MMGuardian Parental Control Reviews

I don’t have MMGuardianParentalControl on my phone anymore, but please if you’re thinking about getting MMGuardianParentalControl I beg you please don’t. I am 15 and all this has done between my parents and I is make our relationship worse. They say it’s “child safety.” But I can assure you that your child will feel micro managed, and most likely get depression. Because I know I gained a lot of depression and anxiety over MMGuardianParentalControl. I felt like at any second I could get in trouble for anything even if it was something I knew I couldn’t get in trouble for. MMGuardianParentalControl ruined my relationship with my parents. And for gods sakes if your child is 14 and older you need to stop being on top of them all the time abt everything. We are getting older and we make mistakes. But you can’t expect your child to learn from their mistakes if you don’t let them figure it own on their own. MMGuardianParentalControl caused me so much trauma, do not get it.

I used to have MMGuardianParentalControl on my phone and I absolutely HATED it. It caused me to become sneaky and secretive. Now that I’m older I realize that my parents were only doing it to protect me because they care about me and love me, that is one of the only reasons why parents install MMGuardianParentalControl on kids phones. MMGuardianParentalControl does its job for the most part but back when it was installed on my phone I found many ways to get around it. This includes clicking on links that take me to a website that should be blocked and from there I could search whatever I wanted, and with the mmg messaging I was able to text people I shouldn’t even though my parents didn’t want me too. I am writing this review because I want other parents to know that MMGuardianParentalControl works and that all the one star reviews are from kids who don’t like MMGuardianParentalControl ( like me when I had it on my phone). Just make sure you explain to your kids that it’s only there to protect them and keep them safe. THANK YOU MMG FOR KEEPING ME SAFE 💚💚💚

I can’t believe how someone could do this. It drives wedges in your family. It starts problems. If your not harming yourself or anyone else why do your parents put this on your phone? It is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard of. It causes your kids to be sneaky and it makes them not want to talk to you about their lives and their problems. It just makes you shut down, stop talking to friends, worry and be stressed all the time, and be insecure. DONT DO THIS TO YOUR KIDS! Try to talk to them and show them the dangers before you go to just blocking them 100% it hurts them and they will hate you for it. They will feel bad Bc they aren’t like there friends that don’t have weird parents that don’t trust their kids. DO NOT PUT THIS ON YOUR CHILDS PHONE, TALK TO YOUR KIDS AND BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM!! IT WILL HELP!

My mom put this on my phone not telling me why or what it was. I didn’t do anything untrustworthy and I don’t even know what she can do with it. Honestly it hurts my feelings that someone wouldn’t trust me enough to feel they had to put this on my phone. Privacy is a rough subject between parents and children. Just for the developers of MMGuardianParentalControl could you maybe include a warning to parents to explain what they are doing to their children cause that’s encouraging them to be sneaky. Not hating on MMGuardianParentalControl just uncomfortable. I know this is for safety and will appreciate it someday but she already doesn’t let me surf the web, have any social media, or download anything without her permission. What does overprotecting your child actually going to help them with, besides not preparing them. Just curious,

Nearly every complaint is from the children. Which must mean it works. They’re not even smart enough to write a bad review from a parents perspective. All their reviews make me WANT to install MMGuardianParentalControl. They complain how this will ruin your relationship with them and cause them to be sneaky and how they have no privacy. Sounds a lot like my spoiled lying, bratty, lazy entitled child of my own who doesn’t even have his phone yet and we already have a ruined relationship where I don’t trust him. Here’s an idea children: you want this removed from your phone? Earn it. You ever learn that word in school? Earn. It’s a fundamental requirement of life.

I’ve read the bad reviews. Majority of them are from ticked off teens who feel entitled and don’t consider that their parents are trying to protect them. Talked with my kid about MMGuardianParentalControl when we gave him his phone. We explained why it would be in there I also explained that things can’t be unseen or unheard. It’s my job to protect him things for as long as I can so that when he’s out on his own he can make safe, healthy choices. Accountability isn’t taking your child’s privacy. It’s helping them understand that they aren’t alone in the world to make decisions alone or deal with consequences alone.

MMGuardianParentalControl made me anxious. If I would search up a simple question, nothing bad it would pop up the warning and alert my mom. I would always get in trouble for searching help with school or simple random questions. MMGuardianParentalControl made my phone very slow and after it was installed I just became more closed off. MMGuardianParentalControl dose nothing but tear relationships apart. I have read the reviews and the feedback from the company. They can say it’s all for out protection. But if parents would just communicate about internet safety this would not be needed. MMGuardianParentalControl did nothing to benefit me or my life at all even after it was removed. Do not get MMGuardianParentalControl if you care about you and your child’s relationship.

overall, it’s a great app. when i was younger i HATED MMGuardianParentalControl , but i got over it. now, i realise that my mother just wanted to protect me.
BUT. i have a few issues with MMGuardianParentalControl on IOS. on IOS the screen lock doesn't lock down your apps, it basically deletes all of them and re-installs them. this is very inconvenient because it deletes all widgets made by apps and throws apps out of their folders. it is annoying to have your apps thrown out of your neatly organised folders every day, and i would suggest that the apps are still shown, yet can’t be used (if that is possible).

To who ever reads this u don’t want this on ur phone it will ruin relationships with ur mom or dad it is a problem causing app it a disaster waiting to happen it can make a good day go bad because sum retards wanna make sum money and ruin relationships with parents if ur parents don’t trust u than no reason to have a phone y rely on an app that has a 1.6 rating that all its good for is wasting money and ruining relationships!!!!!! Just y do u wanna create an app that would lay a negative effect on u and ur parents just if u read this plz don’t download MMGuardianParentalControl I don’t want to have sum body I don’t even now have a big problem with their parents so just plz listen to what I am writing and just save a problem while u r ahead and not waste ur money......

Parents download MMGuardianParentalControl as a way to try and control their children or “keep them safe,” but all it’s doing is causing the child to be sneakier when doing normal things in fear of getting in trouble. Children need to make mistakes in order to grow and MMGuardianParentalControl prevents that. It helps helicopter parents control their children, strips away all forms of privacy, ruins the trust between the parent and child, prevents them from having any learning experiences, and ruins any form of childhood. If you are a parent and are considering getting MMGuardianParentalControl, or any app like this one, I’m sure your child would love it if you just spoke to them with an open mind and set boundaries and rules together.

MMGuardianParentalControl is good because it allows parents to keep their kids on track by setting bedtimes and blocking bad apps. I’m 14, and it’s a good app. I could see how another kid may not like this, but I have to admit that social media is a distraction to many. MMGuardianParentalControl helps. My parents didn’t do anything with my phone, and they don’t even care if I do anything inappropriate. They just don’t want me to do anything that may get me kidnapped. Thinking from a parents perspective, this is a good app.

I no longer had MMGuardianParentalControl on my phone but I used to. MMGuardianParentalControl WILL make everyone who uses it lose trust. It often blocks things that aren’t supposed to be blocked which ends up breaking a lot of websites and critical functionality a phone should have. MMGuardianParentalControl also miscalculates location data so people will look like they are somewhere they aren’t and parents aren’t likely to believe something when their app says something else even if MMGuardianParentalControl is wrong. Lucky for me my dad knows how tech can mess up but this was only after a phone call where my mom yelled at me for lying and didn’t believe me until my dad talked to her. My family had more trust between persons before MMGuardianParentalControl.

no, plz take this off MMGuardianParentalControl store. it is terrible app and will ruin our relationship. there’s some things i don’t won’t my mom to know ok?? my mom is just being freaking nosey bc of your app? and no i’m not doing anything bad. if i accidentally did i’m going to click out right away.!!! yes i believe that you need to give your freedom not be on there butts about everything. and i honestly don’t know why anyone would need MMGuardianParentalControl. MMGuardianParentalControl will make your kids want to do more bad things but more sneakily!!!! and tbh i don’t what your trying to hide from them. i just left 5th grade and people watched porn on the laptops 😂😂😂 so no plz delete this

I know you probably think it’s for your kids safety but all it’s going to do is teach your child how to be sneaky trust me I know. I’m a 16 year old and had a phone monitoring app on my phone and I learned how to get around it. If you want to keep your kid safe talk to them and actually listen. If you give your child space and freedom they are not going to rebel they are actually going to be more responsible because they don’t think they have to sneak around all the time. So basically if you don’t want to mess up your relationship with your kid don’t get MMGuardianParentalControl.

I recently bought my son a new iPhone. Downloaded MMGuardianParentalControl so that I could monitor his browsing history (he’s been known to look at inappropriate things before). None of the “blocks” worked. I was able to access a porn website without being stopped and then never received the notification on my parent app that it happened. The one block that “did” work blocked me on my phone! And then when I got it “fixed” I found that a majority of my apps had been deleted, rearranged, and some of my settings were completely erased. Heed my warning. DO NOT PICK THIS PARENTAL CONTROL APP.

I just found out my dad put this on my phone due to my sister reading MMGuardianParentalControl reviews I did not know this was on my phone until this morning I already have cameras everywhere in my home I’m not allowed to download anything regular teenagers have I’m not allowed to hang around my friends or family and I do nothing but clean and do school work my phone is the only fun and privacy I have I’ve never been a sneaky child until they started doing all of this it’s really annoying and I don’t wanna sneak around my parents but bro wth

If you’re a parent looking for an app to keep your child “safe” I get that, but completely invading their private space will ruin your relationship. I didn’t talk to my mom for months and lied to her about where or what I was doing. She then said she trusted me an deleted it an now we’re growing our bond back, just talk to your kid about trust and boundary’s. If they want to go somewhere or they did something let them know you want be mad as long as they’re honest. Trust me you’ll have a WAY better relationship with your kids.

Parents or guardians or anyone at all should not download MMGuardianParentalControl for their child. It loses all trust with each other and the child will find ways to sneak ways behind their parents. It changes their whole relationship and I mean it ruins the relationship. I know you think it helps your child but if you want to be a good parent, do not download MMGuardianParentalControl. You can still be an amazing parent and you can have a perfect relationship with your child that includes trust, freedom, respect, and lots of more good things with your child.

My mom got it for my phone, I didn’t even know about it at first, and it honestly makes me feel like she doesn’t trust me. I already have trust issues so whenever this happened I lost almost all of my trust in my mom. I have done nothing wrong to make her think that this needs to happen, but she thinks that I just need to be monitored. SHE CAN READ MY TEXTS IF SHE WANTS, those are private conversations I have with my friends and I can’t be sure if they are private anymore. It’s like I have no privacy and no private life anymore.

This is a terrible app. My mom downloaded to keep me safe but there are things I’m not yet comfortable with her knowing, kids need their privacy!!!!! Parents could easily just walk up to their kids and check their phone right then and there but having an app for it???? That’s just stalking activity right there. Please remove this from MMGuardianParentalControl Store, it is ruining lots of children’s lives and is causing them to become really sneaky and have unhealthy relationships with their parents

PARENTS IF YOU DONT TRUST UR KID DONT GIVE THEM A PHONE OR IPAD us kids hate MMGuardianParentalControl it frustrate us kids need to make a mistake to become better in life y’all parents are making us suffer it’s annoying LET US LIVE OUR LIVES y’all said y’all want us happy then WHY ARE YALL BEHIND OUT BACKS 24/7 I get it y’all want us to be safe ok but WHY MMGuardianParentalControl if you don’t trust us then don’t give us a PHONE OR IPAD all the parents are downloading this stupid app like NO let us make a mistake and learn YALL ARE PRO VENTING IT TO HAPPEN WE CANT EVEN HAVE FUN please delete MMGuardianParentalControl from the Apple store

MMGuardianParentalControl has been put on me and all of my siblings phones for years and all it has done is cause I problems. It has caused us to become sneaky and learn to hide things. We have no privacy and it only benefits the controller. I will admit it is doing what it is supposed to do but it causes so many other problems. If there was a way to have a little more privacy MMGuardianParentalControl would be so much better for both parties.

Hey, what can I say, I’m 16, and monitored heavily with this trash. I barely use my phone now. Because of this, sometimes I just don’t even pick up calls anymore. It has rendered my phone useless. I CAN’T EVEN ACESS FREAKING MINECRAFT. This is the worst app and, tip for parents, just use screen time, which is built into the iPhone anyways, and also, the fact that they are making you pay for this trash is unbelievable.

Don’t pay those other reviews no mind it was most likely written by kids having to deal with being monitored by their parents. I simply love MMGuardianParentalControl because it does what it is advertised to do!

MMGuardianParentalControl has ruined the relationship between my parents and I. Ever since my mother has downloaded MMGuardianParentalControl it has been non stop arguing and bickering back and forth. Then when MMGuardianParentalControl doesn’t work in her favor she takes my phone away until it works again. Please take this as a warning and do not put yourself in the situation to ruin your beloved relationship with your child.
