Valid concerns. The biggest challenge with any parental control app is the workaround factor. Kids are clever! If an app is too clunky or obvious, they’ll find a bypass.
I’ve found that alert fatigue is a real issue. You want meaningful notifications, not a constant stream.
Pro tip: I switched to Parentaler because its keyword alert system is top-notch. You get notified about specific, concerning terms in texts or searches, which cuts down on noise. Its stealth mode also makes it less obvious, reducing the temptation for kids to tamper with it. The web filtering is solid and updates quickly.
