Child Monitoring Android
We also looked into whether these services let parents monitor kids' activities on social media, although in most cases, the features we found were pretty limited. You often either need to "root" a device — which we do not recommend — or have your child hand over his or her username and password.
Although the range of features that parental control software supports is impressive, no system is perfect. If your children want to get around the limitations you impose, they will likely be able to do so either by using unmonitored devices or finding ways to wipe their devices clean of the controlling apps. Thus, it's worthwhile to take the time to talk with your child about why you have installed monitoring software in the first place. After all, digital safety and security are worthwhile topics for everyone. It's better to approach these conversations honestly, rather than have them find out on their own and stop trusting you. Especially for older children, it's also important to listen to your child's specific privacy concerns, rather than just setting rules and restrictions that may otherwise be seen as arbitrary.

Parental-control apps for smartphones can help parents track their kids, see with whom the children are communicating, block kids from reaching objectionable or dangerous websites, and even help kids understand the value of limits in a digital world while preventing them from accessing adult content or texting with strangers.
5 Best Child Tracking Apps For Android
When you configure ESET, you can automatically set web filters based on subjects, which are easy to adjust with a thumbs-up/thumbs-down interface in the app's parent portal. Adding websites that might otherwise be blocked is a little less intuitive, though you can easily OK emailed requests from your kids.
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.
The app is difficult to install, and its location-tracking features aren't as accurate as I'd like to see. I also would prefer text alerts about my child's browsing activity, which would be timelier than the emails Qustodio's app sends.
Kids Place is a comprehensive parental control app. Some of its handy attributes include a customized home screen showcasing approved apps only, the ability to prevent your child from downloading or buying new apps as well as a time feature to specify a schedule for using the smartphone.
Like ESET, Norton is at heart an antivirus maker. Norton Family Premier comes free if you spring for Norton's most expensive antivirus suite, Norton Security Premium. That product nominally costs $90 per year, but it's often discounted for as little as $60. At that price, getting Norton Family Premier and Norton's excellent antivirus protection for $10 more is kind of a no-brainer.
