Yep, the trial version is there but the full version is absent.

Google has removed it because of the screenshots, we are working on getting it back in the store.

ok thanks i need to install it again i think i may of found a bug. eg when entering the bypass code it works fine. The next day i went and set the code on the app to the wrong one to see if it was still working and it wasnt with the wrong code it would let me stream the wrong limit to the tv eg tv was set to pg and i was able to stream a r rated to it BUT after a shut down and load the server and the app again it worked again intill the net day. Not shore if its app or server side as i need the app again to do more testing. thanks

The app is back in the store now, we have resolved the issue.

When you start the Mezzmo app the PIN is sent to the server to allow access then when you exit the app the PIN is sent to the server with a message to deny access, so if you don't exit the app the access will remain open. If you enter the wrong PIN then this is ignored so the access may remain open until the server is restarted.

hmmm ok i see what you are saying BUT when you exit the app and open it again is the pin sill remembered because if so this will not be very good eg if i exit the app and leave my phone somewhere and one of the kids get my phone and open the app they can stream a video over there age limit. Or does it not remember it and you have to enter it again if so this will be ok. I think it would be a good idea for the app to ask for the pin for every video that is over the device age limit. this way if the phone or device is left somewhere and a smart kid get a hold of your device they will still be asked for a pin to stream over rated movies to that device. it should only ask for a pin if the device that is to be stream to is set to a lower age limit than the stream rating. All others below the device age limit to be streamed to should stream. thanks and keep up the good work :)

hi yep just tried it. I opened the app put the password in and yep could stream a (r) rated video to a (pg) tv all good there then i exit the app and went back into it and yep it still streams the (r) to (pg) rated tv not good i also tried to change the pin on the app but it sill remembered it. this is not good cos as i said we have kids here that are smart and they know if i leave my phone around they can get it and stream a video to there tv that they are not meant to have access to. The above post would fix this thanks :)

You can set a PIN on the phone's lock screen to prevent kids from using the phone to stream content, this way if they get your phone then they cannot open it.

We can make a change so that the PIN in the app can be set to clear when you exit the app, having to enter the PIN each time a video is played might be annoying for some users.
Currently there is an issue if you change the PIN where the access is not turned off, so if you have the correct PIN entered then enter the wrong PIN it will still allow access because only valid PIN entries are executed.

i would like that function where you have to enter the pin for all over limit ratings being streamed to a device that is lower limit then the stream being sent. Maybe an option to set it to remember the pin or not to remember the pin in the option. then the user could choose. also in regards to entering the pin for a movie that is over the rating limit of the device just a pop up saying something like this item is rated higher than the device you want to stream it on please enter the pin to override. would be good. But in saying that it would need to know what the rating is of the device it is to be send to so that if the stream is under the rating for the device it is being sent to the pin pop up would not show and just let it pass through. Hope that make sense :) thanks again
