Parental Control App - OurPact for Positive User Reviews
✓ Exactly what I wantedPro: controls the apps and timings exactly how I wanted it to. Con: computer set up required, but worth the extra effort to get the app I need. I wanted this app because it allowed me to give my six year old unlimited access to certain apps (educational, reading and music) and controlled access during a specific time duration (1 hour between 4-7 pm). And no access to other apps (like the App Store)..Version: 8.5
✓ Great way to limit screen timeThis app is easy to use and gives clear instructions. Highly recommended for parents who wants to manage screen time for their kids..Version: 2.2
✓ It worksMy son has autism and I also split time with his dad- so we wanted a way for him to have a phone and be able to communicate with us at any time, but also didn’t want the phone to be a distraction at school. We also wanted to have control over the apps that he had access to, especially the internet. That was 6 years ago- and we’ve been using Ourpact ever since. His younger sister also has it on her phone now. I didn’t have any issues downloading the apps or upgrading. It is annoying that it jumbled their apps, but the kids don’t really seem to care. I also like that it can take screenshots periodically, so I can monitor them without being right on top of them all the time. Their phones are available, but not a distraction at school or when we’re at events, etc. Timers turn off apps well before bedtime and during the school day, and we can determine how much time they get to play games and when. Also comes in handy when kids are throwing attitude or not listening and I can turn their apps off real quick :) I recommend this app to everyone, especially parents with kids who are about to get their first phone or parents who are having issues with their kids sneaking or using their phone inappropriately or excessively..Version: 8.9.1
✓ Could be improved but v. usefulVery handy for children who will sit on an iPad for hours! But would be good to have the capabilities to choose, for example, 1 hour, and allow the child to have that hour when is convenient with parent and child, maybe sporadically and not in one chunk. It seems that your child might want to come off iPad due to end of game but will feel like they should spend more time just because they have it available at that specific time slot. Otherwise, this app is a blessing.Version: 5.0
✓ Fabulous appThis app has been a godsend! There's no arguments just app shut down when pre planned I totally recommend this app to anyone with children who's heads are always down and never looking around!.Version: 2.2
✓ OurPactWe love it, the child doesn't. Watch the flight mode though. If that's on, it can't be block unless we find a way around it..Version: 4.0
✓ Great app for managing child screen timeGood for managing on a routine basis, and it can be done remotely. The plus version does not allow individual app screen time control, but can live without. Lastly, granting screen time requires internet access on both parent and kid device, so it is inconvenient when we are out and about.Version: 4.9
✓ Great app! Great support!First thing is- This app IS involved in its installation, especially if you're going to subscribe to premium service like we have. After spending a good chunk of time setting up our family's devices, it's totally worth it. And we didn't stop with the kids' devices, we put it our own devices. Yes, the parental phones! Why? Because it helps us manage distraction ourselves! We can control what apps appear when we want and at what time on ALL our devices. Beyond this, let me tell you about their support! After botching part of the install, I emailed support and got a reply in minutes. This support was the BEST I've seen from an app and program provider in my 25 years of using Apple products! I don't write reviews often, but I wanted to write one for Our Pact. It's a game-changer. It's time for us to take back control of our devices and have them stop controlling us! Great job Our Pact!.Version: 4.4
✓ Very ImpressedEasy to use and the prestige download stops the iPad from rearranging the icons..Version: 2.2
✓ New update works.I had and issue with 7 version but contacted the help department they fixed it quickly. It seems to work fine now. The app itself is amazing. I use it to block mostly at night or if my kids are having difficulty interacting with the environment around them. If my kids need extra time I extend it. I like how I can block apps that are harmful for them (with premium version). They don’t like being block out. But they’re children and they do NOT need free access to roam the net. Also children who are giving this app a low rating and saying it’s a violation of privacy, no it’s not. If you’re under your parents roof there is no privacy. Parents are to guide kids because their prefrontal cortex is not fully developed, their decision making skills are poor. Using this app protects your kids. As a parent that’s your job..Version: 8.0
✓ Great app. Issue with new updateI haven’t been able to keep the login status since last update. I have been having to log in and put the password in every time I log in. How can I fix this please.Version: 8.9.3
✓ About time!I really like this. Life is so busy and this is the easiest way in our busy household to make sure everyone gets real "face" time! I am confused about the price though. My app says it is 6.99/mo for premium and the web says it is 4.99/mo.Version: 4.4
✓ Super Easy To UseI like this app because it's very easy to install & use. Download the prestige link from the website so that your apps are restored to your original order once parental control is turned off. When lock is put on iPad no internet run apps are available but I notice that games that don't need the Internet (like minecraft) are still available. Would be good to be able to lock or allow specific apps..Version: 2.2
✓ Very happyFinally a free app to manage my children's devices to monitor their internet usage. Brilliant.Version: 1.1
✓ Love itEasy to use works well.Version: 1.5
✓ Good little appWe are using the plus version. Great app other than the icon scrambling. But I can’t justify $13 a month just to fix this. My only feedback would be to please remove the flashing background on the logon screen - with white text is becomes very difficult to read and is causing eye strain!.Version: 5.4
✓ Automatic switch offThe auto switch off and switch on feature is great - you can set and forget. You can set up a routine that takes away the angst and cuts out the tears!.Version: 4.4
✓ App diminishes device power over familyOur family loves this app. With four kids in range from 16-6 years old, it’s been difficult to manage all their different device needs for school and entertainment. OurPact saves us from all the power struggles and arguments with our kids. Now everyone in our house has a fair opportunity to be part of making smart choices when it comes to device use, rather than us as parents having to be the managers all the time. We use the schedule feature, and each child has a different schedule based on their developmental level and school needs. I especially love that if the app is glitchy (hey, it’s a fast moving tech world!) I can go online and manipulate the kids’ schedules just the same. Other loves: - locked app home screen on my phone so the Little’s can’t get into it - premium feature that allows us to leave certain apps open all the time. This is most necessary for the older kids and the apps they need open all day for school. - being able to block specific apps entirely- so huge when all our devices are Apple and the kids can airdrop any Family shared apps to their devices without notice to the parent. - online support has been awesome, friendly, helpful! Long story short- what used to be a major point of contention in our house has become a non-issue, thanks to OurPact and the flexibility it offers in managing all our kids’ devices..Version: 4.6
✓ AnnoyingMy phone always switches off whenever i need it the most to check SMHW. It dosent help me make any arrgangements with my friends on the weekend causebit keeps switching off. Sometimes theres a glitch and it would keep switching on and off.Version: 5.4
✓ Love this App!!!Absolutely love this app😇 has helped our family so much thank you.Version: 1.5
✓ Awesome appAwesome app. Instant response received from children who no longer have ears when they are on their devices..Version: 1.4
✓ ONE issue stopped my useThis is definitely the most useful app I have found - for myself! I am an adult, and am absolutely tired of seeing everyone around me wasting time on their phones (you older adults, too!). I wanted to lead by example and unplug. I set the times I wanted to unplug and was so thankful to see all of my distracting apps disappear. I was able to focus on myself, take better care of my mental health, and go to bed earlier without constantly checking my phone or getting distracted. I am absolutely in love with this feature! Unfortunately, the app scrambling that occurs after the break period is over is too overwhelming for me. I got really anxious seeing my apps spread over three pages (I keep them all color-coordinated in folders on the very first page). The premium feature is just not in my budget to combat this issue. However, I must give credit where credit is due. This app gets the job done, even though it is unlikely that I will use it again..Version: 5.0
✓ Working fine perfectly since the updateHas been using for a few years, can’t complain.Version: 8.9.5
✓ AwesomeI'm an IT Security Professional and this is hands down the best parental control app I've seen. It has helped us to create a framework for our son where he can sleep at night, while still being allowed to use essential apps. After one month he is a much improved son, much less moody and no longer late for - or tired in - school. A good nights sleep really make a difference. Before this app I had to take his phone and/or SIM card as he found ways to circumvent the inbuilt Apple Screen Time (it's actually very easy to circumvent unfortunately). It has also helped our younger daughter by blocking her apps on school mornings when it is time to get ready and dressed for school. No more arguing and/or forcing the iPad away from her on school mornings. Both my son and daughter have accepted it after only 2 days of getting used to it. Tips for parents: Use it sensibly and NOT like a sick control freak - never use it in anger/frustration, but stick to a schedule/rules they know about. Talk to your kids about why they're getting it. Tell them why it's a big advantage to them. And make sure there are NO active restrictions when they're around friends, or they WILL be bullied hard! Totally game changing. Totally regained parental control. Totally the most sensible money I'm spending for a long time!.Version: 7.4
✓ Game changerWe have had this app on our Daughters phone for a while now and it is a game changer in our house. We no longer have to have the argument to take the phone or tell her to get off the phone it all happens on a schedule. If chores have not been done she is totally blocked until they are completed. I can manage apps on her phone and provide adult content protection. I can schedule access to the basics such as telephone, music educational apps to be available at all times and the extras when the time is appropriate. I have recommended this to so many parents. A must have if you have children..Version: 5.4
✓ A dream come true!I have been waiting for a parental control app like this for Lord knows how long. I have probably downloaded in excess of 20 different parental control apps. One of the biggest issues I have had with the apps I previously purchased was the inability to block/control individual apps on the iphone. Other issues experienced were scrambling and unscrambling of the app layout after blocking and unblocking. This app has everything I want: time controls, the ability to control individual apps, and a way to prevent the scrambling of the app layout. The family locator is a bonus! I tend to run late when going to pick up my children from the school bus and having the locator that works in REAL TIME allows me to have an idea of where they are. I LOVE THIS APP! I would pay $20 a month for this app. The only downside I experienced was difficulty setting it up. It took me forever. My child has a 64 GB phone and had over 50 GB free, but I kept getting an error message that there was not enough free space to complete the set up. I ended up having to do a factory reset which was extremely time consuming. However, it was worth it. Thank you so much!.Version: 4.9
✓ Solid app with some quirksOverall I like the app for what it does to controlling the devices. Kids love it when they’re zoned in and I block it all! There are some features I’d like to be considered: So iPhone X face recognition.... if it doesn’t catch you right away, say you’re off the app for a minute and go back, it makes you put in the user and password. No way to re-invoke the face recognition. It doesn’t allow for iPhone saved user Id and password key thingy either. Super annoying when you’re used to using the face recognition feature for everything. Ability to set time of day for certain apps... that would be awesome. I don’t want to put music as part of their screen time but I’d also like to be able to shut it down at a certain time of day. Ability to add time. I’d like to quickly say, here’s 30 more minutes or an hour and overrules the time limit and bedtime schedule. Timer sometimes randomly eats all the time away before they’re even awake in the morning. Seems to happen if thy don’t pause it before the bedtime locks the device down. Usage: I’d love a report emailed to me with sites visited. I’d love to see the amount of time spent on a certain app directly in this app. Alerts: let me know when my kid sneaks on my wife’s phone and changes the schedule or allows unlimited time. I’d love to beta test any and all of these features or any others that you’re considering. Thanks!.Version: 5.3
✓ Awesome AppSo good to hear the screeching from the other side of the house when I hit the "Block" button. Can't really fault this app, works just like it should, easy setup, easy to pair up your devices and a nice and simple interface to work with. My new bestie....Version: 4.0
✓ A Must Have For Families!!!This app has been an absolute godsend for our family!!! We already have strict rules around electronics and internet usage, but Our Pact makes it so much easier! I have schedules set so my kids can’t access apps during school hours, everything turns off at a certain time every night and I can also turn on and off apps whenever I want. I paid for the premium option and love that I can turn off individual apps and decide what they have access to and when. I have recommended this app to so many families and will continue to do so!!!.Version: 4.8
✓ Great appThis is an outstanding product. It gives the control back to parents and opens up discussion and communication with kids! Highly recommended.Version: 1.4
✓ Was pretty complex to set up - but it works beautifullyI have two kids and two iPhones to set up, and the process was a good bit more involved than I expected. For the “premium” level with all the controls (which frankly is the service level any responsible parent will want), you have to back each kid’s phone up to iTunes on your (parent) laptop, then erase and reinstall each one with a new OurPact-controlled OS. As luck would have it, both phones decided during the process that they also had to download and install a new OS update, so the process of setting up two kid phones, two parent laptops and two parent iPhones took almost 2 hours. But the step-by-step directions in the installation utility and on the website were extremely thorough and I got through it without any problems - just took a while. (I do have to wonder though about how a less tech-savvy parent might fare..?) With the installation now behind us, we really like the design and function of the app. It gives us a new level of peace of mind by allowing us to limit our kids’ screen time, and to have pinpoint control over their Instagram/Snapchat/texting/Facebook/social media/Safari use..Version: 4.8
✓ Needs pin to lock appGreat app but need to be able to lock with pin only access. My kids are pretty sneaky and constantly spy when unlocking phone and everytime they change there schedule.Version: 1.4
✓ The best!It is so easy to use and it works perfectly. I don’t even fight with my son over his iPad being turned off. Every night the timers is set and his iPad becomes inactive the only app he can use is his alarm clock till the set morning time goes off and it’s back to active. I highly recommend this product..Version: 4.9
✓ So much power!I love Our Pact - I have the ability to control my kids "electronics" and no longer can they sneak the device back and start playing on it again without my knowledge!.Version: 2.2
✓ Really brilliantIn NZ the government banned smacking your kids, but these guys have us a better behaviour management tool! Works really well easy to set up ... All parents need this!.Version: 1.4
✓ Love it, so farDoes what it claims. I can even set a schedule on my child's iPad so that non school friendly app, eg games, I decide to be blocked are stopped during school hours..Version: 4.4
✓ Love itSo far so good. Had it for a day across 5 devices. Easy to use and you feel in control of the device. Kids are aware it’s on and now the trust game begins..Version: 5.4
✓ Brilliant AppWe’ve used this app for years with our 4 children. They know the cut off times so it’s not abrupt. It’s more of a timetabled event and gives a clear message that you can’t spend all day gazing at a screen!.Version: 8.7.1
✓ AwesomeI've tried a few parental control apps and they're either too complicated or too simple and in one instance the kids found a glitch where by they'd double click to close the app entirely - and therefore would be able to stay on way past their time limit. This app is easy to install and so far they haven't found a way around it - yay! I also love the override buttons as it makes instant changes despite the daily schedule so you can "ban" the iPad or allow a privilege 😊😊😊.Version: 1.4
✓ Okay for young kidsI have this on both my teenage son and 10year old daughter iPhones. His is iPhone XR and hers and iPhone 11. It works well, I have the preferred plan that I pay monthly for. I had this for a little while and used it to entice my kids to get their school work and chores done and I didn’t get home until later in the evening and don’t like to come home barking orders. Also, my teenager has a real hard time realizing that bedtime doesn’t mean you just shut off the lights and play on your phone but that you actually go to sleep! This worked for a while until he realized that if you turn your phone off and back on the “block” feature resets on its own to “granted.” I can still make it a mild inconvenience for him to continuously block his apps after restarting his phone but that only works whilst IM awake. Suffice it to say, this doesn’t work for him anymore. I am currently searching for a better app for my defiant teenager since beating him is illegal but will stick with this one for my youngest!.Version: 7.4
✓ Highly recommendedThis is the best app I’ve ever had. Easy to control a child’s device and also support team are great if you have any queries..Version: 4.9
✓ My saviour !Great App , such a big help with getting all the chores gone , shower time , meals etc . Will be 5 stars when the screen time update arrives ..Version: 2.2
✓ Great parenting tool!Love this app. The ability to monitor how much time gets spent on their iPads with the tap of a button is great. My children are even used to it now and don't even bother complaining. When my son gets his first cellphone I will be installing our pact on it for sure..Version: 2.2
✓ Not able to downloadI had this last year and was working fine. Removed it because didn't feel the need anymore. Now twin boys starting secondary school and have got new phones. I need this app and don't know why I am not able to download it.Version: 5.3
✓ Saves my sanityUsing premium, I don't have to constantly kick my kids off of their screens. They are learning to budget their time and we can discuss how much time allowance is reasonable. I do wish you could add/subtract to the allowance time counter, but manual granting/blocking is a loose alternative. And now with Ourpact (premium) maintaining icons and folders, my kids don't gripe (much). I'd also like to allow more time for some apps then others...someday perhaps... but the basic ability to leave school apps available 24/7 while games are within their daily allowance & before bedtime is a big help..Version: 4.4
✓ Happy MotherA great app to limit teenagers social media usage.Version: 5.0
✓ Peace and productivity restored in our home!Great app, simple to install and use. No more nagging 😍.Version: 5.0
✓ I wish they didn’t do itMy dad uses this with me and my bro, he wouldn’t give me any warning when he blocked me and didn’t care if I were talking to my friends and they thought I was being really rude. I organised my iPad so that whatever the app colour is, it’s in with all the other ones it’s colour but when my dad blocks me and then enables me they are all jumbled up. I have this a 3 because it does get me and my bro off our iPads and outside more and we have come closer bc of it..Version: 7.1
✓ Cyber safety at its finestA simple to use platform, to keep your children safe from online threats. Control content, time the screen time and have total control over your child's mobility device. A great app which I'm currently telling more and more people about.Version: 4.0
✓ AwesomeGreat app. Easy to use. Definitely recommend using 'Prestige' add on to stop apps rearranging..Version: 1.4
✓ Best App ever!Great for monitoring children's use of device time. Scheduled and allowing or blocking at any time..Version: 2.7
✓ Our pactWonderful to have parental control that works and is flexible for any situation!!.Version: 2.2
✓ Best everExcellent and easy to use.Version: 5.4
✓ BrilliantWe’ve had this app for several years and it’s only been getting better and better with its updates. I like that it’s continually improving... it’s easy to use and much better than the limits that come with your device - giving more selective control over specific apps. The new installation process is so easy and simple - it’s a huge improvement and keeps you informed of what’s happening and what will haven next every step of the way. It would be really good to have a tor’s nearly up warning on the children’s devices to help them prepare for the screen turning off as it can be very abrupt otherwise. But I tell my kids to put a timer on so they can have a 5min warning and not start a new game. Thanks Ourpact! 🥰.Version: 8.2
✓ Works great!I absolutely love this app! I have been using it since 2016. Some apps never add new features but the developers keep coming up with more things that make my life easier and give me peace of mind. I love the new geofencing feature. My daughter tends to become a bit obsessed with her electronics and it’s helpful to eliminate the distracting apps during times that she needs to do homework or access to apps that can help her in daily activities. Maybe you can develop an adult version that I can use so I won’t get distracted by my phone too. :) I suppose I could add my own phone to the managed devices. My daughter has some complaints though. You may not be able to do anything about this. She was was wondering if you could make an exception for apps that use time for the time allowance. She loves to listen to music but it uses her allowance. She also gets very upset when she forgets to pause her time for her allowance and she runs out of time. I’m just passing these on. She has other options for music when she’s at home. The rest just involves being willing to communicate her needs and wants in an appropriate way to me to get more time. She’s still figuring this one out. Thanks for developing a great app! I look forward to seeing all of the features you will come up with in the future..Version: 5.3
✓ Don't be without it!I love this app. I have total control over when my kids can use their devices. I can also see when they have tried to or managed to disable their devices from my control..Version: 2.2
✓ PerfectAwesome app, easy to use. Will recommend for sure!!.Version: 1.4
✓ Super AppGreat app to control kids time on their phones and it works well.Version: 2.1
✓ Love this app, but have requestsMy husband and I love this app! We have used it for years. Our kids use their phones as alarm clocks. And we like for them to have their phones in case of emergency. This app allows us to shut down their devices instead of taking them away. It adds an extra measure of safety as well. We have the premium version. I do have a few update requests for the developers. It would help tremendously if there was an in-app messaging system to OurPact Jr. That way, when our kids’ devices are blocked, we can still message them information. I don’t want them to receive texts from their friends - just me.😆 This would be especially helpful when they’re grounded and their devices are blocked for long periods of time. In a perfect world, an automatically emailed device report would be helpful too! Just a few ideas from a mom-user.🙂.Version: 8.5
✓ Peace of MindAwesome way to make sure that Technology doesn’t take over my children’s lives. Technology is to be earned and this enables me to reinforce it without having to constantly take their phones away..Version: 5.0
✓ So far so good!We tried for almost a year to get our teen to regulate her own phone usage to no avail. After many fights and having to remove the actual phone at bedtime we heard of this app. I am in no way thinking the fights are over but at least now we don’t have to watch the clock and ask her to turn it off and then argue with her. It will simply stop working. We are only using the basic version for now, but will definitely consider the paid version if needed so we can turn the phone off during school. Our teen’s school does not seem to fight phone use in class and instead sets aside class time for “tech time” so sadly any regulation will need to be done by us. My only complaint so far is that the app you put on your kids phone will rearrange their home screen and all their apps every time their phone is blocked and unblocked. Not a crisis but if this didn’t happen that would be great. One less thing for the kids to complain about 😏 Oh and if you are a parent go read the reviews for the kid version of the app Our Pact Jr😆 The reviewers are almost all the kids and reading them made me even more confident that this was the way to go! I laughed until I cried at the kids arguments against this app and how it ruined their lives. Their advice to other kids was to not “allow” your parents to install this on your phone😆 Such an entitled bunch of kids these days!.Version: 4.8
✓ Possible improvementsWe love the app, it gives us 100% control during the scheduled time. A possible improvement would be a fourth setting that locks selected app outside of schedule time and leaves it unlocked during scheduled time. Currently if app not locked, then this app can be used outside of the scheduled time. Currently, if phones are not physically removed from child, they can spend all night on (let’s say) WhatsApp if that app is not time bound. Hope this make sense.Version: 8.6
✓ Monitor screen time from anywhereExcellent app! Stops my son waking at 3am and sneaking his iPad from upstairs! I can grant or block access from any location whether I'm with him or not. Can have multiple children set up, which I do, and it works great. The schedule is great so that it automatically blocks at a certain time at night and doesn't grant them access again until a certain time in the morning that I have set. Would be good to be able to choose individual apps to block or grant as well, otherwise this would have 5 stars..Version: 2.2
✓ Almost Perfect!I went ahead and gave it 5 stars anyway. I am an iOS developer myself, and I know the incredible amount of thought and work that goes into creating something like this. I have read some of the other reviews and I have to say that most of the negative reviews are just silly. Of course you need an internet connection. How else is the device going to receive commands. Of course the installation is involved. Honestly though, the installation took me less than 5 minutes - and wasn’t difficult at all. I can understand that some people may get confused - but honestly - you must realize what the developers at Our Pact have created is no easy feat. We have tried just about every parental control app available all to our dissatisfaction. Our Pact accomplishes 95% of what we were looking for. Having said that, the reason this review is entitled “Almost Perfect” is because there is one thing this app is missing. That is the monitoring of which web sites the child goes to as well as the monitoring of text messages and whatnot. However, the reason I gave this app 5 stars is due to the fact that this app’s purpose isn’t to monitor, but rather to teach children good device habits and accountability as well as personal responsibility. Well done! Thank you for all of your effort and hard work!.Version: 4.5
✓ Awesome !!This app is fantastic ! My son would arc up when I would ask for his phone, but since putting a predicted time limit on his phone, he is great, he knows when it will block and that’s that. I love the fact that he can still message but not access the apps or take pics. Yes it jumbles the apps but just leave them the way they jumble them or pay the money !.Version: 5.0
✓ Best parental control for iPadI like the feature that individual app can be controlled thru schedules!!.Version: 4.4
✓ Power back!!Awesome - this app gives power back to the parents 😀 Thank you.Version: 1.4
✓ WowI just want to say thank you for designing an app that can keep our children safe, I think mobile phones have created a constant battle of safety for us all (even adults!!) so to have an agreeable way to negotiate with my child of how to stay safe on her phone is essential. Amazing app 😊.Version: 5.4
✓ I hate the creators and the app.I have limited time to write this review. Our pact is restricting my time on almost every app on my phone including the applications app I am using now. When my parents were children, they were outside almost all night doing whatever we please. Now we live in a sad generation when they have to be hovering over us like a puppeteer! Sitting in my room on my phone all night is definitely more safe than going outside in some ways. This generation socialize, and interact on the INTERNET, on their PHONES! Why have a phone if it’s just going to get restricted anyway? Our pact? There is no PACT. I NEVER AGREED TO ANY OF THIS! I bet if I restricted their every movements on the internet they wouldn’t be very happy at all..Version: 5.3
✓ The best appThe easiest app to use and has everything I want . I have tried so many other ones and this is by far the best I have used !!!!.Version: 7.1
✓ Awesome app!Gives really easy control over device use! Easy to use. The kids hate it, which means it works! I'd have given it 5 stars if it didn't rearrange all the apps and folders every time though..Version: 1.2
✓ Control at lastWorks well- might even get the paid version but happy enough with this one so far.Version: 5.3
✓ Save our peaceSave our pact allows us to finally be a family without devices😊 we can blame the internet instead of being held responsible for turning of devices! Thank you, thank you, thank you❤️.Version: 4.4
✓ I think kids commenting on this is funnyLet me also address the questions below: 1. We got you a phone because we gave you the benefit of the doubt and trusted you would be responsible 2. Times are changing yes, which means we need to use technology to benefit our lives. That’s not an excuse to spend 24 hours a day on your phone playing games, looking at social media and talking to your friends 3. Your mad this app is controlling you when the reason this was put on your phone in the first place is because you were uncontrolled with your phone...aka this app was put on your phone because of you and your lack of responsibility and self control 4. You all think you are entitled to your phones and that your parents are horrible for taking them away...but who is paying for them? 5. I highly doubt this was your parents first option. All of you probably got talked to numerous times about your phone and ignored your parents because you didn’t agree and didn’t care 6. Stop complaining, grow up and just be responsible instead.Version: 8.5
✓ Not perfection but.....I want my child to have a phone on him during the school day - but I don't want him to be preoccupied during that with texts and games and apps that are on it. Regular apple parental controls are picky and this app suits our needs very well. I have the premium service. I will say that installing it was a time sink but very doable. The features are mildly limited but for us they work and suit us just fine for our needs. Downside - 1) the apps get rearranged on his device 2) not having constant internet connectivity can cause hiccups. 3)game center was compromised 4) this is not the "end all be all app" and it has qwirks. We do have some time restrictions on both his phone and ipad - which he can often forget to pause or play - but in the end - we can make it through this inconvenience together. I can manange from my phone or computer and we can adjust at any time. So clearly by reading all of the reviews - this app isn't for everyone. But if your needs are similar to ours - you will appreciate this app..Version: 4.6
✓ PayI would pay money for this app you should make it worth money you would get so much money.Version: 8.5
✓ Parent Saver...The best app to allow me to monitor my sons time on their appliances. It’s been a real ease to work along side my sons with time on games and homework that they do on their iPads. Great app...love it..Version: 4.6
✓ Love itHave had this for about three years. It is worth the money. I can control every aspect of my children’s devices. You will not be disappointed and their support service is exceptional. Thank you OurPact!.Version: 7.1
✓ Block or Grant is PendingI'm a full subscriber I monitor many devices, I ran into an issue with one device remaining in Pending status although it had Cellular and Wifi connectivity. I was able to resolve it by removing Onovo/VPN and reinstalling. What I don't understand is that on that same device now working, VPN connection type is visible in Settings but on the other devices that I control, no reference to VPN. All IPhones ! Update sept 15: all good, Onovo uses that VPN, not OurPact, I removed it again ! Thanks.Version: 4.4
✓ DadJust got started with OurPact not sure how to work the tracking part of it not very up on the sort of technology but the ability to disable the cell phone is very helpful great stuff.Version: 5.4
✓ Challenging to start, yet it’s the best out there right nowThe concepts are great, but it’s not easy getting started and implementing the app. Once implemented, the premium app is well worth it. It is very expensive, yet the addictive properties of cell phones demand accompanying education in self-control, and this app is the best out there for now. The website has videos pulling your heartstrings about your relationship with your kids. Unfortunately the website is not so friendly when it comes to finding the instructions for using the app. One needs to bumble around until one runs into them at the bottom of the home webpage, because they’re not even labeled. App support responds quickly, but they send you generic instructions about the topic you’re inquiring about. With a little persistence they may write back with an actual answer, but such effort shouldn’t be necessary for something that will cost upward of $500 to cover one child’s teen years with the premium app monthly charges. Alas, until something else comes along, this seems to be the best app for parental control, so I’m recommending it..Version: 4.9
✓ Love itI love this app, I’ve been using it since around 2014 my boys have a schedule that locks out their iPads from bedtime to school the following morning. I can block or grant whenever I like. All I have to do is pick up my phone and they know to get off or it will be locked. Took the fight out of device time. Great work, keep it up!.Version: 5.0
✓ One glitch keeps the rating from greatSo, we have had OurPact premium for several months and overall I have been very happy with it. I had no problem installing it on my son's iPhone 5s but have not yet been able to install it correctly on the other son's iPod. I haven't spent a lot of time trying so I won't count off for that. I have one major issue that has arisen that really means I will probably cancel. Gamecenter. When apple deleted the gamecenter app that means it is no longer able to be controlled by OurPact and has become restricted completely. So, my son lost all his game progress on multiple games when I blocked them. While my husband says "who cares" I feel like that's a little harsh that I don't mind in his allotted screen time if he plays them and I know I would be really aggravated if I lost things like that. I feel like this may end up being a deal-breaker because if I can't limit games there is little point in having the app. If it wasn't for this issue I would absolutely love the app because I have such great control over his phone even when he's not with me..Version: 4.4
