I have it installed on my iPhone for the past like a year I love it
Pros
It blocks skin
It filters YouTube
Real time filter
They don’t save your searches

Cons
Sometimes it blocks content that I wouldn’t necessarily consider inappropriate but generally if it’s generally appropriate it will allow through another link and you could always request approval when you get the pop up message and they respond pretty quickly

I’m extremely happy with it coming from no filter

I also have it for 2 years and very happy with it.
But filters YouTube? I can watch whatever I want or don't want...

So call them and tell them they are five levels filtering for YouTube

can you tell me more? I was going to get it based on first 2 posters.

I want a filter that isn't too annoying. I've never had a filter on my phone but I think its important to have one I just never got around to it.

I set up mine through TAG in lkwd. I told him I wanted most lenient filtering for YouTube and full access to Twitter and Instagram. Also you can call them as many times as you want to make changes. They do it on the spot and they're so helpful

I set mine up through tag. I sat with them as they set it up for me and told them exactly what I want blocked and what should stay open. If something I need to access is blocked I send them an email and I usually get it open within an hour or two. I also change the level of filtering as needed by placing a phone call to them. It's that simple.

For phones it's great, besides for the fact that some apps won't update with the filter on, so you have to call them to remove the filter, update the phone, and then put it back on.

I am having a terrible experience with Gentech on my computer. It slows it down terribly and makes all kinds of problems.
