Child Device Monitoring App
However, Norton doesn't allow you to set time limits, either for specific apps or overall. You can't block or restrict which apps your child can use (unless you use the iPhone's built-in restriction), and, as on other iOS parental control apps, you can't block specific contacts.
Pros: Parental control and monitoring for every device on your network. Enforces Safe Search. Device-specific Internet time scheduling. Reports all sites visited and blocked. Optional daily activity email.
Child Text Monitoring Iphone
While it can't match the robust feature set of Norton Family Premier or PhoneSheriff, Qustodio is a worthwhile alternative, especially if you live in a household where there are more than just Android phones to manage. Qustodio costs $55 a year for five devices, including Macs and PCs. For 10 devices, it's $97, and for 15, it's $138. Qustodio also offers a tool for iOS devices (included in this pricing), which we reviewed separately because parental-control capabilities are much more limited on the iPhone than they are on Android phones.
Touted as the "next generation baby monitor" from Engadget, this camera/video app allows you to keep tabs on your baby's crib. Other features include password-protected audio and video, audio alerts, and infrared night mode, but only specific cameras (mostly Y-Cam and WiFi Baby) are compatible with this app. Check WiFiBaby.com and SunshineApps.com before purchasing Baby Monitor HD to make sure you have the correct combination of hardware and software. After purchase, Engadget.com has detailed setup instructions. ($9.99; available on IOS only with specific cameras)

Note: Retina-X Studios, the maker of PhoneSheriff and Mobile Spy, no longer takes new orders for either app following a break-in into company servers in March 2018. For the time being, we've removed both apps from the carousel above.
SecureTeen is an effective way of protecting your kids from cyber bollies, mature content, violent games and stalking. SecureTeen has been designed to make parents feel safer for their children and monitor their day to day phone activities.
ICE stands for "In Case of Emergency," and this app allows parents to store important health data – allergies, prescriptions, and medical conditions such as diabetes – for an unlimited amount of family and friends. You can enter information about each person's doctor and hospital affiliation, health insurance, and even attorney contacts. The idea is to put all the data you need access to in one easy-to-find place. ($2.99; IOS)
— NetNanny has been acquired by Zift, which has incorporated NetNanny's web-filtering technology into its mobile apps. The NetNanny mobile apps will continue to be supported for exising users, but new users are being asked to install the Zift apps instead. We'll have a review of Zift here soon.
You can't set up a geofence, and you're unable to remotely lock a device the way you can with PhoneSheriff. Net Nanny also doesn't offer much insight into your child's texting habits, but the ability to monitor social-media activity is built into the $60-a-year Family Pass.

Cons: Stats reports include every URL accessed, even those that aren't websites. Stats reports can't match sites accessed with device or user. In testing, did not block malware-hosting URLs and blocked few phishing URLs.
