Very excellent app. I can control my kids very very easily. Very smooth and streamlined process!! 10/10 would recommend to any parents with difficult children!!
Was approached by a young girl at to sign up for the app.. and was forced to submit a 5 star review on the spot (I suppose to boost the rating of this app and help the girl hit her "sales target").. Take note, they will tell you that they will send you a $10 NTUC voucher via email which i think is another way to collect your personal data and probably a lie as well.. Used the app, the child mode stops the phone from functioning normally every 3s.. Deleting the app.
The app is easy to use and definitely child friendly. Finally my child can cut down the usage of technology!
A good app to control your child's usage of mobile gagets and ensure that their eye sight Is well taken care in early stages.
It's nice to keep track of my child however The feature that helps to maintain safe eye distance and posture is quite irritating not only to my child and even I as it freezes the screen. The well done notification as well. Sometimes even when there is a safe distance the reminder still gets triggered very often.
Very useful to monitor my childs phone usage, app friendly to use as it is easy to navigate.
I used this app to monitor my two children sonce they have tablets. Interesting mini games and point system. But it crash and free occasionally
Good app for any parents who are single because it functions really well for children. It give parents a sense of security that they're children isn't spending too much time on the Internet.
Excellent app. Helps to monitor your child phone usage. I use this to earn points while also make sure my girls don't use their phone too much
Rewards are good. Though I notice battery drain is quite much, but understandable.
Im able to track my child screentime and whereabout. Very user friendly and easy to use. Down side is it drains my battery very often.

Easy to use and is very helpful. Point system is attractive as well.
App is okay but then it keeps freezing and I have to refresh the app.

I like the app. Its easy and there are aot of rewards
This app was recommended to me by someone, I've tested it out, and it's proven to be effective to me personally. I love the layout of the app — not too hard to see, not too complicated to use either. I'll bring this up as a suggestion for most guardians and caretakers so that children can limit their screentime. Thank you so much! :)
Good app. I have two children in primary school and so it's difficult to track them. This app makes it alot easier for me.
Good app. It helps me to check what my child is doing and also make sure their eye health is good
Child mode is unwieldy, during attempts to disable it at parental screen, the posture/distance feature popups keeps disrupting the procedure, making it difficult to access the phone. There was no way to acknowledge the popup locks others than to follow its command and wait. This was a bad experience as I needed full control of the phone, and it didn't help that my child was fussing at the time. At parental control screens (even just for password input) phone control shouldn't be disruptive.
