PARENTAL CONTROL MONITOR APP
Wouldn’t it be handy if you can easily manage the rules and interact with your kids via an app on your phone?
The Monitor is a companion app for parents to select age-appropriate rules, receive notifications upon blocked activity or new app installs, receive and accept/reject override requests, and review the browsing history. All of this conveniently on your own personal iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad or iPod touch or an Android device such as the Google Nexus or Samsung Galaxy phone.

FAQ
Why a safe browser app?
To this day, a safe browser remains the best way to offer a safe Internet, without any workarounds, on Android. If anyone is telling you otherwise, go ahead and try what they recommend. More than likely, you will find a workaround within a few minutes.
How about device-wide filtering?
On the Kindle Fire, real device-wide filtering is possible only by making kernel-level changes. While we attempted that, it is easier said than done as almost all Android variations are locked down by Google or the OEM and third-party developers are not allowed to make changes to it.
How about DNS-based parental controls?
This is a one-size-fits-all approach where you can only allow or block domains. For e.g. most of your kids’ Googling is benign, but the odd one returns questionable stuff. Filtering the internet of today requires a dynamic filter that does deep packet inspection, like Mobicip.
Is App Monitoring enabled by default?
No, App Monitoring is supported only on iOS and Android devices at this time.
So are there no workarounds to the Safe Browser?
The only way to workaround Mobicip’s parental controls on Kindle Fire is to jailbreak the device. This is not an easy task, it voids the manufacturer’s warranty, and leads to unintended consequences.
