AirDroid Parental Control

Just a heads up, there is only a 3 day trial, if you were hoping it was free or had free features, it doesn't after 3 days. I'm not the fence on if I want to subscribe. It looks promising but that could change after I may decide to pay. Just wish apps were more upfront about this information in the store page before downloading, it was a pain to set up.

Not happy with it. I paid for the year so I'll continue to use it. Most of the features stop working after a while. I have to keep going in to allow app permissions every time the app updates, and downtime stopped working after the latest update. It uses military time, and doesn't give you an option to for a 12hr clock. You can't see chats from social media apps, but you can see incoming messages from texts, but not outgoing.

Overall the app works well, especially to be able to control downtime and app limits on an iPhone with an Android phone. However, there is no way to limit overall screen time. You can limit the time in each app but not a cumulative screen time (all apps in total). Also, for some reason the time spent in an app does not agree in the app compared to my child's phone. The time spent in an app on the iPhone one may show 8 minutes while the app shows 25 minutes. I tend to believe the iPhone.

I don't like that I can't see the texts my daughter is sending, I can only see incoming texts. They are also not separated by person, every text goes to the same thread. The daily usage never updates, it stays at 0. I also get annoyed with the constant notifications every time a text or weather alert, app notification, etc come in. Putting time limits on apps and even adding them to the block list doesn't prevent my daughter from using them. I can block an app and she can use it normally.

Has potential. Sadly, info says you can connect up to 10 devices with paid subscription. Yet, support says you can only connect one phone to one other phone. Also, upon installation, you get a 3-day trial. Before that ends, you are given option of subscribing monthly or annually, which will give you a 14 day trial. Think they need to be more upfront about its limits and that it is not a free app. We have 2 parents and 2 kids.
