There is no way to unlock a device or give extra time without someone making a request from that device - Unbelievable. Does anyone even test this app, or think about how it should work?? Also, I don't need the same irrelevant message about Xbox popping up and taking most of the screen area every.single.time. I open the app for over a year. It's annoying that "LOCK DEVICE" is partially obscured, and that it is a multi-step process. Seriously, think about usability & design at least a little bit!

Is there anything Microslop does now that works correctly? The app constantly refreshes and loads nothing. When I try adding money to my kids' account, it times out and just loads the same screen again. Notifications don't load, and when they do, adding time doesn't work 🤦🏻. I can't stand Microsoft for many reasons and can't wait for an alternative.

I like it being able to control what my kiddos see. Especially since they are homeschooled and like to wonder around the Internet when they aren't supposed to.

This is an amazing app that allows you to set a schedule for your child. you can keep turn the computer off at any time. This allows you as the parent's control of purchases on the computer too. You determine the amount of time your child can have. It also sends warnings and they can ask for more time and you can give it without changing the daily schedule. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars!

Update Aug 26: We're back! Couple of weeks ago I recieved an email to say a big update had been rolled out that fixes a lot of issues. The app now works as it did before 🥳 Update Dec 25: Still doesn't work. Sent logs as requested and heard nothing. Just got the 'Its not you, its us' error screen now. Used to work really well, now is slow and crashes when doing certain things like adding a website to an allow list. Please fix!

Better Than Google's Family Link. It gives more granular controls over websites, etc. You can also get a weekly report of your children's usage. FamilyLink doesn't make that easy.
