Accountable2You

I recently re-installed this app after having had it in the past. Unfortunately, many of the issues experienced in previous versions seemed to be beyond the control of the A2Y developers, such as Apple restrictions. The new VPN solution is great, and offers exactly why I originally purchased this product in the first place. To know that all internet activity is being monitored is partially frustrating, but mostly a relief, as someone who wants to be accountable and to do what is right on the internet. Knowing that I can still use the native iPhone browser and navigate links from email and apps without hinderance is so nice. The support team is phenomenal, and Ben is always very prompt and attentive to the support requests that come his way. Truly, this is a service that can be of great benefit to anyone who is trying to maintain or recover purity in their lives. I would recommend it to anyone in such a place!

Please reconsider when you are using this app. My fiancé and I used this app as an accountability tool after infidelity. Long story short, his app usage report showed he was using Snapchat (a previously agreed upon no no). When I confronted him about this he swore he did not use Snapchat. I was in complete disbelief that after all of our recovery work this could happen. I kicked him out and called off the marriage. He then began contacting Accountable 2 You to find out why this was showing on his phone. Turns out, per two Accountable 2 You reps they verified it was a glitch in their system causing the app to falsely appear. I contacted them via chat to verify this and waited almost TWO hours on chat and they never did respond. They sent me a vague email. I inquired what their plan was to make this CRITICAL error correct and received the same form letter response they’ve been sending out to all of their customers dealing with the same problem. I cannot believe the complete lack of accountability from an accountability app! Please look elsewhere. The information is inaccurate and they couldn’t care less.

This product absolutely does what it says, report inappropriate material to your partners, but not at a cost. The VPN not only makes the internet slow but also just drops service suddenly, making anything you need a stable connection for impossible to use and everything else frustrating. I am committed to putting my porn habit to an end and this is a great tool to do so, so I use the in-app browser, which is mediocre. Definitely worse and harder to use than google or safari, but still worth it. If the VPN didnt interfere with the usabality of the internet so much this would get 5 stars.

I’ve been using A2U with my friend for ~3 years, works great! We trade weekly reports and ask eachother about anything sketchy that shows up. I don’t use the VPN option, as I understand the technical limitations there. I wish the browser would receive more pop-up blocking support, as there are many websites I visit, even when just reading the news, which redirect me to those ‘Your Phone Has Been Compromised. You have 57 Viruses’ etc spam pages, which I think would be easy to block. Otherwise, my browsing is practically the same as Chrome or Safari!

This is the best accountability app for iPhone, hands down. Having used Accountable2You for almost a year now on my iPhone and iPad, I am happy to say it works great! It lets me be totally transparent with my wife and with another accountability partner, since they can see all my activity in the reports. Also the support team was very responsive and helpful when I had an issue a few months ago, and it was resolved quickly. I highly recommend A2U for personal accountability, and it’s a must-have app for parents!
