App diminishes device power over family
GoodLife71
Our 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.
I hate this app!!!!

The installation process is impossible! We have now paid for premium service for 5 months while the company refuses to troubleshoot problems. They will email back with a useless message. I have demanded a refund I am sure to never receive. This company is not even a legitimate business as far as I can tell. After having company reach out to try to walk me through the rest of this setup yet again there is a problem. My Mac cannot “pair” with this app. It is straight up robbery to ask people to subscribe to their premium service when there is no support available and I would be shocked to learn anyone could get it working as promised.
Fantastic but with 1 Hiccup

I have a hard time keeping focus on things that are important. But with this app, I’m able to prioritize things a lot better for myself. The only issue I have is the premium setup. It’s not intuitive at all. There are too many steps to get it installed to a phone. Ideal state would just to install a separate software in addition to what’s on here so that way it’s just a 2 step process, not a 6-10 step. Other than that though, it’s fantastic!
Bugs Unless You Pay

Changed all the locations of my daughter's iphone and unpacked then from all folders upon unblocking. Spoke to customer service and they have the fix but only make it available if you pay them. I have never ever heard of such a thing in any app I have ever used.
Great Tool for Parents

This is a great app, but my son found an easy step to avoid the game block function. I hope your company can reach out to me, so I can share with it privately and fix it.
Long time owner-not happy!!

I've had this app for my daughter for over 2 years now. When she didn't have access to a smart phone, we obviously didn't need it. I recently re-downloaded this app and was very disappointed to find out that all the great features I'd recently been able to use, are now only allowed to be used if I upgrade, paying $6.99 a month! (Btw, in the description here for the app, it says it's only $4.99... Wth?) This app is basically useless without these features, and I don't feel that I should have to spend money to get them back! I can block access to her phone and set schedules, but to actually keep her SAFE, I must PAY?! Seriously thinking of deleting now. It's a shame since this app is the best one out there, but obviously they don't value loyalty or children's safety unless you can afford to pay a monthly fee. **Response to Developer** I had this app before you had to pay for any of its features. There are many more features now than before, and I do understand needing to pay for all of the work that's put into keeping this app functioning at its best. I do not feel that I should have to pay $6.99 tho, just because I never paid for the premium service. The fact that I owned this app at its beginning should reflect my support and value in it. I do recognize that this app is one of the best out there, it's why I got it years ago. I've noticed the amount of money required by other apps and this one is far more reasonable, not only in price, but for what is received with that price. Again, I just don't feel it's fair to have to pay the $6.99 when I received abilities that are now considered premium , for free! I'd happily pay the $4.99 to upgrade to premium, for features that I received free in the beginning, and for the amazing upgrades made since.
Love and Hate

I wanted to love this app. I loved everything about it until I tried to upgrade to limit their time on their iPads. After 2 hours of trying over and over to link the accounts I’ve given up.
