We all know that as a parent, it is not easy to set the boundaries for your child – that also holds true for the online world. Don’t worry, you are not alone in this: did you know that 9 out of 10 parents think that their children aren’t ready to explore all mobile apps and websites? (Survey conducted by ESET in 2015).

LEARN WHAT APPS ARE KIDS USING AND WHEN
Application Guard - Blocking — Provides you with extra peace of mind by showing suitable apps for your children based on the Google Play content rating

CHILD-FRIENDLY COMMUNICATION
Child-centered Interface and Communication — Our child-friendly interface uses respectful tone and each time explains to your kid what is happening and why

REACH YOUR KIDS ANY TIME
Parental Message — Children might be busy sometimes and forget to let you know where they happen to be or what’s keeping them. Contact them using onscreen message which they have to read to continue using the device.
Child Locator — Not sure of their whereabouts? Find your kid’s location from anywhere via my.eset.com, or directly from your smartphone or tablet
WHY IS THE RATING SO LOW?
We know, that there is always something to improve, but please notice that our app might be rated by kids as well and we have to concede that not all of them are always happy that our app filters what they may find interesting content, but happens not to be right for them.
