Boomerang Parental Control Customer Insights

1. This a great way to help keep kids safe online, prevent to much screen time, and block from using apps that I don't want them using.

2. All of these are also not allowed to be changed by the parent and the app decides whether it allows them or not.We've had a horrible time trying to keep Boomerang running on our daughter's new Samsung.

3. The best part for me is, I can have some of the apps, like camera, music and other stuff I feel they should be able to use without it counting toward there overall time.

4. It also randomly doesn't allow you to access certain areas of apps, such as looking at premium plans for Spotify.

5. I useless if I have the app that will just redirect me to a desktop website on my mobile phone...I've tried several monitoring apps and this one is by far my favorite.

6. User interface is simple to figure out and provides all the features I was looking for in a monitoring app.I have had a very positive experience with Boomerang for my teenage son over the past couple of years.

7. Even if I don't choose to set limits, I can see how much time my kid is spending on each app, and just knowing that I CAN temporarily pause his whole phone makes my 13yr-old put it down when I ask him to.

8. Another plus side is it tracks the device and gives off a ring if lost.The location aspect of this app doesn't work consistently.

9. After the set time is up, it also doesn't allow you to use basic functions like the quick menu.

10. I like that I can set screen/app time and easily extend time, but also individually select some apps as always allowed.

11. We've had a few glitches and I wish I could block text messages from non-contacts but I can at least do that with phone calls.
