Description by Kiddoware - Parental Controls App Provider Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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.
