Hello,
We have started receiving some feedback from our testers, so I thought I would start a discussion forum for users to add feature requests. While our initial efforts have been to provide a functioning, yet basic solution to the marketplace, we would love to learn which features our customers want the most; that way we can prioritize which improvements to work on for upcoming releases. Feel free to add to this thread; while you may not get an immediate response, know that we will be monitoring this thread closely.

Hi fredd,
Thanks for posting! Mobicip plans to be a full-service provider across all platforms (smartphones, netbooks, laptops, and computers), so plans are in place to provide a solution for Android-based phones. Ultimately, we want our users to be able to subscribe to one filtering service which will work regardless of which device is being used.
Make sure you register your email address on our site so you can stay abreast of our progress! We tentatively anticipate a release date for Android-based devices by March (but don't hold me to that!).

Web tracking rather than filtering?
This service that you are offering is a real blessing.
However, instead of (or in addition to) content filtering, can your app be used for browsing accountability (e.g. non-erasing history, and sending history to trusted partners, a la "Covanent Eyes")?
Such a feature would allow for freer access to the web, but would be automatically tailored to the needs of the users. Kids that knew everything that they surfed to would be seen by their parents would be able to keep themselves safer.

Improvement Requests
1). Agree with allowing the kid image to be changed. Don't base it on the filter level. First on the list only because it should be a smaller change.
2). The ability to unblock a list of sites.
3). Email/On Account list of sites visited. All sites - with subcategories like blocked.
4). Have multiple tabs like Safari

Open New Tabs
I have two polite requests:
-Please enable tabbed browsing
-Please speed up the browser.
I have a naughty husband whom I installed this app on and we paid for the premium service in addition to the app.
Please consider adding those two things and it would be an excellent browser and you would have a very happy customer!
Cheers!

Tabs coming soon
We are actively working on adding tabs to our browser. Please bear with us as we test it thoroughly and roll it out.
Could you give us more details on the speed issue you mention? We have run several benchmarking tests and our conclusion is that the speed in rendering a page is comparable to that of Safari Mobile, even though our progress bar is not as perfect in indicating current progress.

Time Limits
I would like to have the option to lock my sons Ipod touch from 9pm-7am in the morning. I have found that he is still going online and using gmail at 10 or 11 pm when I think he is sleeping. I try to remember to make him leave his ipod downstairs at night when he goes to bed, but sometimes I forget. This would be a great addition for parents. Thanks

Re: Time Limits
Yes, sir. The Time Limits feature is almost done and should be rolled out soon. We will post an update on this thread as soon as the feature goes live.
Thanks for your suggestion and feedback. It helps us prioritize what we are working on and benefits all users.

Time Limits
Forgive the observation, but you have been claiming that Time Limits are "almost done" for at least 8 months - I saw the same comment in January this year.
Please be honest about when it will be available.

Re: Time Limits
We are terribly sorry for the delay in rolling out the Time Limits feature. The feature is actually complete and has been in private beta mode for over 8 weeks now. The reason for the delay is because it got clubbed with some other changes made to our server infrastructure to improve the filtering. These updates include major changes and cannot be rolled out without complete and thorough testing. Unfortunately, we have had to get some other things done (like iOS4 support, simplifying deployment in schools, etc.) before we could focus on this testing phase.
We offer a sincere and unconditional apology for parents who have been waiting for this feature. We promise to discuss this with our dev team and post a firm date here by which time Time Limits will be available, for a public beta provided to the interest list, and for all Premium users.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. We will try to keep the community informed about such delays, and make more realistic commitments going forward.
