The Blocksi Parent Mobile App is integrated with the Blocksi Manager Education Everywhere application and allows parents to enforce their own filtering policies when their child’s device is outside of school. Parents can block specific sites and view their child's online analytics. With the Blocksi Parent Mobile App, you can: • Enforce stricter policies when the device is outside of school • Access time control at home for streaming, gaming, and social networking • Receive cyberbullying and self-harm detection alerts • View Web and YouTube history • Enforce bedtime and screen access time control
Time control and blocked sites need improvement
The time control feature only lets you pick 1 hour increments, so I can’t block access when my son gets out of school at 2:15– I have to let him have access all the way until 3:00 (because if I block it at 2:00, it might interfere with his last class), which is a problem for him because he has after school activities that he neglects because he still has access to the internet on his Chromebook until 3:00. How hard is it to allow us to customize the time down to the minute, so the internet can be blocked as soon as he is out of school at 2:15? Lastly, I blocked YouTube but somehow he is still accessing it. It is successfully blocking Scratch, at least, but not YouTube. Not sure if this is some strange glitch or what.
Ineffective and to much Information
As a parent my kids got this installed on their school devices and I absolutely hate the idea of it the teachers can watch what my son is doing on his chrome book at home and at school. I’m am very upset with the school for installing this program.
Terrible program
This program is terrible and doesn’t block anything that I put on the list. Very hard to navigate too.
Doesn’t give enough information
I am constantly getting “error” when I try and look at the browsing log. The interface is not intuitive.

Ineffective: did not block google.com when in bedtime mode
The Blocksi web interface and the app are not intuitive and the help section is very sparse. My DD was often on her Chromebook during bedtime restriction times. She was still able to access google sites including her classroom portal. We ended up revoking consent for her to bring her Chromebook home after she got it out of a locked closet in the middle of the night, twice. The bedtime feature was pretty useless. Not impressed.
In this new version the parent will add urls to their exception list considering the category and url lock by admin's policy, so an info message would be shown for each url that is locked by admin in any way.
