Time restriction is another major feature of parental control apps. Some services, like Norton and FamilyTime, let you specify how many total hours (or minutes) a day your child can spend on any given device as well as a schedule for when it is ok to use it. Net Nanny takes a slightly different approach and applies these time limits to internet usage. Still others, such as Qustodio, offers a mix; you can set up usage schedules for specific apps and device usage, as well as specifying a total time allotment for your child that applies across every piece of hardware they use to access the internet.
Cons: Using time-scheduler to actually limit Internet use is seriously awkward. Usage reports include every URL accessed, many of which aren't websites. Usage reports can't match sites accessed with device or user. In testing, did not block phishing or malware-hosting URLs.
Top 10 Iphone Parental Monitoring Apps
You don't need any app to monitor iPhone, but you may get download the mSpy Control Panel app to view the monitored data. It is compatible with different versions of iOS and its dashboard can also be accessed from almost every browser.
Most parental control apps require you to pay for an annual subscription based on the number of devices you monitor. Prices range anywhere from $10 to $30 for monitoring one or two devices and go all the way up to over $100 in some cases if you want 10 or more licenses. That said, there are some exceptions. Some services, like Locategy, operate on a freemium model, albeit with some limitations that don't apply to the premium edition. Others, like Kaspersky Safe Kids and Norton Family, do not restrict the number of devices that you can monitor or child accounts that you can set up.
