Thank you and I most definitely appreciate the development of an app like this while having a 12 year old daughter who loves social media and her phone more than anything.
Geez I think my parents had it easy! I hate to say it, but this app gives parents a false sense of security and makes them look stupid. I was able to circumvent the app very easily. Any child who wanted to evade text message logging could easily prevent this app from capturing the texts.
Also on iOS if you cannot block texting then what is the point? Support confined that the app only blocks 3rd party apps and not native iOS apps. Let that sink in! Lastly when I went to cancel the subscription on day two after being extremely disappointed, I found that instead of being ready to charge me for three months worth of usage it was going to charge me the full yearly subscription amount.
It feels like a scam. I am a developer by trade. I followed the installation instructions and it went smoothly. I was testing the app the next morning after the install due to the waiting period described by others. That part would have been acceptable if the app had worked as described. Sorry you found the app confusing. SaferKid exists primarily to protect children from rape. There are rare edge cases where a child can delete a text and it MIGHT not appear in the service, but, if you actually study the cases where children have been victimized and we, sadly, have studied THOUSANDS of them , what you're talking about is not an issue.
What actually happens is that adults meet children in real life and attempt to build a relationship with them over time. This now happens over text, outside the view of parents. We can appreciate that you didn't have this data, and we'll try to do a better job of making it clear that this is the case for parents in the future.
Also, for what it's worth, the real risk of kids being victimized by strangers they meet on apps is when children get apps that look safe but aren't. SaferKid has our own risk rating based on our research into child rape, sexual assault, bullying and a lot of other developmental issues , and then the app alerts you and explains why the app is resulting in children getting sexually victimized even though you wouldn't know it from looking at it.
We are working on a joint settlement custody agreement and no one is seeking an advantage now. The agreement is nearly ready to submit to court. While we have not said it aloud, I mused that if things go this well should we even divorce?
