Currently, the tremendous accessibility that users have to all kinds of information from their mobile phones is almost insulting. Children also fall into this range, with whom we must be extremely careful so that they do not reach inappropriate places, that is why the parental control.
It is a system that allows restricting certain illegal content or that is reserved only for adults. In addition, many of these apps locate the position of the child or monitor the time spent on certain apps. This, while somewhat intrusive, helps prevent scams and harassment.
Parental Control Screen Time
Its use is completely free, and allows you to control both the websites they access and the time they spend glued to the smartphone screen. In addition, it has more severe measures such as restricting the use of certain apps or fully lock the terminal. Unfortunately, we do not have real-time location of the children.
Family Locator
In this case we have, in addition to parental control over the children's terminal and limiting their use, a locator. In this way, it will be possible to have the position of the children in real time if they go out with friends. The app will show a map with an icon of where it is at all times, with the distance that separates us from them, even in more remote connection areas such as an airplane.
ESET Parental Control
Its protection is based on a comprehensive parameterization of everything that children visit throughout the day on their mobile phones. For example, it shows a ranking with the most visited websites, with an automatic blocking of websites that age does not allow access, such as adult pages or sports betting. There is always the option to configure it manually, but that automation gives an extra piece of mind.
Parental controls Kids Zone
Its tentacles in safety are elongated, since it performs an almost constant scan of the webs that children visit throughout the day. Even if a page that is allowed tries to access another that is not, the app directly blocks the option. In addition, it restricts potential situations such as purchases in the Play Store, which are very easy to carry out.
FamilySafe
Monitor the time both in applications and on the terminal screen. The great novelty of this app is that its filters not only block websites or applications, but also scans potentially dangerous photos or images both for its content and for computer viruses. To complete, it has geolocation of the child's device, although for this the app must be installed on both mobiles.
SecureKids Parental Control
It has a complete security program, in which we have alerts for the boy or girl is in a problem, create personalized messages to send to the children's smartphone, establish restricted use apps and limited hours. Finally, it should be noted that its geolocation is available both in the mobile app and on other platforms.
Safe Family: Parental Control
People McAfee Nor has it been wanted to be left behind in the field of parental control, since technology security is its main asset. It has the same number of features as others from the competition, but its two big negative points are that its security system fails and there are tricks to avoid it, in addition to the fact that the plan is free for one month only, something that weighs heavily on the decision to install this app.
Parental Control Kidslox
It stands out for its different categories when cataloging its functions. First of all, we have the option to block apps either from third parties, by a specific category or a specific one manually. In addition, it consists of three modes to establish the degree of restrictions, differentiating between 'Child Mode', 'Parent Mode' and 'Lockdown'. Obviously the last one is the most restrictive of all and that can be changed with a single button.
family time
This program, like all the ones we have been analyzing, protects from accessing pages with inappropriate content. But if what we are concerned about is cyberbullying or so-called 'sexting', the ideal would be to let the app carry out a SMS message sampling, thanks to your scanner. This will allow you to avoid such unpleasant situations.
croha
A parental control app to monitor the time that children spend individually in each application or generally with the smartphone. It blocks access to inappropriate websites for minors, has geolocation and also allows us to protect the eyes of children, not only restricting the time of use, but also setting night mode for your terminal.
