Qustodio doesn't take screenshots of your child's phone and it has fewer filter categories than Mobicip, but Qustodio has a panic button, which is a great way for your child to get a hold of you quickly.
#KASPERSKY SAFE KIDS CHANGE WHATS BLOCKED PRO#
There's a free version and a pro version available. They use this app on their own when they need to tune out distractions and focus more on studying, which is a great way to build better time management skills and stay focused on what's most important. This app is popular among college-age kids, too, who no longer need parents to keep a close eye on them. For example, if you know dinner time is a 5:00 each evening, you can ask Offtime to lock down all apps on your child's phone during that time every day to encourage them to eat with the family. You can set Offtime up each time you need to use it to lock down the phone for an hour or two, but you can also set the app to block off the same chunk of time each day. This is a handy tool to use with teens who need access to some apps, like their calculator, during homework, but don't need the distraction of social media, games, or texting. Once the time is up, Offtime unlocks the apps and your child is free to use them again. Offtime lets you lock down individual apps, or your child's entire phone, for a designated time frame. The free version of this app is really ad-heavy and does tend to cause devices to run a little bit slower. There are no time controls or content filtering. You can't control when to lock and unlock apps from a parent device, so you will need to physically have your child's phone in your hand.

While these features are good privacy features, we don't recommend allowing children access to them because it would make it more difficult for you to keep tabs on what they're doing with their phone when they're allowed full access. It doesn't take a lot to set up just an email address for verification.ĪppLock includes a vault to secure sensitive information, like documents or images, and a safe browser that works a little bit like a VPN where browser history can't be traced.

AppLock has a scrambled keyboard so you can set up a password and your child won't be able to crack it by watching your hand movements. Though not intended to be used for parental control, you can use this app to lock down individual programs on your child's phone so they can't be accessed until the correct passcode is entered.

However, you do get five licenses to install on multiple phones. Mobicip is a little pricy, costing about $50 for the full app. Mobicip also blocks websites using 30 filter categories and periodically snaps screenshots of your child's screen so you can see what they see. You can also add your own words and phrases to the monitored list. This is a great way to crack down on cyberbullying, sexting, and swearing. It has keyword monitoring that sends alerts when phrases like "don't tell," "home alone," or "what's your phone number" are either sent to or from your child. Images shared, viewed, and taken with their phone are also captured. The full transcripts of all texts and instant messages your child sends and receives are captured by Mobicip, so you can see if anyone is harassing them. This takes the pressure off of you and makes Mobicip the "bad guy." The time controls are great, too, with big messages displayed once screen time is up. You can also restrict internet browser use while still allowing them to access text and phone. This app lets you lock your child's entire phone or block a few apps from your own.
