Honest Qustodio Reviews from Real People - Joseph Liemandt - 01-24-2026

The Qustodio app seems to be a hit-or-miss for parents – some swear by it, but plenty are beyond frustrated. It’s supposed to help manage screen time and block inappropriate content, but a lot of users say it just doesn’t work as advertised:
  • Subscription nightmares: Auto-renewal is tricky to turn off, and canceling feels like jumping through hoops. In their Qustodio reviews on Trustpilot, some users say they’ve been charged even after canceling.
  • Weak content blocking: In Qustodio reviews, parents report that Qustodio struggles with YouTube restrictions and doesn’t consistently block social media, gambling, or adult sites. Monitoring iPhones seems to be especially unreliable.
  • Kids outsmart it: Despite claims found in a Qustodio app review that it can’t be uninstalled, parents say even their non-techy kids figured out how to remove or disable it – some within hours of installing it.
  • Bugs & useless support: From incorrect time tracking to glitchy location features, users run into all sorts of issues. And when they reach out for help? You can open any Qustodio app review and see that many say customer support either doesn’t respond or gives generic, unhelpful advice.
That said, a few parents do find it useful for younger kids or children with special needs. But for a lot of families, the frustration just isn’t worth it, and they end up switching to something else.
