  • Taking Control Of Your Family's Screen Time With The FamilyTime Parental Control App

Monitoring your kid’s smartphone activity online is one of the most important and most difficult tasks for parents. Sexual predators, violent media, sexting scandals, pornography and cyberbullying are just a few of the dangers children can encounter online. Add in addictive gaming, Nomophobia, and FOMO, and we have households full of kids who cannot live without their smartphones. However, new apps like FamilyTime are making parents’ lives a lot easier. The FamilyTime parental control app can restrict Internet activity, monitor calls and texting, block apps and even prevent texting and driving. Here’s a closer look at some of FamilyTime’s best features.

1) Monitoring & Restricting Certain Internet Activity

What websites and mobile apps are your kids using? From browser history and bookmarks to mobile apps, FamilyTime will let you know if your kids are surfing porn sites or dangerous chat groups. Not only that, but you can also filter out content on iTunes based on age ratings.

2) Communication Via Phone and Text

This includes calls, contacts and text messages. You get access to date and time details and see the contact details as well. This helps you know the people your kids are in contact with and catch any suspicious people. The good thing is that you can put such contacts on a Watchlist alert. Text message monitoring allows you to intercept sexting or cyberbullying issues before they get out of control.

3) App Blocking & Time Restrictions

There are some things that need to be banned like unsafe mobile apps and overuse of the devices. It can be done with the app blocker and screen time access control. The app blocker lets you block any app from the installed apps. And on iOS, you can also block system apps. With the screen time control, you can block their devices for a specified time. There are inbuilt locks for homework, bed and dinner time but it is up to you that how you want to customize it.

4) Family Locating & Geofencing

FamilyTime’s GPS tracking capabilities give you access to a location history report so you’ll always know where they’ve been. You can also geofence locations that you want to get updates for, and get notified whenever your kid’s check-in or check out those places. Get alerts when they get home from school, visit a bad friend’s house or even if they try to sneak out at night.

5) Preventing Teen Texting And Driving

11 teenagers die every day from texting and driving. It’s the #1 killer of teens in the United States. FamilyTime allows you to set speed limits for your teen drivers and alert you if they cross them. With this feature, you can ensure safe driving on the roads and help prevent texting and driving.

6) SOS Panic Button

This is one of my favorite features of FamilyTime. If your child ever finds themselves in an emergency situation, all they have to do is press their Panic Button. You’ll get an instant alert with their location. This feature will be a savior in a variety of stations including car accidents, dates gone bad or even being too drunk to drive home.

The Internet can be a scary and dangerous place. Just a few unmonitored moments on a smartphone can expose a child to some serious online nightmares. FamilyTime is a great parental control app with lots of features and works on Android, iOS, and Kindle. FamilyTime is also very affordable. Depending on the number of devices on your plan, prices range from only $1.15 – $2.25 per month.
