Overall Positive
We installed this almost a year ago. There were a few glitches at first. I contacted customer service and worked through them. Customer service was prompt with their response and advice. The app use is straightforward and fairly easy to navigate. I like that it will track what apps my son uses and for how long. There are some things it should allow but doesn’t but it’s not a deal breaker. My son tried to look up Dave’s Hot Chicken menu and it was blocked. I looked it up and texted it to him which solved the problem. I would rather the app block too much than not enough.
United StatesDo NOT use
Genuinely one of the worse apps I’ve ever experienced. This app works as a control center for all of the “shield” apps. It is completely unresponsive. You will try to change pages or scroll, and the app literally won’t respond. I’ve never seen an app so poorly made before. Now on to the product itself. The shield apps can’t be removed. The only way to delete the shield app is through the shield app - but nothing happens when you try to remove it. Literally nothing. A loading icon will appear for a few seconds, and then the app is still there. You literally can’t delete it. My laptop is experiencing a similar fate - I go to uninstall, it tells me I have to get permission from the control center app, I grant permission, and then nothing. I don’t know if this is actually spyware or some form of scam, or if this is simply the result of some of the most inadequate developers that exist on this planet, but avoid Canopy like the plague.
United StatesFilters, but messes up MANY other apps
It sufficiently blocks things desired to be blocked. Unfortunately, it causes issues with lots of other apps, even when they are supposed to be excluded and “unfiltered” in the settings In general, certain apps just won’t load Examples include: Ring cameras Tapo security cameras MyQ garage door opener Lowe’s and Home Depot apps TV remotes (Fire, Roku) Work applications (outlook, Voalte, Haiku) I love the idea of AI screen protection but this app has a long way to go. Hopefully the developers are able to fix the bugs necessary to make it work and other things work as well.
United StatesGreat App! Want Text Monitoring
This is the only app that I’ve used so far that doesn’t allow for uninstalling, regardless of the device. Even on a Chromebook! I like that it takes a proactive approach to online safety. I do hope that they eventually push out text monitoring.
United StatesMostly Great
Some VPN issues when interacting with different apps and services but otherwise works well and support team is great!
United StatesBeware of this app!!
This is unequivocally the worst app I’ve ever seen in my life. I thought it would be good idea to have this whenever I had my niece and nephew around and when I tried to delete it, it completely blocked me out of the Internet and no matter how many times I’ve tried to remove it. It keeps re-downloading itself back to my MacBook. I’ve tried contacting Apple and they don’t even know how to remove it. I work from home and this is my only computer. I have lost so much money but not being able to have access. I emailed Canopy last night and spent so much time on the phone which was absolutely pointless and they still never got back to me. Are they going to pay me back for I’ve lost for not being able to run my business? Of course not!! I’ve called multiple times and left multiple emails and don’t worry. Our tech team is working on it as if. If you want to download an app that will destroy any of your devices while getting subpar customer service then be my guest.
United StatesWe love canopy!
I appreciate the peace of mind I get from knowing our computers and phones are being filtered. I like the amount of control I have on the parent app. I can see what apps or websites have been used on each device and for how long. I can set controls to disconnect from the internet during homework or overnight hours. I can also easily pause Canopy on individual devices, while I’m supervising, so access to typically blocked websites is available. For example, I have the stricter settings on so it blocks our library website (that apparently has adult content). When we need to order books, I just pause Canopy while I’m supervising, we order books, and then I turn it right back on. Easy!
