On mobile, Chrome (on Android) and Kaspersky's Safe Browsers (on Android and iOS) are your only options. Net Nanny prides itself on its ability to perform a real-time check of the page being visited in order to determine whether it should be blocked, based on the content settings, which saves it from having to rely on a database of sites that should be blocked. That means privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo is beyond its control. But if you are looking for a permanent free option, I would turn to something like Kaspersky Safe Kids, which offers a more robust free tier. Changes made in the Parent Dashboard should take effect immediately, but if you need to you can synchronize with the servers to initiate a sync: On mobile devices, open the Net Nanny® Child App and select the menu option in the upper right corner and select Synchronize with Servers.
Net Nanny: App management As was typically the case, the app-management features on Zift were much more effective on Android than they were on iOS, due to Apple's restrictions, but the app did offer a bit more on iOS than some of its competitors. Cons: MSpy only works if you jailbreak your iPhone (they recently launched a non-jailbreak solution for iOS7+).
Note that Net Nanny's filtering technology recognizes context. Navigation is quicker on the app than on the web, too.
The "Warn" action allows the user a chance to avoid a potentially objectionable site. Qustodio and Kaspersky Safe Kids match its platform support. Any changes you make should propagate to your children's devices when they connect to the internet.
You'll see any online searches, app installs, app usage and flagged web content, and it will also offer advice from Net Nanny experts on how to tackle certain subjects with your kids. For example, if your house rule is no more than 10 hours online each week, Net Nanny will track individual usage and automatically cut off access once a user reaches 10 hours. Swiping down from the top of this feed gives you a convenient overview screen with the current location, remaining screen time and current rules that are applied to each device. I have been denied access to my account three times in the first month, reset my password twice and am now in the process of doing it for the third time. This is particularly useful for children who have a habit of playing games or using social media apps when they should be doing homework. Other programs, such as Surfie, sent us email notices when our kids typed tagged words, such as “alcohol” or “home alone,” into search engines or in chat messages. The good news is that filter words are not restricted by Mobicip's ridiculous five-character minimum requirement. Porn blocking software is important to prevent accidental exposure. Kids must be using either the Norton Family Browser (on mobile) or have the Norton Family Extension enabled (on desktop browsers) for this to work. The software makes the internet very slow and blocks things even in the whitelist. This means you would be able to view every single app that was launched on their phone, what time the app was launched and how long they spent on that app. With the way that Net Nanny works, it applies to the internet as a whole.
