Parental Control App - OurPact App Reviews

157 add

This is literally the most horrible app of all time no joke it makes me want to end my life and my mom spams it i hope they get taken off the app store because its ratings are so low. Terrible and whoever made it is a mistake to the planet.

Naturally I love the concept of being able to make choices that are safe and healthy for my kids. It is also very easy to navigate the app as it is very intuitive. I am disappointed with the airplane mode being a way to bypass restrictions. Especially for how much time it took to download this app on iPad/iPhone.

I run android, my kids all have iOs. The app worked perfectly!...for about an hour. My 15-year-old was able to defeat the program in short order. My 12-year-old has not yet been able to beat the app, but he's working on it. If you have younger kids, this program should work very well.

The airplane mode flaw does need to be fixed, or I will have to keep searching for a different parental control app. My son figured it out pretty early in an honest attempt to slow his battery usage during the night... it has become an issue of co tension in our house. I don’t see why they can’t use a timer type “limit” on the all access time to prevent kids from using airplane mode to prevent an actual limit to their free usage.

What is the issue with airplane mode? My kids are sending texts in school and using social media when the app is supposedly blocking them. The workaround information is readily available online.

I love OurPacts latest Premium release as of Sept 2017 except for one thing; my clever kid figured out how to bypass it within a few days. All she has to do is turn on airplane mode during a full access session and it stays that way until airplane mode is turned off. The cut off mechanism appears to be done on the server side, not the child's device. I hope they will fix this flaw.

Has this been fixed?

The app installed and paired successfully to my daughter's phone. It blocked everything perfectly when I tried it. However, by the very next day, my daughter figured out that she could prevent OurPact from blocking anything on her phone by keeping her phone in airplane mode. She continues to use apps to text, play games, & browse YouTube while the OurPact "Block" remains pending for hours. As long as airplane mode exists, this app has sadly become useless in the hands of my tech-savvy child.

Great

Amazing app and very easy to use

The simple and the best

Simple, efficient , self-explanatory , works perfectly and allows me to put the house in order by limiting my sons iPhone usage time , blocking to study , dinner, homework . Congratulations

Great

OurPact is a beautiful iniciative! It helps to educate our kids!!!

Doesnt work

The website that I should open on Childs iPhone takes forever to load.

Ruins your home screen

I tried it on my own iPhone to see if it works. The app wants full control over your phone (which is necessary but scary). When you as a parent say Stop, all icons of the apps disappear. That is a interesting concept as a default setting. It Should start off with you selecting which apps will be removed. Now. When you allow full access the apps reappear. BUT... The folders are gone and all apps are sorted alphabetically. Thats grrrrr. It took me an hour to put them into place again. No way this app is helpful. Sorry

Great app

This app has given us peace of mind. Theres no fighting at home. No stressed tired kids. They get their time on the net but theres no overload.

Love it!!!

Ive got the POWER Mwah ha ha ha!!!

Love it

Been using it since it came out. I only control it for when its dinner time and bedtime. My daughter respects me enough to not delete the app. She knows that its bedtime when its disabled. And I choose whether I want to allow or disable anytime as well as schedule.

Amazing

Finally what Ive been looking for. Works great love being able to have some control!!

LOVE this app.

As a mom of three who struggles regularly to get her children to comply with requests, this app allows me to control their devices without them even knowing. I just say "oh my! It must be broken. Ill fix it while you do..." :)

Drunk with power

The look on their faces was - priceless - now ... Theres motivation for homework !

Love

Love love love..... If ya wanna feel the love(but the love is not from the kiddies lol).... Download the app!!

Easy to remove

I can remove it in settings lol i tricked my parents

If you remove it they get an email notifying them. And even if they didn't, they would soon notice they could not control your device and that you intentionally disabled it and would take away your device completely, so lol yourself smug kid.
