Pros & Cons

  • Dedicated Kids Mode launcher for a focused experience
  • Rule-based app control using package names
  • On-device firewall via VPNService for targeted blocking
  • Free core features with optional premium enhancements
  • Blocking is based on app package names rather than content, which may miss some usage nuances
  • Optional permissions and premium features may require activation or subscription for full functionality
  • Some advanced controls live behind the Premium tier, which may impact early adopters seeking all features upfront

Comments on Kids Place: Parental Controls for Android

★★★★★ Paula Kneeland · Sep 12, 2026
I pair this app together with covenant eyes. Kids Place is the single best parental control app out there. I've been using it for years. I recommend it to every parent and adult (yes they need the internet blocked as well) who asks. Look no further. Please never go away Kids Place. We need you in the fight against immorality!
★★★★★ Linda Choy · Oct 19, 2026

★☆☆☆☆ warren greenoy · Aug 8, 2026
Horrible app. It never worked kicked the kid out and was so hard to get back in
★☆☆☆☆ Tiffany · Apr 16, 2025
Makes you watch ads that have an installation button, so your child can click it. Complete garbage and nothing like Samsung kids
★☆☆☆☆ Toy Soy · Aug 15, 2025
App constantly fails. The child can still get out of Kids Place and mess with the phone, and access other things that are not allowed on kids place

Kids Place – Parental Control & Kids Mode

Kids Place is a dedicated Kids Mode & Parental Control app that helps parents create a controlled environment for their children on phones and tablets. With Kids Place, parents can set screen time, and block unapproved apps — giving children a space to play, learn, and explore. Kids Place uses app package names to control access. It does not view or read the content inside apps — blocking is rule-based on approved apps (package names), not on app content.

Key Features of Kids Place Parental Control App:

Kids Mode Launcher With Parental Controls
Turn your device into a kid-friendly space. Only parent-approved apps appear on the home screen, and kids stay inside Kids Place until you exit with your PIN.

App Blocker
Decide which apps are visible and usable. Block access to apps you don’t approve.

Screen Time Limits
Set daily time limits for the device or for individual apps to encourage healthy digital habits.

Block Purchases & Downloads
Prevent children from making accidental purchases or downloading new apps from the Play Store.

Free Version Includes

Child-friendly launcher and kids space.

Ability to block unapproved apps.


Premium (Optional Subscription/One-Time Purchase) Adds

Profiles: Create different profiles for each child.

Screen time controls: Flexible app and device limits.

Background Mode: Run Kids Place in backgorund mode with stock launcher.

Tamper Protection: Restart on reboot

Important Permissions & Disclosures

Device Administrator Permission (Optional): This permission is requested to make it difficult for children to uninstall the app without a parent's permission, helping to ensure that parental controls remain active on the device.

Accessibility Service Permission(Optional): Used to lock the notification bar and prevent kids from leaving Kids Mode.

VPN Service Permission(Optional): Kids Place utilizes Android’s VpnService API to provide an on-device local firewall and internet blocking feature. When enabled by a parent, this feature allows you to restrict internet access for specific applications. Kids Place utilizes Android’s VpnService API to provide on-device local firewall and application restriction capabilities. When enabled by a parent, this feature filters network requests locally on the device to block selected apps or domains. Unblocked domain requests are forwarded to standard public DNS resolvers (such as Cloudflare) solely to complete normal network connections.

Privacy & Security
Kids Place uses above permissions to enforce parental control features. For full details, see our Privacy Policy https://kiddoware.com/kids-place-privacy-policy/
Kids Place is designed to support parents—not replace them. No technology can block 100% of unwanted use, so parental supervision and guidance remain important.
