Accountable2You Monitoring 4+

An incredible tool but can hinder trust too

This app has done a great job of discouraging bad choices and giving my spouse peace of mind. However, one challenge I find is a LOT of false alarms. Several questionable alerts came up the other day which sent my spouse into a temporary panic, because of a very normal app, theChive, can have pictures of women in bikinis, but isn’t the majority of their content. I did not know this, as I had only reviewed a compilation of “The customer isn’t always right” but it was hard to regain trust after the alerts were sent. Another example was a movie I was reading about; I wanted to know if it was based on a true story or not. The movie itself has no sexual content whatsoever, but the article I read sent a rather cryptic questionable activity alert to my spouse, again. I sent her a screenshot of my activity at that moment and all was well, so a little more polishing or careful reporting would be appreciated.

Thank you for the feedback! It's great to hear the app is helping overall, but we're sorry to hear about the false alerts – we know how stressful that can be. The App Store doesn't share your contact information, so I'd encourage you to contact our Support team about these alerts. They can see if anything can be done to help prevent them and share other best practices! Just reach out to them at support@accountable2you.com to start the conversation. 🙂

Become accountable or die

I like how this app sends a full browser history report instead of merely trying to block all explicit content (fool’s gold, in my opinion). The app flags questionsble content and has an optional instant alerts function to send immediate updates to accountability partners (aside from general daily or weekly reports of internet usage). I have had Accountable2You on my phone and Chromebook for a year now and plan to renew for another year. $84 is much cheaper than the physical, emotional, and spiritual damage of pornography.

Accountability doesn’t make you bulletproof; where there’s a will there’s a way. The only way to become bulletproof is to change your heart. Think of accountability as an extra layer of deterrence, a check/balance that facilitates wise decisions. An accountable person avoids unnecessary battles and is better equipped to deal with those necessary ones.

Thank you to the author of this app and others like them who have invested their time and skills to create products that promote human flourishing.

Accountability works for me

Once I had accountability partner(s) set up, I had to think twice about sites I was visiting. It gave me the little push I needed to behave more according to what I wanted for myself instead of what was easy or a negative pattern I had learned.
If you are able to behave according to your standards already, great for you! You might not need this. If you have online behavior that you want to change, but haven’t been able to stick to, this is a very simple tool that can get you over the hump.
