really makes me know my parents will never trust me. 10/10 would reccomend to people who like to micromanage every detail in their kids life. all the kids in the comments im sorry that your parents are the same way.

I used adb to uninstall all companion verizon apps before my parents decided to install this one. I don't know if it was supposed to, but it doesn't prevent me from disabling its "deletion protection" in settings by removing its device admin permission. Maybe that's Verizon's way to make the app less intrusive, which is probably a good thing since other apps brick phones this way. I'm not sure why this is even a feature if parents still get notified if their child uninstalls or disables the app.

I may be a kid but im not rating it mid because of that, im rating it that because of the fact that it uses 70% of my battery per day, overheats my phone when im on a call, and if i didnt have unlimited data, it'd use all of that too, otherwise a decent app (still hate it though because of obvious reasons)

Messed up my previous phone so badly so I had to get a new one. The main problem was that I couldn't even use cellular connection past 8 pm until 8 am the next day no matter if it was turned on or off. Another thing it messes up is the web browser, where the ad blockers stop working on certain websites. Randomly blocks stuff without parental input that I could use fine before too. Also it's just really embarrassing being 17 years old and still not allowed to do almost anything on your phone.
