an ongoing issue and the software has been in active use, and it is not within the first 30 days of the subscription period, I am unable to offer a refund at this time.” It seems that if I had canceled early instead of giving them a chance to address the problems, I could have received a refund. Lesson learned—$100 wasted. I would be willing to revise my review if Qustodio resolves the situation with a prorated refund.

  • Works randomly

    I installed it a couple months ago to control you tube access for my son and social media for my daughter. I paid for the premium package and it works randomly. My son still has access to you tube even though I restricted it and social media are accessible through their websites. Not sure what are other alternatives out there but this is definitely not working properly

  • Please fix

    App always says my son is active when he isn’t . I got mad, grounded him for not following the rules and took the phone. Even with it off and in my purse all day the app continues to say my son is actively on the phone and it has reached his time limit. He was grounded repeatedly for nothing. Can’t get in touch with the company to fix.
