The numerous options are excellent with some truly innovative features such as the ‘panic’ button which is a great idea for safeguarding. The ‘Restricted Times’ setting is an excellent feature here screen time can be restricted throughout the day. The application’s real-time filter also blocks inappropriate content even in private browsing mode. These include daily limits, restricted times, web filtering, games and apps filtering, calls and SMS monitoring, location tracker and social media monitoring. The ‘Rules’ icon enables the parent to set a number of rules for the child’s device. At the time of this Qustodio review, devices could be added manually and details can be edited. Once the child has been selected from the ‘Home screen’ the app displays a simple to read Activity tracker where parents can set time limits and block days from mobile use. The top left allows the user to access their account where they can find setting such as ‘Your Devices’, ‘Your Account’ and ‘Your Family’. The app design itself is clean and intuitive with simple navigation menus and icons. It is noted that the app will only control what happens via the Qustodio app although there are some flexibilities for scheduling when this happens. The ‘home’ screen displays the children that have their devices connected. A series of screenshots demonstrates the power of the application via a web tour which can be by-passed.

Upon opening this app that controls screen time, the user is required to sign into their account. We suggest that starting with the online portal dashboard is the best method. The online platform is very intuitive, incredibly informative and easy to set-up.

At the time of this Qustodio review the app supports the software and has to be downloaded by both the parents as well as the child. Qustodio Parental Control is supported by the online platform that is very easy to download via the software’s website. This screen time control app supports a number of key features such as supervising your child’s web activity, reporting daily on web activity, setting device screen time limits and much more.

For this review, we will focus on the mobile device usage of a child from the viewpoint of a parent. Qustodio can support parents, schools and businesses.
