My Time by NETGEAR for Negative User Reviews

✓ 100% Ineffective Security TheaterThe best way to bypass this app is to simply delete it from your Home Screen and voila! Your kids can resume watching inappropriate videos recommended by AI algorithms. Additionally the VPN interferes with so many other things the juice isn’t worth the squeeze..FriedbeefsandwichVersion: 2.30.1.594

✓ I don't knowIt doesn't give people much freedom to do really anything.Mini bug😩Version: 2.30.1.594

✓ Loses your phone battery when not usingI wasn’t on my phone during the night but I had lost charge until 20%. I then lost 10% in a minute just being on the Home Screen. Imagine how fast it’ll go using an actual app..Anish PandaVersion: 2.30.1.594

✓ Won’t be renewing subscriptionWhen I first started using this app, I thought it was amazing and recommended it to all my friends. Now I’ve encountered enough bugs that I won’t be renewing my subscription. -You can’t give more than one reward a day (I did find a workaround but you shouldn’t have to do that) -It messes with third party apps. I started using it on my devices to control my twitter usage and next thing I knew, I was no longer able to use my bank’s bill pay or online chat and I when used google search, I would click on an ad but the website would not open. Once I stopped using it on my devices, I had no further issues. -I paused the internet on one profile using the nighthawk app and even after I unpaused it, the user wasn’t able to access wifi on their devices. I had to uninstall and reinstall the my time app on their device. -I don’t know exactly how their system works but it seems to count usage in increments of 5 minutes which quickly eats up time. -The my time app itself counts against the daily time each profile is allowed which also quickly eats up time. This seems to only happen if the app is accessed which is a lot when you have curious kids. I did contact Netgear support about the daily rewards issue and it was an absolute waste of my time..MmeecaseVersion: 2.30.1.594

✓ UnacceptableThis app disables all my internet access in my experience it is very insufficient in VPN i.e. I highly recommend a different one to use as it would give a much better service and option than this. I have to state that I am extremely disappointed and upset at this application/VPN.):.GctyifyguVersion: 2.30.1.594

✓ BadIt’s just bad overall. It should be shut down bc it messes with your settings and it is worthless and internet runs slow.JocypranktownVersion: 2.30.1.594

✓ TerribleBought it for one reason, to keep kids safe…. Utter waste of time and config and setup nigh impossible.Angrydad7777777Version: 2.25.0.230

✓ Pointless purchase with Netgear ArmorPurchased both subscriptions of Netgear Armor and My Time to monitor kids usage whilst away from home wifi and also be protected with bitdefender whilst on public/private wifi networks. Both Apps create “profiles” which are VPN’s but you can only have 1 VPN on at a time… So you can either be protected but they can surf what and when they want or monitored but open to the WWW and exposed to sites generally compromised. Netgear need to aggregate these services into 1 solution and make things a lot simpler..PloqazVersion: 2.25.0.230

✓ Worst app ever (even deleted)After I deleted this app, my YouTube and TikTok aren’t loading properly and my other apps still have limited access to the Internet. Ladies and gentlemen, (and for teenagers), if you’re seeing this review, then DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT. It will constantly keep messing with your Internet even after you delete it..Ehan250Version: 2.30.1.594

✓ Breaks devicesI am the 17 year old teenager of a parent who has been using these broken parental controls. 1) This was incredibly easy to bypass, both the actual account to control devices, and on the receiving end, where I was just able to access the device program codes of my macbook and pc and change the MAC address so the controls no longer work. 2) The ‘filter adult content’ settings was coded by someone with the IQ of half a newborn. It restricted online calculators, quora statistics tutoring forums, comment sections underneath Khan Academy youtube videos, etc. For the parents, if you want kids to be able to get their homework done while still being able to control their device usage, you cant. Even the adult setting for mature content filtering says “filters most mature content” and by the awful coding standards.. “most mature content” seems to be randomly decided. Under the teen setting, I can watch the most disturbing NC-17 movies, but I cant access educational forums. The thing is, you cannot control time limits if you turn off the mature content filtering, so nothing works as it should. 3) IT BREAKS UR TECH. Each hardware component on my pc was registered under a different name within the devices section of the orbi app. On this app, some of those hardware components responsible for internet connection were restricted… this ended up literally breaking my pc. The fans stopped working as well as the hard drive. A burning smell came from my PC even after I shut it off. Now, all programs or browsers I open give me a “program not responding window”, with no fix I could find either by my own approaches into my computers settings and control panel, or by resources online. 4) My dad doesnt know I have control over these settings. He has literally zero way of knowing unless I tell him. You guys are wasting who knows how much money for this service to break your tech and promote a relationship of secrecy between you and your kids. Helicopter parenting only ever ends with you on your deathbed in a nursing home and your kid 12 state borders away living happily and enjoying their relationship with their children because the one thing you did right for them was give them an example of how not to parent..ViggotheunicornVersion: 2.30.1.594

✓ Useless!As someone with kids...I do NOT recommend so I'll give you a rundown on why. - slows your internet down, I've been using this for a few years now but I've seen so many changes for the worst! - Tracks YOUR data, I've read up on this and found it sells your data which is horrible and an invasion of my privacy! - horrible software! The app is so slow and easy for kids to uninstall, it should at least notify you if that happens. Because of this (and more), I will be renewing my subscription thank you..😀review rider😀Version: 2.30.1.594
