I am a bitdefender user. I paid for the annual subscription. I thought your parental app would be better than google family link. I was wrong. 1. It can be uninstalled easily 2. It can be deactivated by turning off accessibility and using battery optimizer to not run it in the background. 3. It doesnt work - i tried setting it up on 2 gadgets. Both screentime and daily usage feature did not work. Even the locate feature doesnt work. I tried this on android phones running on android 8 and 9.

There's a reason this app has such a low score. It is appalingly bad at what it's meant to do. I've had it for years now but it's never worked properly. I've spent countless hours with the customer service team trying to fix the many issues, without success. An app that's been broken for years but still doesn't work after thousands of people point it out, isn't worth your time or money. The recent "update" made things even worse. This app is an afterthought and absolutely useless.
