good points, thanks for the feedback! I'll look into how I can reword the text to make it clearer.

One more nitpick. During installation, I noticed the use of two app names, "ParentControl" for the app itself, and "Parental Control" otherwise. Could become a problem from SEO standpoint.
And one last nitpick/question. It looks like the app requires a connection? Was it simply easier to develop, or did you want to simplify the sign up process by tying users' settings to their email? It would obviously be much better if this worked in Airplane mode. However, it's not a dealbreaker, and the unusually low friction of getting set up may be worth it (in fact, if that were the goal, I think it's kinda genius).

One more suggestion, in case you don't know, there is this HN parents mailing list:
groups.google.com/group/hn-parents
I vaguely recall there being a discussion on it a while ago about this.

Didn't know about the group, thanks for the pointer.
Seems like the group is invite only (my signup is pending for approval). If you have a minute, would be great if you could help me post the link there, otherwise I'll wait for the approval and do it later.
