Sadly doesn’t catch the photos
Sadly doesn’t catch the photos. We tested it on iPhone and it only caught 1/5 explicit photos. Everything was followed and on as it should but it was very selective what it picked up.

App does what it’s supposed to I guess but what sucks is a price gouge every year! Every year the price goes up substantially. supposed to be trying to help people but I think they just wanna help get their second and third houses bunch of price gouging thieves!

I like the Product/service however, the cost seems to be GOUGING. $18 per month, $184 per year, or $850 for a one-time lifetime purchase. Isn't this alleged to be something that helps people keep their commitment to God and avoid Sin? Seems to be a CASH GRAB more than anything. For comparison You can get Microsoft 365 for $6 per month which is substantial array of software & service. Or you can get internet service for Verizon for a tablet for $8.50 per month. This service should cost a lot less.

I am my son's accountability partner, Personally I don't have issues with porn. My son looks at suggestive anime pics. We've had the service for prob about two years. I had questions about being notified when my son is looking at inappropriate sites. CE told me I have to check the Victory App to see if he is looking at something inappropriate! I asked why I can't get notifications. She said it was because CE does not support PUSH NOTIFICATIONS. For something my son is paying $200 yearly for I would think that is something they should have. I told them I was unhappy about this and they said they would bring it up to management. Blessings, John 20:29

As an adult, I purchased Covenant Eyes to keep myself accountable to my wife for my iPhone and Windows use. My wife had never before known about my use of porn, so it had never been an issue between us, but I felt that I should get Covenant Eyes and let her know that I wanted to live porn-free. She agreed to be my partner. But I soon found that my privacy was being violated in ways that I hadn't anticipated. Not only were screenshots of porn-free, informative sites sent to my wife, but so were images of Word documents that I was working on. I wouldn't have cared were my wife looking over my shoulder, but I felt that having these screenshots of my writing and research taken randomly, without my knowledge, and sent without my permission was too invasive. The same thing happened from my iPhone: screenshots of documents that I had stored and consulted from Dropbox were sent to her. At this point, I was ready to uninstall Covenant Eyes, but my wife was immediately notified when I requested the necessary uninstall code. Yes, I was busted--and my wife did not approve. So, I reconsidered. Then, I started getting notifications on my iPhone that the Covenant Eyes vpn had turned off and that I needed to tap twice on the notification to turn it back on. Sometimes I could tap twice, but usually the notifications disappeared before I could tap once. I'm not a technology person and I don't understand anything about vpns. But I figured that, for one reason or another, the vpn on my iPhone was turning on and off, seemingly at random. This went on for several days. I knew better than to make the least attempt to outsmart Covenant Eyes, and I wasn't about to try to sneak in a little porn while the software was blinking (so to speak). Yet, my wife was getting these notifications too. When she confronted me, I spent ten minutes trying to defend my innocence only to then find that I had to defend my honesty too. Too much! Covenant Eyes did not help my wife to trust me. On the contrary, its tactics hurt her trust in me.

Thanks for leaving your review. I'm sorry for your poor experience with our service, and that it did positively impact your relationships. Some of your comments highlight the tension in our service between a desire for comprehensiveness in reporting on one hand, and a desire for greater privacy on the other. We do blur all screenshots to prevent private information from being displayed. We also have configuration options so you can choose whether to share all your activity or only activity that requires review: https://support.covenanteyes.com/hc/en-us/articles/12009176649243-How-do-I-change-Activity-Preferences. Uninstall notifications are a key part of our service, our members subscribe to Covenant Eyes so we can keep them accountable. Unfortunately, it sounds like you experienced a common issue from a previous version of our iPhone (https://support.covenanteyes.com/hc/en-us/articles/30052629180955-Why-is-the-Covenant-Eyes-VPN-blinking-on-an-iPhone). We have since been able to identify and fix the cause of the VPN blinking problem in most instances. I am sorry for the difficulty this caused you. Keith

I used covenant eyes for 20 years but have just cancelled. I am quite disappointed at how terrible the software works. For example, every webpage that you visit their VPN has to load. Which takes a considerable amount of time. Often over 10 seconds. It just doesn’t work well at all. Not only that, but they have increased their monthly price. Not worth it. I am looking at other alternatives.

This app used to be okay. The recent changes to their software however, have made it absolutely useless. Screen accountability does not work. I have told the company many times since they introduced the feature. The recent update has left reports based solely on screen accountability. The app works poorly on iOS it constantly turns off or can be turned off. Nothing is monitored unless the specific browser is used. It does not monitor app activity or block content within apps. l contacted customer service a few times and found them to be responsive but lacking in helpfulness. The only useful feature of CE used to be the full browsing logs. I never found reports to be comprehensive and literally spent hours filtering thru thousands of logs to check for suspicious activity. Now this feature is gone completely and so the service is utterly a waste of money as it will do absolutely nothing but provide a false sense of behavior from addicts.
