Questions parents ask before installing.
Still unsure? Email info@bashbop.com and you will reach a real person.
Will this stop a determined teenager?
No. Brain Boost Buddy is a routine-building tool for primary-age children, not an unbreakable security product. A technically skilled child with admin rights may be able to force-quit it. Use the operating system's parental controls as well when you need tighter restrictions.
What happens when my child gets stuck?
A wrong answer opens a short lesson, followed by a fresh question. You can also use the parent PIN to lower the difficulty, reduce the pass target, grant another go or unlock the laptop.
Is it safe to try?
Setup remains freely quittable until you complete the parent handoff. The Mac app is signed and notarised by Apple. Windows may show a first-run SmartScreen warning while the app builds reputation.
Does it need the internet?
You need Wi-Fi to start the trial or verify a subscription. Core quiz and lesson behaviour works offline, with a grace period for paid licence checks.
How do I stop or remove it?
Open the parent panel with your PIN and choose Switch off Brain Boost Buddy. It stops opening at login. You can then uninstall it normally or turn it back on later.
What if it is not right for our family?
There is no charge during the seven-day trial. After purchase, our 14-day money-back promise applies.
