The "New" Parental Controls - why was so much functionality removed?
A lot of functionality has been removed that we used to have previously, and I've not seen any discussion around why this functionality was removed: Complete screen lock when the scheduled offline time kicked in.

HATE the new parental controls
The parental controls were always a little buggy. Sometimes they didn't properly record websites or didnt show use time. But they were at least usable. I hate the parental controls were removed from the central app. It allowed me to change what settings I had to without hunting and poking around a website. But it also gave…

New parental controls: cant block a program on PC anymore? Not working on mobile either.
In the old parental controls I could block certain programmes on my childs PC during times when he wasnt allowed it, and unblock it as I needed to. Now it only shows a few programmes that I can add to exceptions, some of which he doesn't even have installed so I can only assume it comes from a generic list. It also refuses…

View App usage on daily basis
Is there a way to see the app usage statistic for a specific day (eg. yesterday)? I only can see the app usage of today and the past week. If my kid was yesterday 8 hours watching movies, because i had to work (not in homeoffice), the statistic of the past week is useless for me. I need to see the app usage of the past…

Kaspersky Orphan Supremely Underwhelmed
The amount of time it takes to troubleshoot unalerted port, app, system, service blocks on my child's account is unbelievable. No way to easily impersonate parent to be able to configure is crazy.

Parental control cant add profile date of birth earlier than today's date in 2008
I have tried over and over to create a profile in Parental Control for one of my children, but Bitdefender doesn't allow you to use a date of birth prior to todays date in 2008. Is this a bug that Bitdefender isn't aware of or do they only allow parental monitoring of children under 16?

Is anyone else considering ditching bitdefender because it’s parental control app is so poor?
there is a recurrent theme here; the parental app does not really work even on its own terms never mind from a parents point of view. It is appallingly weak on iPhones, you may have heard of them, although bitdefender doesn’t seem that aware that this brand of phone exists.. I am thinking of ditching my total security…

Parental Control is not working
Parental control on my kids computer hasn’t been working for months. I’ve reinstalled multiple times. It doesn’t read the time he’s spent playing. Allows him to play at all hours of the day. I’m very frustrated. I liked the old version because it actually worked.
