Kids Zone - Parental Controls

Alex P

Not working on a Blackview Tab 9 on android 10. I have Had it work on other devices, so I know it can be good, but it is totally failing to block anything on this device. Doesn't take me back to the kids zone when I press home or back, or when rebooting, and despite a small popup telling me it is blocking disallowed apps, nothing actually happens and the blocked app works just fine. Once in a while I see the full screen graphic "taking you back to the kids zone" but it goes to the home page.

It still works. They haven't updated the app since 2018, so none of android's new security features have been accounted for. Go to Settings/Apps and press the three dots in the top right corner. Select "Special Access". Select "Draw over other apps" (or "Appear on top") and grant that permission to Kids Zone. It will start blocking everything again. The developer needs to update the app so that it requests the correct permissions. Hope this helps!

Update: for whatever reason the app is not stopping my son from going into other apps, settings, downloading apps, etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no joy. Very frustrating, especially since I paid for the full version. 2018: I really like this app. It works great for my son. The only issue I've had with it is when I upgraded to the full version the app freaked out and locked everything.

Great app, does what it says. I initially had issues getting pro version working on two devices, the second device didn't recognize that I owned it but if I try to upgrade it would tell me I already own the license... finally I emailed support (on Xmas eve) and got answered immediately! Seems like a glitch regarding play store, after several attempts to fix it I finally launched it from the the play store instead of the home screen and then it finally recognized the license.

kids Zone does exactly what I want and need. It allows my grandbaby (20mths. old) to play on fun childrens apps without being able to access other apps, phone contacts, etc. that are on my phone. She can have up to 8 apps, more if you choose the Pro option, and theres an option to make additional profiles for other children. Easy for her to navigate and pick and choose. Once I lock it to Kids Zone I dont have to worry about her answering an important call or text as shes playing. Love it!

Almost perfect, my daughter's tablet has a camera and she is unable to view videos she takes because 'Video Player' is not an a available app so she gets kicked out any time she tries to watch a video from the gallery. other than that it has been good for what I need, but so far no workaround for this issue.

Loved it and purchased the Pro. It easy to managed specially it has pause button in case my kids need to do something in between and continue with the timer without resetting it. Only issue I have is that it doesn't have toggle to enable to add to Family Library as this is better than adding my account to the system leaving it open for someone to mess around my account. Fix this then I can make it 5 stars. - Thanks.

This app does not work on my Samsung S10. My child can get into all of my other apps, download from the Play Store, etc. even when I've locked this app. The timer function also doesn't work. He can simply get out of it and still access all his games. I used to use this on my S7, and it worked perfectly. It's unfortunate that it doesn't work on my newer phone.

The app continues to close down any app my kid are using and go back to the Kids Zone home page without good cause at various times (seconds to minutes after opening an app it go to the homepage) . I've checked into the app settings and the settings on my phone, but this recurring issue has become too annoying for my kids and me, so if this issue can't be resolved or advise me on how to fix it if it's on my part to do...then I'll have to find a more reliable Kids app.

I tried a few different apps like this and hands down this is the best one there is. The o ly one my daughter has not figured out how to get out of. (3 years old) keeps her on the specific apps I choose for her and redirects back to them no matter what. They can't even turn the wifi on or off or even adjust screen brightness.
