Ratings and Reviews
New phone won’t transfer
I had given Boomerang one star because it would not let me keep my license for a new phone. It did finally get fixed and the Boomerang team asked me to contact them to get it fixed. I don’t need to now. While looking for a new AP, I realized there were some free ones that are too easy for my 13 year old to get around, and others that are much more expensive. Boomerang does what I need at a good price. I didn’t give 5 stars because of the time it took to get the new phone back on my account. Had I bought a new service, I may have had to go through the same problem.

Far and away best monitoring
Have used for several months. Highly, highly recommend. Great features, relatively easy to customize controls and allows extensive personalization. Can limit usage by time, by scheduled hours, or by app (allowing time limits on some apps, different limits for different apps). Can customize restrictions in almost limitless ways. My only wish is that it allowed social media monitoring, but not sure any service offers that option. I had tried a “top reviewed” service and hated it. Couldn’t get it to work and support nonexistent. The customer support for this app is great and I’ve always gotten quick personalized help few times I’ve needed it. Pricing far more reasonable than other services. Have recommended to other parents countless times. Five stars without hesitation.

Wish Apple would allow this
Boomerang has been great and helpful in getting a refund. I wanted this app to work so bad, but with the restrictions Apple put on these things, it would not help keep my daughter off of things she was not allowed to be on. She was able to just delete the app. I bought my kids iPads and am now regretting this decision because I have no parental control. My 10 year old daughter hacks it constantly!
