Very bad app! The filter gets off automatically. Password is useless and premium plan! I am admin of my own phone. This app literally reads my screen! 😠 when I turn on filter, then it turns off automatically! What to do? please make the app fully free and permanent protection for free please!

Why in the world does it block settings, like without settings I can barely do a lot of customization on my phone. Isn't there a way to not block settings but still have it unable to uninstall.
