We know how hard it is to set boundaries for your kids on the internet. Our goal is to give you the confidence that they are protected while using smartphones and tablets.
1. Given the opportunity, most kids would be glued to their phones at every waking hour. With App Guard, you can set up the daily limit for gaming and limit playtime at night or during school hours. It automatically controls apps and games and allows kids to use only the age-appropriate ones.
2. When kids are online, they can come across web pages with fake news or violent or adult content. Web Guard ensures your kids’ internet safety by keeping them away from inappropriate pages.
3. If your child didn’t come from school yet and doesn’t pick up the phone, Child Locator locates your child’s phone’s current location. Additionally, Geofencing allows you to get the notification if your child enters or steps out of the default area on the map.
4. Do you worry about your child’s phone’s battery dying and not being able to contact them? Set up Battery Protector that will limit playing games if the battery level drops below the default level.
5. Does your child have a crucial task to finish, and you are afraid they will play on their phone instead? Use Instant Block for a temporary ban on games and entertainment. If your child has some free time, you can also temporarily suspend the time limit rule through Vacation Mode.
6. Are the rules too strict? Has a newly installed app been blocked? Children can ask for an exception, and parents can instantly approve or deny requests.
7. Do you want to change the rules settings? Sign in to my.eset.com on a PC or mobile phone and change them remotely. If you, as a parent, also use an android smartphone, install our app on your phone in parent mode, and you will receive instant notifications.
8. Can’t reach your kid via phone? Check the Devices section to see if they have turned off the sound or are offline.
9. Do you have kids who have more smartphones or tablets? One license can cover multiple devices, so your whole family is protected.
10. Do you want to know your kid’s interests and how long they have spent using their phone? Reports will give you the detailed information.
11. Language barrier? Don’t worry, our app communicates with kids in 30 languages.

WHY IS THE APP RATING LOW? Please note that children can rate our app too, and not all of them are happy that it can filter content that might be intriguing for them but is wholly inappropriate.

Was alarmed to see this is being discontinued, then relieved to see it will continue as part of my multi-device premium subscription. Hopefully there is some way to migrate all my settings from the standalone product, guess I have a year to figure it out.

Perfect parental controls. It's a shame this app is being sunset as it's the best all-rounder parental control app. It takes the complexity of content management and web safety and wraps it into a fantastic user experience and is cost-effective. If eset come out with a better product for parents on mobile again I'll be the first to purchase this again for my kids. More refined/fine-grain control than family link with dash boarding and scheduling limits. Excellent product

This app has really helped with monitoring and controlling what and for how long kids are spending their time online. It also provides accurate and reliable location. It is too bad that the service of parental control will be ending soon... :(
★★★★★Hodjat Toraby· May 30, 2025
The best that I found, hope developers provide some more info from child devices and do not stop this.

This almost works really well but my child has discovered a workaround to the time limits. She opens whatever YouTube video she wants to watch then switches to the Android task manager that shows running apps. The video will continue to play, and she can watch it but Eset doesn't log that as time using a time restricted app. I tried to report this to Eset, but they replied that they don't provide support on the free version. I'd consider paying, but I assume the paid has the same flaw.

Easy to bypass on Android, basically the most useless parental controls you can waste your money on and don't expect your money back. Edit: ESET will deny there is a known bug in their software that they openly admit to and instead blame it on Android, what a pathetic cop out! Three days ago it was a bug, now they say it's due to Android, other parental controls can't be bypassed from the lock screen! Edit 2: refused refund as I've had it for longer than 30 days...

I had this on my two children's phones (Pixel 3a, Pixel 8a) and they can easily disable the app block by hitting Cancel a couple of times. The device then goes to the lock screen. After unlocking, Eset doesn't do app blocking any more until the Eset app ls deactivated and reactivated. I really like the usability of the application. It has all the features that I like, but it's not helpful if it just stops working like this.
