I am disappointed as well as surprised you haven’t included Qustodio in your review. While relatively new, this has got to be the most robust and complete parental control application out there and its FREE. I’ve now been using it for close to 5 months without any issue. Considering that it’s free, it’s features simply blow the wind out of paid apps (and I’ve used quite a few in the past). Light weight and easy to use, there are a few cool features too like the extensive reporting feature that let’s me view the data for the past 30 days. I can also watch the profile pictures of accounts on Facebook that my son chats with. Just Google for it.
Thanks a ton for I was actually doing extensive Internet research on the best parental control software I can get to monitor my teenybopper’s private Internet life and get familiar to the terminologies he uses most frequently. Especially when I hear stories about teens’ Internet and social media use and impact on their lifestyle and family life. Are their any app or tool to monitor kids’ Smartphone use?
Last year Forbes magazine rated martial art training schools as a fighting style, which uses all attack and no
defense. Both of these can be learned by anybody who is prepared to join a brawl in a bar or at the Dojo, Dojang, Kwoon, or gym,
or both. Sign your kid up for kid’s karate and kid’s martial arts class is truly amazing.
I was only aware of Net Nanny and while I was searching for better alternatives as my kids are smart enough to negate filter capabilities of this software. I was adamant on replacing with newer and smarter parental control software. Given their inclination and ease of adoption of tech tools, I gotta act smarter and be two steps ahead of my kids just to be able to watch their online activities.
