Parental Control App - Mobicip 4+

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.

Get this app if you want your child to hate you

If you are thinking about getting this app please don't. This app dose nothing but make a barrier between you and your child. I have experienced what this dose to family’s. It’s not good. They say this app is for “child safety.” But I can assure you it just makes your child feel micro managed. I was/ still am scared that I’m gonna get in trouble every time I do something- sometimes things that I shouldn’t get in trouble for. This app causes me and a lot of other people I know depression, stress and severe anxiety. Coming from a child’s point of view all this app has done was made me miserable. I’ve had this app for 5 years and for god sake, a little advice for other parents, don’t treat your child like a toddler, part of growing up is getting more freedom, without freedom you will never mature. And also I would like to point out that your child most likely hates you because of this app, weather you realize it or not. I’m gonna state this again because I think it’s one of the more important things I’ve said- it’s also the thing that affected me the most - please don’t get this app, it most likely causes depression and anxiety and gives you immense stress. Please Parents don’t get this app for your child. Please I beg you, just because you can “protect” your child from some things doesn't mean it’s worth the years of stress and anxiety.

@yuki3, we are sorry that you feel this way. More than anything else, we take this commentary on feedback on the particular parenting style adopted by your parents. A parental control app has a limited purpose, which is to help a child learn to use technology responsibly. It is up to the parent to design the pathway to help the child navigate this learning curve. We recommend that you have an open and honest conversation with your parents on what is considered appropriate and fair use of screen time, internet and apps. Mobicip's parental controls are extremely flexible and can be tailored to suit exactly what you and your parents come up with in terms of house rules. Please try this and hopefully it will help you improve your situation.
