WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT BRIGHTCANARY “My child has severe depression so it’s important that I monitor her for safety reasons. Your app has essentially helped us save her life. I can’t thank you enough for everything you are doing with this amazing app. Please know how much of an incredible difference you are making for us as a family. Thank you!” — Maya, mom of 1 “The app monitors for adult images in messages and any concerning content in search, without me having to look through my son’s phone. Which has helped me find the right balance between trust and safety. Highly recommend it!” — Linda, mom of 2 "A 13 year old from a nearby middle school died in his bedroom after taking what he thought was a muscle relaxant. It turned out to be a counterfeit that was laced and he ordered it like a pizza through a social media app. Parents, we need to supervise. This app is the best one I’ve found to do that. And it monitors DMs." — Donna, mom of 2 SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Payment will be charged to your iTunes account.

  • NOT WORTH THE PRICE TAG

    For one, I canceled within 3 days. And I’m still being charged. And two, this app is NOT worth the hype. Very VERY limited. ESPECIALLY FOR 129$. I can connect my son’s iCloud to my iPad, for what this app does…. Lack there of, because syncing his iCloud does more FOR FREE! Don’t listen to the hype or what the app claims. Did I mention I’m still being charged!? Smh.
  • Doesn’t work

    This monitoring app does not work. It loses connection to my son’s iCloud and has to be reset. It hasn’t recorded any data in 24 hours and when looking at his phone there are plenty of new texts, calls, and searches that have not been updated in the app. Disappointed - I was hopeful to finally find a comprehensive parent monitoring app but this is not the one. I will be seeing if I can get the monthly subscription refunded as it absolutely did not do what it is marketed for. Update to my review - put in a refund request through Apple twice, both refunds were denied. I emailed Bright Canary who stated they cannot refund me, only the Apple Store can. I was offered a free year of service but I’m not getting a refund so they essentially offered me to pay for a year??🤷🏻‍♀️ they noted that iCloud is a known issue - so why offer the app to Apple users? I requested a refund within 48 hours for a yearly service and was denied and am out $119. I do not recommend - app does not work, support is non existent and is a scam.

  • Has potential- yet far from useful

    While it claims you can add a viewer - you can’t! It may show you what your kid type, but not with who it did and what lead to it. Long story short, it would be rated high 15 years ago, not today.
  • When it works

    I have problems with connectivity and erroneous errors saying our cloud storage - sometimes I get replies from tech support, but sometimes I don’t. When it works, I think it’s pretty good. Issues with some text and concerning content but then can’t figure out where that content originated for full context. Last week I got an error saying my teen was swearing in a text. I couldn’t find the exact text - I finally did, but my kid didn’t swear. The AI pulled out a typo and then erroneously changed it to a swear word. It wasn’t even an edited text message. It tracks raw keyboard input but doesn’t tell you where that input was done so I can’t tell if it’s a safari search or otherwise. I think a lot of improvements still need to be made, but umber one improvement would be responding to customers when there are issues with the app.
  • Great safeguard

    We started looking for parental controls for our kids once they got phones. We wanted something that would alert us but also let our kids still have some privacy. BrightCanary has been perfect for that. Its ability to monitor other apps let us feel better about our children having social media. 10/10 must has for any kids in today’s age.
