To test it out before installing it on the iPod my children share, I went to YouTube within the app and performed a search that clearly had mature content in it.
I just love this app, it is the best browser filter for kids. I recommend this app to all the parents that want their kids safe.
For the record, it never blocks ads. Dolphin Ad Blocker is the only web browsing app that blocks ads, especially ads with full frontal nudity on some websites. Why can't this do the same? All web browsers for kids need ad blocks like Dolphin. If you have iPad Mini 1, the upgrade is a waste of money.
Got this app when I forgot my parental password and my son wants Safire back, but when I unblocked google, it says "access restricted" then I realize this app uses the Safire engine, I would want a different engine because my son's laptop is slow and heavy, and he would like a web browser so I can carry something less heavy.
To all parents: this app needs work. Nice effort, however two major issues. First, it doesn't block google search for any adult images, which means it might as well be rated 17+ and second is that there hasn't been an update since 2014 for this app, which means they may have left this product fall by the wayside. This could be a great app if they fix the image search or change the 4+ rating to a 17+
