Quite literally the most annoying thing I've ever seen. As a kid myself, it's just a battery drainer at this point. And my parent has TWO OF THESE (This and Family Link) on me, so this is just a waste of storage, data, and battery. Please choose Family Link over this garbage of a child safety app if you're gonna try to monitor your kid.
