Worried your kids are using their phones at school? Restrict access Monday through Friday until 4:00 p.m. You can protect your children from online dangers remotely Think your little ones should be outside playing on the weekend instead of playing with their iPads? Limit screen time, or remove it altogether, on Saturday and Sunday. There are dangers everywhere online, including cyber predators, messages from friends with sexual content, and cyberbullying. There is no way to protect your children 100% from online dangers, but you can restrict access and monitor the websites your kids actively visit. If they're visiting out a new social website you've never heard of, you can block it. Qustodio is very easy to install and get up and running. Simply download Qustodio onto your (the parent's) device and set up a free account. Then, you'll download Qustodio to your child's device. You'll be asked to give Qustodio a lot of access to your child's iPhone or iPad, like location tracking, access to all of your apps, and more. I know it all sounds scary, especially since this is for tracking your child, but the iMore team read over the company's privacy policy and it all seems pretty clear that access to this information and data is specifically intended to help you, as the "controller" of the device, to be able to set rules. I highly suggest you take a look at Qustodio's Privacy Policy (opens in new tab) yourself, and if you feel uncomfortable with their policy, don't feel obligated to continue using the app. The iPhone and iPad Qustodio app act as a monitoring tool for you and your children. Qustodio first and foremost offers its Families package to users who have a bit of money to burn. You can get basic details about activities happening on your kids' devices, but the deep-dive features happen on the Qustodio Family Portal, which is accessed via the web. In other words, the parental control app called Qustodio for Families is anything but cheap. Monitoring tools include keeping an eye on app activity, keeping track of the things your child posts to Facebook, checking out websites your child visits (literally every website visited) and blocking ones you think are inappropriate, and tracking your child's location. All of this information is displayed in real-time and the amount of time your child has spent in different apps or on different web pages are also listed.
