Unlike a parental control router, which allows parents to control what websites kids can and can’t access when using their home wifi network, parental control apps let parents keep an eye on what their kids are doing on their devices wherever they’re at home, school, or anywhere else.

Parental control apps allow parents to monitor and restrict what their children can do on their devices. Unfortunately, along with the educational, resourceful, and fun content online comes concerning and potentially dangerous apps, websites, and interactions. To get the trial, simply click the link above and enter your email address and choose a password, then install the Parent app on your phone, and the Qustodio Kids App on your child’s devices.Between tablets, phones, and laptops, many kids have access to all corners of the internet starting at a very young age. Better still, there’s no need to enter any payment details, so you won’t be signed up to a subscription and charged once the trial ends. That’s plenty of time to test drive the app and find out if it’s the right one for you. You can see exactly which apps they’re using via the Parent app, and what they’re searching for online, with daily and weekly reports of how much screen time they’ve used.Īlthough Qustodio has a free tier, this is limited to one device only and doesn’t include some features such as choosing which games and apps can be used, and for how long.īut with this offer, which is exclusive to Tech Advisor readers, you can try out the Premium version of Qustodio for 30 days on up to five devices. Of course, like any parental control software, Qustodio also filters websites to help protect your kid from seeing things online that they shouldn’t, and lets you track their location via their phone’s GPS. Normally, that’ll be overnight, but with Qustodio’s grid system, you can set multiple times throughout the day when the child’s devices can and can’t be used.

Once they’ve used up their total time for the day their device will be unusable until the next day, and you can choose ‘Restricted times’ when the device is out of action even if their screen time isn’t all used up.
