Worked perfectly for what I need at the moment                 Awesome
Wonderful app to help me safeguard my children when using the Internet We are well pleased                 Great App
Too bad so many of these reviews are by kids trying to get around the browser restrictions This is the best option by far for parents wanting to keep their kids away from porn phishing and other possibly dangerous sites It is SO easy to have it learn or add safe sites and I have two teenagers who have rarely asked for specific sites to be unblocked and they are both using it constantly No its not effortless but when has parenting been effortless You cant do better than this app trust me Ive tried                 Poor reviewers
Installed this on my sons iTouch after we found him browsing for porn App works using their browser but not with Safari Since you cant hide or remove Safari then it doesnt really solve the issue        Worthless unless you use their browser
This app is such a stress reliever Pornography is a very dangerous for everyone and can cause damage to individuals and families This app really solved this issue Really gave me peace of mind This app is restrictive to where you set it and it can be set to allow images on google It is very user friendly Thank you for this very useful app should of came with Safari                 At last Security
My 9 year old wants and deserves some freedoms some opportunities to learn and grow and make mistakes The Internet though is NOT the forum for that Kids can not UNsee things and they arent equipped to process everything at once at these young ages McGruff Safeguard is the answer to all my wish list for protecting my kids I now have a lot more confidence as my 5 and 3 year old get older and more curious to explore The 99cent upgrade was totally worth it and I can customize the program in SO many wayseven more ways than I even need Ill probably use moredifferent features eventually but for now I couldnt be happier Ive told all my friends about it and our kids are realizing that protected freedoms actually give them MORE freedom instead of having me watch over their shoulder all the time Excellent program THANK YOU                 a PARENTS peace of mind
My 13 year old needed some boundaries on his web surfing habits We tried safeguard and loved it Upgraded to Gold so I can get daily email reports and it works great too Now Ive installed it and personalized the restrictions for my 10 year olds iPod too mostly for limiting timeofday use Now Im going to put it on my 6 year olds iPod Easy to set up works great so far had it about a month              Great on three devices
This app is a decent app that does what it is supposed to do I like that you can in the paid version turn off the safeguard so that you can go wherever while still leaving the activity reporting on This helps for accountability yet it doesnt mean you are like a five yearold who cannot go anywhere or do anything I gave this app four stars instead of five because there are some bugs in the app that can be annoying sometimes For example 1 The app will sometimes crash and close all browser tabs you had open 2 Adding bookmarks can be frustrating They either wont save to the bookmarks section it will only save the last tab opened to bookmarks or you cannot edit and save the bookmark 3 If you have multiple tabs open you can only go back to a previous page or forward on the last tab If you have three tabs open and you are using tab or page number two if you click the back button in the lower left corner of the browser the third tab page will go back rather than the page open I hope that was helpful and clear If these issues were fixed this browser would work much better This browser works a lot like Mobicip and other safe browsers However this one allows you to turn off safe browsing and keep the activity reporting on again only in the paid version This app is also a good price compared to Mobicip because its a onetime fee rather than a once a year fee              Good app Does the job
I HATE this app It is so hard to use     HATE
Its all good until you try to change settingd then you have to upgrade meaning PAY for a gold version to actually adjust settings Total BS Plus it blocks decent sites abs displays others you want blocked I dont see my review when i go through reviewshmmm        Another ploy for money
I highly recommend get this app and monitoring your kids internet usage There is a LOT of garbage out there and this app helps protect them from it              Protect your kids
This is one of the best familyfriendly filters available and I believe I have investigated them allespecially if you get the low cost upgrade It can then be customized so the parent can allow access to certain users to images or dictionaries etc if the parent feels the user can truly handle the information on some of those sites The only thing I could wish for is the ability to block objectionable websites without needing to enter ones password first as is the case with some of the costlier filtersowners of iPhones and iPads are indeed lucky to have such a quality product for our use                 Great browser
Just let uploaded this for my son Web browser does not have loading bar or auto fill Very outdated looking like iOS 4 Safari Wondering if there are any updates           Not sure
Has some pluses but if the child is frustrated by the constant crashing what good is it Deleted        crash Crash CRASH C R A S H
Most websites are blocked but it allows you to clear them quickly So far best filtering out there                 Very good
Great app By far best filtering app available I tried them all and this is the best Thank you so much                 5 star
I have had been thinking I need an anti mcgruff thing global action against mcgruff Im thinking about an app where you can go anti mcgruff but at de same you can hack the app lock parents out so kids can Rome you might have read my ferst comit so I thought we should let kids Rome we nead something without all sites blocked I wish you could not block Safari I mean this like so exaggerated this is like that story about JJ he was thinking I want to wear diapers do that what Ill do step little wettings 2 wear a good night diaper wet it in the day 3 go to the doctor exzam wet pants complete thing ended he had finely got in to exzam and he thought if his mother wanted to wear these diaper pant he should wet them so he let a stream in to his good night so after the axzam he got put in to a luvs size 7 he liked wearing diapers he was traded like a baby and acted like one Morel of the story is you should not intentionally do things that are stupid and no I did not get this off of playboy and all I know is it exists no more no less he was repotty trained Oh tell your kid the JJ thing ok but dont tell your child the ferst comint                 Angry kid 2 to parents contains bad language
I cannot imagine giving a child an internet device without some sort of protection This app is great Best app compared to the others I have tried I bought full access completely worth it happy to support the developers Kids seem happy too Customer service was great when I contacted them                 happy customer
Way easy to add sites to allow or change categories Sends me a report every night Much better than those 10 or 20 browsers that dont work                 Great to keep my 11 yearold safe
Apple should include this software as a courtesy to parents and children It is far better than the apple parental controls Mcgruff is an Excellent app of course it restricts some apparently safe sites but It is easy to add to allow list My 12 year old has not complained yet about it being restrictive Happy customer                 Must have
This is the only browser installed on our 9yearold sons ipad It blocks more than necessary which is great in my opinion I get daily emails letting me know if he is trying to visit blocked websites A great assistant when trying to keep kids safe on the Internet                 Great safe browser
Bought this app and upgraded to the gold version My 14 year says he wont look for porn Yeah right Checking his Christmas Day browsing habits brought up a search for naked girls He was blocked by the browser and grounded by me Great app Does exactly what I need it to do                 Busted
We purchased this software to help keep our daughter off of sites containing questionable material And it does what we wanted Can even add approved sites so that if there is one that is blocked and we are fine with it we can give her access                 Great program
My 12 year old son has this browser for his iPhone and I have been very pleased with it I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a browser that kids can use safely                 Excellent app
I have paid to upgrade because I love the promise but the report feature never works I cannot see what pages my kids are visiting or the search terms they are typing Have asked for refund     Doesnt work
I recently added this app to my 10rs old girl to her phone because I noticed she and a little friend had search on images of nude boys so now with this app it has prevented her and her friends from being too curious and eventually see sites that are not appropriate This app has many features which are great since parents have the option to customize even time how long can use but some features like timing must be purchase Overall excellent the only issue my daughter has and even I is that it doesnt have an image tab so if she searches for homework pictures she must open page by page to find an image she can print and use              Mom of a 10 yr old
You canBlock YOUTUBE No access to YouTube pornographic material questionable material violence horroryou can block just about ANYTHING Suggestive searchesOUT Pornographic adsOut YouTubeOUT specific sitesOUT You can customize it to fit your needsand yesyou can limit time spent on the web The kids are learning about adult things way too early and in the worst way possible I was so fed up with the web I restricted all access to it Curiosity is fine and encouraged but very dangerous if not guided and monitored I can rest easy knowing she is a bit safer THANK YOU FOR THIS PROGRAM                 TELL THE SCHOOLS
Dangers of the Internet are very real Once a child is exploited by predators or sees and hears explicit violent or provocative materials you can never wipe it from their memory or turn back time Because if this my husband explored several apps to restrict our childrens Internet usage access In the end McGruff Safeguard provided all the tools we were looking for and it provides these services exceptionally well for my 9 and 7 yr old boys Admittedly we only installed the app on their iPads We keep our laptop password protected and it is only for us parents this prevents us from having to change the app settings for our usage and eliminates any frustrations created by limitations set by the app                 Great App for protecting your children
It hardly lets me do anything Remove from purchased list please        Remove from purchased list
Best app I can find                 Mom of two
Terrible as you can not set schedules or block without paying for an upgrade False advertising     Terrible as it says free but you cant do things without paying
dont waste your time with this one folks unless you upgrade it is completely and totally useless and blocks NOTHING if I could give it zero stars I would     dont waste your time
I like the app a lot no issues at all              Like it
Weve had this app for a few weeks now and its been good with the exception of YouTube YouTube is great for some things and awful for others The safe mode for YouTube on this app does not work because YouTube has changed its settings according to a rep of McGruff I would like my children to be able to use YouTube for appropriate videos but it is too easy for them to locate pornography and watch Just beware           Happy but
I use McGruff on 2 iPhones an iPad and a home PC This app has been a life saver My daughter accidentally came across some pornographic text very explicit stories on a fan fiction site and quickly became addicted We tried many products including K9 but none would block pornographic text only images K9 would not even reclassify the website upon request They called it art but I could only block that entire category which I didnt want to do K9 also allows sites that say right on their descriptions adult content McGruff has been awesome It is customizable and even allows for global white pages so I dont have to keep her from age appropriate sites in order to block the necessary ones I love it Also the tech support is very responsive and helpful I would recommend it for anyone and everyone                 McGruff beats them all
A good alternative to the installed browser on the ipad Disable the installed browser and set up the filters with McGruff and your kids will be protected from visiting prohibited websites Also has a good parental webbased dashboard              Good App for Filtering
Im an 11 year old boy who has this My mom took off safari of my ipod touch and i was pretty upset My parents gave me the privilege to download and delete apps and i thought about getting the google app But then i understood that they were trying to protect me from adult sights like playboy I kept the app and im pretty happy with it I like my ipod touch and i want the best for me and my parents do to Im sure the makers of this great app do to or they wouldnt have made it If you are a parent reading this please get this for your child                 Its a good browser
A great app that will help protect your child from unfettered access to the Internet              Very useful for parents
Great App              McGuffey Safeguard
I searched naked girls to test it out in K9 and it worked You guys need to fix that    
Try to allow cookingart or make any changes to the check list of thing you approve of then you must upgrade Shame on your greed mcgruff As someone who whore that nasty smelly costume and DAREd to keep kids off drug when I was in high school your garbage     Just boo
I got the paid 99 cent upgrade and it works great I have it installed on two iPhones and use it several times a day with no issues You do have to do an initial setup and configure it but its very user friendly I love the feature that allows me to add sites individually if I choose to or block certain ones I did try other similar apps but like this one the best I tried two other apps and they were very difficult to set up and the blocking was too restricted Thank you for making this app It certainly gives me more peace of mind to have my daughter access the Internet on her phone                 Absolutely love it Works very well
Dont be fooled by the one star ratings Im sure those are kids upset their parents have restricted their access to bad stuff This is an EXCELLENT app And does a great job helping me a parent protect my kids from the filth that is out there but still allowing my kids to use the internet for school work and other positive things And better they are constantly working to improve the functionally of the app Keep up the great work McGruff                 Outstanding
This has been the best thing that has happened for our family I had a problem with my kids looking at porn so found this browser in order to delete safari Safari currently can not be restricted At first I chose the security for their appropriate she category but this was too restricted After going to the custom section of the set up I was able to choose the categories that were safe for my kids so expanded their searching ability and still protected them against visiting porn relates website This is a must or all families                 Safe for kids
If you read the description above it specifically tells you how to disable Safari make this your browser I have had the same issue as some others a curious tween I was thrilled to find this app have no problem paying for the upgrade Parents have no problem handing their kids a 250 iPod touch or a 700 iPad but will complain about a few dollars to make the device age appropriate Shame on you                 To the person who said you cant block Safari
We spent 20 on the app We had a password then the McGruff people changed it to some crazy one We changed it again Now we still cant get in I have sent several emails to this company in regards to not being able to open the app on our childs ipod and no response Requested money back No response So if you want an app that you cant get access to I guess this is it We are unsatisfied customers        Not happy
It is definitely worth it to buy the paid version of this app That way you can control exactly what gets blocked and what doesnt even down to individual websites Not every dangerous or inappropriate website is neatly categorized So you may need to do some manual blocking For example the app has a setting that allows only safe YouTube videos but it does not have the same feature for Vimeo or other videosharing websites So I went and blocked those as well                 Great Filtering App
Happy so far              Just got started
This app works great for my family My kids do get frustrated when searching for certain things but Id rather be safe then sorry              Great
Really understand for kid friendly but for people in school terrible     Cant do anything
