For iPhone 12 mini an app is not tracking almost anything, only phone contacts of the child. Customer service response time is longer than a week with general information, which doesn't resolve an issue. Response usually would say that an app might not work for all models. If an app is not suitable for iPhone, which is widely used globally than what is the point to offer this kind of service.

Like many others my experience of this app is that it simply DOES NOT WORK. When installed it blocks every application; including the system launcher, regardless of whether or not the application has been allowed or screen time is permitted. I've had to uninsall it completely from all devices just to allow my children to use their devices. Parental control is a highly contentious issue anyway, the behaviour of this app has only served to re-inforce my son's view that his parents should have no right to determine what, when, how and where he may use his devices. This has set my efforts back by at least 3 years. Until I read that a flawless installation can be achieved without the intervention of a support technician, [and I have yet to read a review of a successful assisted installation!] then I shall keep well away and will not be renewing my AV and security subscription next year.

I am a bitdefender user. I paid for the annual subscription. I thought your parental app would be better than google family link. I was wrong. 1. It can be uninstalled easily 2. It can be deactivated by turning off accessibility and using battery optimizer to not run it in the background. 3. It doesnt work - i tried setting it up on 2 gadgets. Both screentime and daily usage feature did not work. Even the locate feature doesnt work. I tried this on android phones running on android 8 and 9.

We installed this app on my daughter's tablet. The app rendered the tablet useless. Despite the fact that I marked play store and chrome as allowed, my daughter could not open them. Secondly, when I wanted to install the Google classroom app I couldn't get the play store open. I had to assign the device to myself in order to be able to install the app. This was after spending 20 minutes chatting with tech support. This app is terrible.

Great Antivirus but Parental Control had been always suffering... The latest break being not able to see in the Android Central app (parent device) the app names of my kid's device, although you may select each app and block/allow works! Pitty for the Bitdefender brand that the Parental Control had always problems... Would be great for allocating the resources to fix the Parental Control app at the level of the Antivirus.

My daughter's phone locked down completely to the point where it won't even turn on. I tried to factory reset the phone and it wouldn't work. Then I gave it to a specialist and they didn't know what was going on, and then I returned the phone back to the apple store to see if they could fix it. After the specialist took a look at it they knew exactly what was wrong when they tried turning it on they found the app had it glitches and they ended up going in factory setting it their store.👎👎👎👎
