As Close To Total Control As You Can Get On Android It seems that this is not the most popular / installed parental control app out there. That is surprising as this is the most Mature and Comprehensive software in this rather crowded category. My review will be short -- I have tried some other totally free solutions. Most will work splendidly if you have perhaps just one (1) device and are looking mostly to install it and forget it. Your results will be commensurable. Parents Around is free for try / paid after that app + service. It is geared for multiple devices / multiple kids / varying schedules. You will need to sit down and make decisions regarding your kids computing usage policies. In return for your work (and money) you will get back more flexibility and way more understanding what your kids are doing. Last but not least, the software seems fairly mature. However, as of this writing, there are still ways of getting around it -- I can only imagine that it get better with time. Highly recommended.

Very flexible! I gave my 8yo my old smartphone and took a long time figuring out how to manage it with her so she could have some freedom (download free games from Play store, send texts, etc.) but not total control (install Facebook, use built-in chat, etc.). It was harder than I thought but this app turned out to be the winner. She requests apps and I can approve them remotely, instantly, in email, and she gets them right away. She doesn't browse the web much but it's nice to know her browser is at least semi-"safe." We don't use the time management (yet) but it's nice to know it's there if we need it. She feels very grownup with her own access code and being able to shop and download stuff from the Play store. When I decided to pay month to month, the process was easy. The interfaces are a little clunky and clearly not by native English speakers, but this app really does the job & is the best out there I've found. Recommended!

You can hack the free triakl period and the parentsl controls to bypass it kids Here is how to hack it: 1. Boot into safe mode. This way will not reset your device. Google how to do it because it varies from device to device. 2. Recovery mode. This will reset your device. Hold the volume down key first than the power button or the volume up button first and the power key and hold both keys until the device starts. From there select boot in to recovery with the volume keys. After that, select, Wipe user data. After that is done, select, reboot system now. Use the volume buttons to do it. You will have a device with no parental controls and will be factory resetted. Teens should know how to do this. Entering recovery mode varies from device to device do google how to do it.

Not very useful for me. On my Dell Venue 7 the allowed applications app is upside down. I power on the device, click to sign is as the child, sign in, and then the screen flips upside down. If I open an app, it flips right for the app, but the allowed application screen is still upside down when I leave the app. Second issue, go to the safe browser, set for 8-13 years old. Type in the F word that rhymes with Duck and the word monkey. Get tons of hits. Click one, and the device just times out. No message that its blocking the site. All support seems to be in French.
