Mobicip Parental Control with Screen Time

I really think that you should add something that warns parents about using this on kids on the older part of the spectrum. I'm 14 years old and this app is extremely frustrating for me. A lot of the times it blocks the wrong things and it takes a while to unblock those sites, which causes a lot of frustration, and on 80% of all Google sites, like if I'm opening someone else's Google Docs or trying to watch a Youtube video, I have to do the ReCaptcha and reload around 7 times, and sometimes even that doesn't work. Imagine you having to go through that multiple times a day. When you're a kid, obviously these things can help you to stay focused, stay away from bad sites, but I definitely think it causes too much inconvenience and stress for a teenager who has to use a computer for everything. It will never teach responsibility, since the parent is forcing "responsibilty". The child will never learn the lesson themselves that screen time can be bad, because they'll be aching for it, they'll want it so bad, and when they finally have the freedom, they're not going to have the responsibility. Please, add something to your page about this issue, and fix the problems I mentioned. This is a big source of my stress and frustration everyday and on top of my other mental issues it gets to be a pretty big deal. I think a lot of parents don't get this and are fine with putting restrictions as long as it keeps their child in check without thinking about the serious consequences especially as the child gets older.

it sucks and i docent let us accsess any thing we want too nothing will let us on

I couldnt rate this one star...

This is a PARENTAL control app, supposedly to "protect" your children by restricting sites that they would enjoy, this app has no why to set an age, and mobicip has full control over everything that your child sees. Even searching up "hardware" will block you child's internet and cut off usefull sites they need for school, just because there is one inappropriate add.

This is a great app! Love it so much. It can control everything!!!

Doesnt work, now I cant remove it... Worst... Can I give it a zero?

This service looks promising, but the overall experience is complete crap. If you install it it immediately sets itself up as a proxy WITHOUT TELLING YOU. The result in my case was that suddenly I couldn't access my work email and calendar through Chrome. Also, you can't manage your subscription online. You have to email their customer support. Total fail.

For time limits, $40/yr required.

I understand this is an issue with all chromebooks, but this extension can be deleted without any password or anything and as such is completely useless due to any kid being able to delete it as soon as their parents or anyone else installs it.

I don't think anyone should use it, but try it if you want. Pros: -Good for restricting everything, especially for challenges. -Last Resort. Cons: -Again, Last Resort, the last thing you ever want is your number 1 priority sites (e.g. Drive; Gmail; Google; etc.) getting BLOCKED. -Time limits make everything worse, setting a stupid time for a prank is good and fun, but setting it as the limit for EVERY SINGLE DAY, is just straight up unfair(sometimes you can't even change it on a different device). -IT CAN BLOCK SITES BY ITSELF!!!! -In my opinion, I hate restrictions all together.(This con was not part of this review) -On the site, it showed a section of a kid's list of app and games, and I am really not happy with the outcome. 3 things, 1 being that NO ONE EVER RESTRICTS APPS THIS MUCH, I understand some apps as not all apps are meant for kids, but blocking YouTube, Netflix, MINECRAFT...WHY...THAT PERSON HAS TO BE STUPID(what other word was there to use.) TO THINK MINECRAFT IS A SOCIAL MEDIA APP/GAME NOT FOR KIDS, IT'S A GAME, RATED E FOR TaylorMinecraftGaming's SAKE...TMG's sake, what..."VIDEO" GAMES, NOT "distracting games". (Sorry for having that one long, and I forgot 2 and 3. | 2: You can't set more then 4 time limits a day. 3: Only 1 hour? What ever happened to "kids freak-out whenever something of theirs went wrong"? Did it just go non-existent? And why not 2 or 4...or 5. At least a reward for waiting 2-4 hours just to be on it for 1 hour...WOW, just to be on it for 1 hour, how sad.) -The final Con. The thing itself is just straight up full-on, PASD, restricts everything, doesn't care who it is, as long as it's restricted, it will not go away...until 10 years after its been put on the system. This is the longest review I've done, the review might seem like it was all "THIS IS EVIL, WHY IS THIS A THING", but the reason why it's 2 stars and not 1 is because the concept of this app/extension is creative. It's not bad, it's not good either, but restrictiveness...meh, I didn't like restrictions in the 1st place.

I cant do a thing! i cant download games or go to any app other then where i work.i hate it and gess what? Sometimes it even blocked my work! Me and my mom have to spend hours fixing it and its the worst app ever! My parents spent a lot of money on it and its so bad! I cant even uninstal the stuipid thing!

So it was great for the first couple months of use. Then I disabled it, and everything was still fine. Then when I re-enabled it, it didn't pop up as the mobicip thing, it said "Privacy error" so I believe they are trying to hack me or steal my info. They also took away my internet access until I disabled again.I am never enabling it again.

I really like the implementation and the interface. The Chromebook support is pretty nice. But wow is it SLOW!!! The only thing slower is their tech support! I'm in the trial period and if I don't hear from them soon I will not be paying for this product.

Mobicip is one of the few parental applications that claim to work on Chromebooks; unfortunately, its functionality is very limited: 1. The time limits function only establishes the time period on which the device can be used, not the number of hours. Other apps like Qustodio allows you to set up a number of hours of total screen time (on all devices) in a given time period; for example your child can use technology from noon to 8 pm, but only to up to two hours. 2. The control, just as it is, is limited to browsing the internet, so even when the "limits" are reached, the child can still use apps. A better functionality can be achieved with a good router, just turn off the internet after 8 and before noon (for example) and the same effect is achieved. 3. No easy way is provided to cancel the subscription, an email has to be sent requesting that, and even tough they replied quickly in my case (hence the two stars, not one) it's still not ideal. Since the app did not fulfill my needs on chromebook, I did not test on other systems, but still I can't recommend Mobicip.

I don't like it very much, but it's moderate for superyoung people on the interwebs. gimme back my 40 wasted dollars.

i mean..just gimme a little more privacy. this really intrudes on my personal life. im stuck in quarintine and i cant talk to anyone...thanks.

Excellent to protect very young users. Not secure enough to control more experienced users. [I'm still learning about Chrome, so my opinion may change.]
