Question 1

🔍Is there an expiration date on Net Nanny coupons?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I often see great deals becoming unavailable, therefore, I wouldn’t wait too long as the current discounts listed here are only for a limited time.

Question 2

💰Is there a free version of Net Nanny?

Accepted Answer

While there is no free version of Net Nanny, each package includes a 14-day money-back guarantee. This allows you to test out the web filters and parental control features before you commit to a long-term plan.

Question 3

⚙️How do I set screen time limits with Net Nanny?

Accepted Answer

There are two ways to create screen time limits. Either use the schedule feature to create “restricted times” or set a daily usage limit. You can use both limitations tools at the same time, so the kids can have up to 2 hours per day, but regardless of whether they reached the limit or not, the device is paused at 6:00 for dinner or homework. For more details,  here.

Question 4

❓Does Net Nanny have YouTube Monitoring?

Accepted Answer

There is YouTube Monitoring with Net Nanny, but it only monitors the browser-based YouTube activity and not the app. To prevent kids from just using the app and bypassing all monitoring, you can block the kids from using the app, so they’ll have to go through a browser.

Question 5

🔍Are there expiration dates on Mobicip coupons?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I often see great deals becoming unavailable, therefore, I wouldn’t wait too long as the current discounts listed here are only for a limited time.

Question 6

💰Is there a free version of Mobicip?

Accepted Answer

No. You will need to purchase a subscription to Mobicip to enjoy the protection and monitoring tools on your kid’s phone. However, if you want to test it out risk-free, there is a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Question 7

⚙️Does Mobicip have screen time management tools?

Accepted Answer

While Mobicip does have a time management system, it can use some improvement. You can create a schedule of when the phone is available or completely locked, but not set a daily time limit. There is also an option to remotely lock all screens from the parent dashboard. You can read my detailed review of Mobicip here.

Question 8

💪Is the Mobicip web filter reliable?

Accepted Answer

I tested the Mobicip web filter on my kids’ phones and tablets and I came away very impressed. There are 4 sensitivity levels and or the option to create a custom filter. I used a different sensitivity level for each kid, and the filter did a great job of blocking inappropriate or dangerous sites and apps.

Question 9

🔍Where is the best place to find free Android apps?

Accepted Answer

Google Play is the best place to download official Android apps. There are several million apps that you can download directly to your phone or tablet, and all the apps have to conform to the Google terms of service to be included in the Play Store. That doesn’t mean that the Play Store is the only place to download free apps. One of the advantages of using an Android is you can download the file (called an APK) from a website and install it on your phone. Some of the top sites are:

Amazon Store
APKpure
AppsAPK
GetJar

There are several reasons why you might want to download an APK instead of getting the complete file from Play. It could be that the app isn’t available in your area, like if you want to download Hulu but aren’t in the US, or the app developer doesn’t want to submit their app to Google’s terms. One good example of this is a parental control app called . While it offers a version of the app in the Play Store, if you want the complete version that gives parents more access to the kids’ phone, it's only available by downloading the APK from the Qustodio website and uploading it to the phone.

Question 10

❓ Are free apps safe?

Accepted Answer

It’s impossible to say that all free apps are safe and at the same time, I can’t say that all free apps are dangerous. If you’re going to download an app that you’re not familiar with, take a minute and read the reviews to see what other users are saying, not just on the official review site or website, since those are easy to fake.

Downloading free apps from a trusted site is important. Cybercriminals are skilled at infecting a file with a virus or spyware and just waiting for you to download it to your phone. You can avoid this by only using trusted sites and downloading reputable apps.

Question 11

⛔️Are there any free apps that I should avoid?

Accepted Answer

There are hundreds of thousands of free apps to avoid. Some aren’t worth the free download and others can actually harm your phone. Avoid apps that don’t really have a name - like Free VPN or Free Antivirus. These guys are too lazy to come up with a name, and just want to rank high for those searches. Using small or unknown browsers is rarely a good idea. The best-case scenario is they are overrun with ads and the worst-case scenario is they don’t have the security tools needed to protect your data.

Always read the reviews to see what experiences other users have, and be wary of overly positive ones. They often come from the developers or their friends.

Question 12

⚙️How do I delete the free apps that come with my Android device

Accepted Answer

One of the biggest complaints I have with Android is there are too many free apps that come built-in on my phone. The apps have always varied, depending on the brand of phone I’m using, but the one constant is that it’s not easy to remove them.

To get rid of these apps you will need to root your Android phone, which isn’t simple and voids the warranty. If you plan on doing this, make sure you either know what you’re doing or find a friend or professional that can root it for you and delete the software.

Question 13

💰Are there free parental control programs for Windows?

Accepted Answer

I tested several free parental control programs for Windows but wouldn’t recommend using them. Most of them were just partial releases of premium versions, and if you want to access the premium features you’ll have to buy the program. The few that were truly free just weren’t very good.

Question 14

💻Can I monitor my computer without the kids knowing?

Accepted Answer

There are a few programs that I was able to install without my kids knowing. Obviously it couldn’t have any screen limits or a web filter, because then the kids would know the program was running. These would just monitor what was happening on the computer, logging every keystroke, and recording everything.

Question 15

🔍Can I monitor the computer from my Android or iPhone?

Accepted Answer

With the exception of SentryPC, all of the parental programs on my list are compatible with Android and iOS. You’ll be able to login to your account and manage the computer from the dashboard.

Question 16

❓Windows comes with built-in parental control, do I really need another program?

Accepted Answer

While it’s true that Windows 10 comes with parental control options, they are very limited. The web filter and time management features are very basic and don’t offer true protection.

Question 17

💰Are there free parental control apps for iOS?

Accepted Answer

While there are free parental control apps, I wouldn’t recommend using them. For the most part, these apps just advertise a free app, but only give you very basic monitoring tools for free. If you want the full version, you’ll have to pay anyways. If I saw a fully free program with no premium package, I had to ask myself why a company would offer their service for free. The answer was usually either they shared the data they collected or had ads that would show up on the parent app, which I found really annoying.

Question 18

🖥Why did Apple place restrictions on parental control apps?

Accepted Answer

According to Apple, they were protecting the privacy of its users from intrusive apps. Before the new regulations, the top parental control programs used mobile device management (MDM) applications that gave control of your data to a third party. Apple saw this as a breach of privacy and therefore made companies either remove or make adjustments to the MDM.

However, there is speculation that Apple was just getting rid of the competition so people would have to use its built-in parental controls.

Question 19

❓If iPhones and iPads have built-in parental controls, why do I need to buy a parental control app?

Accepted Answer

For all its greatness, Apple isn’t in the parental control business. Sure, they have some basic time management tools, but it’s nothing  or other leading parental control programs.

Question 20

🔍Isn’t using a parental control app just a nice way of saying you’re spying on your kids?

Accepted Answer

I think there is a big distinction between spying and monitoring your children. As parents, it’s our job to protect our children which has become even more difficult once they have unlimited access to the internet 24/7. They are susceptible to cyberbullying, can learn about sex, drugs, alcohol, weapons, and pretty much anything else in an uncontrolled environment.

There are spying apps, which can be downloaded to a child’s iPhone or iPad without their knowledge through iCloud and monitor everything that happens on the phone. I wouldn’t be comfortable using this spy tech unless I felt that my children were in danger or could become a danger to him or herself.

Question 21

💰Are there free parental control apps for Android?

Accepted Answer

While there are a lot of free apps that claim to monitor or limit your child’s Android device, I wouldn’t recommend them for several reasons. Most of the apps that were promoted as “Free” was just a marketing tool that was used to create an account. It included some limited features, but if you really wanted to monitor the Android device, you’d have to purchase a subscription to get access to all the features.

Any app that was completely free, and didn’t have a “pro plan” or “premium features” made me wonder “What’s the catch?” How does that company make money, and what are they doing with the data they collect from my kid’s phone?

Question 22

🖥Can I monitor my child’s Android from my iPhone?

Accepted Answer

All of the recommended apps on this list work with both Android and iPhones. This means that you can download the iPhone app for yourself and see the parent dashboard, adjust the settings, and receive all the alerts.

Question 23

🔎Can I monitor my child's Android device without them knowing?

Accepted Answer

Some parental control apps have a Stealth Mode feature that allows you to install it on an Android device remotely.

Question 24

❓Can I see SMS and text messages on my child’s phone?

Accepted Answer

Google made a policy change and restricts parental control apps from the Play Store if they can read text messages.

However, there are some apps, such as , that have the option to download the app from its website and record incoming and outgoing text messages.
