I appreciate the response and the idea. That's a possibility, but the mobile app doesn't have nearly the controls and overall features the PC or Mac version does.

Hi SickAgent,
You are correct that the PC/Mac version does have more features built in to them but the mobile versions should have the same functionality when it comes to the Parental Controls feature. Unfortunately, there is no way to logout of the Parental Controls feature. This is something that you can suggest using the link below.
