Terrible but sometimes ok..

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.

This is the most glitchy crap I have ever seen,
01/19/2023

james mccutcheon
I am very irritated by this app I tried to give this to my kids and told them this would be a new start for us. Me and my family found a game called Block Puzzle. It was very fun, but then, when their move a kid time ran out, I tried to give them more. After this happened, they sent me a request. I I approved it. We were having a family competition and it was going very well. After I approved my son’s request. It took at least 10 to 15 minutes for it to actually work. After that he got on the app for three minutes which I approved for 15 and I am not lying.I looked everywhere to find how to delete the Mobicip app. it would not let me and my kids could not delete it themselves even though I may try turn that feature off. Then my daughters ran out, and I try to give it to her. after I did this it did the same thing with my son took 15 minutes to except and I I was sure we had good Internet and then only gave for five minutes of screen time after excepting 15 we then had to go to bed because it was so late. I hope that you can fix these issues and please respond to mine. Sincerely, Jamie.
