Bitdefender Parental Control Reviews

BitdefenderParentalControl full Garbage can!!!

I put this on my son’s phone yesterday and was testing out the features. For apps you can only block ALL the 3rd party apps or none of them. I tested the function for blocking apps. It didn’t work within 15 minutes, so I turned the function back to allow all 3rd party apps.
The next (today) morning my son tries to open a game and the 3rd party apps disappeared. I noticed the allow and block function of the apps was glitchy after saving the settings from the bitdefender central app. I’d go back into BitdefenderParentalControl and the new settings didn’t save. I logged into the website and the settings did save there, but nothing changed on the phone for hours.

After fiddling with BitdefenderParentalControl and Bitdefender central for 2 hours, I tried to connect to chat support. After waiting 15 minutes (for an estimated 5 minute wait with 3 people in front of me - that never changed). I gave up and removed BitdefenderParentalControl and the bitdefender iOS profile settings. Then everything came back and worked fine.

Maybe the apps would’ve come back after more time, but it’s not convenient to wait hours and hours for the bitdefender settings profile to refresh. It’s not worth the hassle.

Does this not take advantage of the website blocking by interest for IOS? In Bitdefender app online I excluded my child from being able to view certain websites. However, BitdefenderParentalControl does not appear to enforce those rules nor does it seem to allow me to block certain applications. Not finding anything clear cut on it this topic so research before buying if purchasing for blocking sites based on content/interest rules or blocking access to apps

Might be the worst app release from a major manufacturer I have ever seen. Does not display date age gender when creating profile. If you do get past that step the management profile does not link to central rendering it completely useless. Considering resigning my box as well if this is the quality to expect from this company.

Very disappointed in BitdefenderParentalControl nothing works except gps tracking which apple already has. I followed the installation directions and gave permissions and I can’t block websites, screen time, pause the internet connection, I hope they get it working in the future at this point stay away

Hands-down, the most confusing app install I’ve ever worked with since I began using iPhone 15 years ago.

I installed on my sons phone and it doesn’t show any apps, only thing I can see is he’s location me screen time

BitdefenderParentalControl is horrendous app. My kids keep deleting this. it messed up 2 chrome books and I had no control over their phones. Do NOT recommend.

Grrrrr it won’t let me do something without my parent seeing, frustrating.

Does practically nothing. Love their other products, but this must have come out of another department.

Junk, glitchy, does not work

BitdefenderParentalControl won’t even let me get to the part where you sign in. Iphone11

My parents downloaded this to my phone and laptop. Now it has crippled both. I can only call, text or look at photos on
My phone. I can’t use iTunes, FaceTime, any apps, or safari. The only website I can use on my laptop is YouTube. We are trying to take it off but it won’t let us, after we deleted my profile. Standard apple restrictions are fine. Do not use this.

I just purchased a bit defender box 2 and proceeded to install BitdefenderParentalControl which is required for parental controls. I also installed BitdefenderParentalControl on 2 android devices. BitdefenderParentalControl will not finish installing. It fails to install in the 6th step with a whoops message. Whenever it does install it fails to block any contact. Support is through some horrible offshore third party. They hung up on me twice! I am pretty tech savvy as I have many years of experience as a Cyber Security Engineer. The box 2 is going back to amazon and all versions of this junk software will be uninstalled.
