No functionality offline – Parental Control App - Kidslox Review

So I downloaded this app after a round of tablet removal from both of my younger kids. They just can’t judge the amount of time being spent watching mindless crap, and our daughter was starting to pick up jargon and foul language from videos that I couldn’t figure out how to block. I previously had a timer on the devices that shut them down after a specified amount of time, and for bedtime. However, the app was no longer available when I went to re-install. This was the next best thing with even more features, so I downloaded it and installed on our devices. So far so good; the videos our daughter was watching seemed to vanish from YouTube; I set quiet hours and restricted use to an hour each day. Easy peasy. Until we had to go for a car ride to meet my mother, and I knew her time limit was nearly up. At the end of the car ride, she was still playing. I looked at the timer on my phone and it hadn’t moved since we left the house. For this app to work for me, it needs to be functional offline as well as online. Obviously the content blocker doesn’t need to work because she has no access to the web when not on WiFi or cellular data, but I still need the timers and schedules to work. Our other tablet has data privileges and I expect it to work all the time, but we were considering moving that one to WiFi only as well. If this can be fixed, or is something that I did incorrectly, please let me know. Once that is added this is the holy grail of device management, outside of good old fashioned take-them-away.
