The filter is the strictest I’ve used. It certainly does weed everything harmful out, and it’s not restricted to a single browser, but works across all apps on all your devices. In theory. In reality, it will completely shut down the internet on your iPhone about once a year. It will keep numerous websites from working correctly on all your Apple devices, making it impossible to buy airline tickets, take online classes, or any number of useful things you need the internet to do. If it’s not making your internet useless enough that it have to regularly turn off the filter, it’s not filtering in the first place. For a good couple months it was doing absolutely nothing on my MacBook, and to this day there are iPhone apps with completely unfiltered browsers. The help desk is polite, but slow, and sometimes even unresponsive. I get the impression that they really are working hard to get this thing working, but after a year, it’s pretty clear that as soon as they fix one problem they’ve caused another. This app may still be useful for small children who don’t really need to be on the internet anyways, when the filter is working. But for anyone who actually needs to use the internet, I’m thinking high school and above, this app may end up causing more problems than it solves.I already gave this app a second chance when they said all issues had been fixed. It worked for a couple months and then new issues started popping up. And when they fixed those the old issues came back. I’ve spent a lot of time over the past year trying to get Mobicip to work, but at some point, you just have to move on.

@Tmchiasson, almost all the issues you are reporting have been fixed, especially on iOS. If your experience is different, please email support@mobicip.com and we should be able to address anything that is reproducible on our end. Apologies for the inconvenience and frustration caused. Please know that, if setup correctly, Mobicip does work reliably as it has been for hundreds of thousands of families.
Terrible but sometimes ok..
dissapointed-customer.
This app is terrible. I am a child that is forced to use Mobicip, and let me tell you, this thing glitches. Me and my dad have this thing called restricted mode and free time. Between 9:30 and 4:00 I have restricted mode on my phone which does not let me go on social media, safari, etc.I am not mad because of this, I have learnt to deal with that. It is free time I am targeting. Mobicip's free time lets you go on any app you have downloaded, with no restrictions unless you go on a website or app that is innapropriate. Almost daily, after either sleep mode or restricted mode, my free time apps will not come back. This really bothers me because I am clearly in my free time, but I do not have my apps. And guess what, Mobicip does not hesitate to count down my minutes for overall screen time to make my phone completely shut off. Great. I do not want to have a screen time app that tics down my time but does not let me use my apps I would like. I would like this app much much much more if it would not do this, so maybe, just maybe, someone could try to fix this.

@dissapointed-customer, we can understand your frustration and disappointment. If you could please do us a favor and have your parent shoot an email to support@mobicip.com, we can identify the account, troubleshoot the problem, and resolve the issue. Without looking at the account, our best guess is that there is a simple conflicting setting that is causing the problem. Please do get in touch and we are waiting to help you.
Tried others, no comparison

This is not the first parental control software I had installed. The others have been uninstalled and refunded. I had trouble accessing a commercial website due to having a proxy server ( I think that was the issue), I reported it to Mobicip and they were very responsive. They kept me up to date on their progress and have fixed the issue. I would not recommend any other. UPDATE September 7, 2022 i had an issue logging into the AARP website and reported it to Mobicip. Within 24 hours they emailed me back with some suggestions to see if it could be simply resolved, it persisted. I reported back and they sent it to their development department. The issue has been fixed better than i could have asked. I STILL recommend Mobicip for all your VPN needs. UPDATE November 8,2022 I purchased a new laptop and was getting an intermittent “authentication error” message. I sent it to Mobicip and had a response and repair (partly my fault) within a few days. I now have no issues with “authentication error” and am totally satisfied with the quick response. I STILL recommend Mobicip for all VPN needs.
