Kidslox UK Tracking Order Status

So ein Schrott, schlechter kann eine App nicht sein. Blockiert alle Funktionen von selbst. So ein Müll!!!! 💩 💩💩💩💩💩💩🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽

I bought the complete version of the app, spent 90$ dollars and have been using this app pretty much completely for a couple of years now. I've used it on 2 different iPhone models and 2 Android models. I installed all the advances features, and have used and tested extensively. I consider myself an advanced user of this product. If you are an iPhone user, be aware that the Telescope feature, which allows you to see what your kid is doing on the phone via taking screenshots every 5 minutes (and is basically the only real useful way to monitor childs activity on phone), doesn't work on iPhone. They say that it does, but it's a sham. Let me explain: on Android, you set Telescope up and it takes a snapshot of the phone every 5 minutes. You can then check later what your kid has done on the phone for that day. BUT, on iOs, you have to "request" for Telescope to be on, and your child has to "approve" your request. What do you think you teenage child does in 100% of cases? They do NOT "approve" your request for screenshots. Obviously! It's like if you ask them "can I see what you are secretly doing on your phone?" Of course they are going to say "I'm not doing anything!!" This completely defeats both the purpose and the safety of remote monitoring: that of having a record of your child's actions on the phone. Say for example, they are messaging with an adult who is grooming them, what if they are watching violent porn that you disapprove of, what if they are engaging in risky behaviours. In the moment you have to ask their "permission" to monitor them, they can easily block it, or change their behaviour. The whole idea of remote monitoring as a deterrent, is if they know that you are (potentially) watching them all the time, they are less likely to engage in behaviours which are dangerous. Obviously, kidslox says that "it's not their fault, Apple does not allow remote screenshots, security issues, yada yada yada. The reality is that this crucial function works great on Android and does not work at all on iOS. It's ridiculous to think that a parent has to ask a child to see his/her screen and that a child (or even more so a teenager) would concede that privilege. Which only lasts a while, because even 1 hour later, if the phone is off or on standby, the Telescope request would have to be activated again!! We all know how much conflict and issues this can bring. There needs to be an easy, stealthy, remote way for parents to monitor their child's or teen's phone activity, without involving or asking "permission" to the child.

Talked to Andrew inquiring about how to control what websites my daughter looks at on her desktop. Turns out Kidslox has a limited service for desktops and you cannot monitor anything. What? That's ridiculous. Had I know that, I wouldn't have paid all that money. I told Andrew how disappointed I was and he ignored me and never came back to the chat.

I an not sure why there are so many negative reviews, but on our end, the app works perfectly great. We have the premium subscription and use it to manage the iphones of our 2 children. Customer service is also great as they reply quickly if we encounter any issues.

Its a basic app to monitor your child's screen time. If you want to control how much access your child has to their phone then it's OK. I struggled to download the advanced settings and then read it messes up the phones so I gave up. I have a decent understanding with my daughter so she doesn't do anything I don't agree with or I take the phone away completely. It's not the best, more like a starter management app when they 1st get a phone to understand boundaries. If u want complete ctrl then this isn't the right app as the advanced version has so many glitches and the basic version is sometimes delayed and glitches too. Sometimes asks for you to reset your child's phone at a time the kid is not near you. Which isn't helpful. I just use to manage manage screen time, WhatsApp and Internet access.
