Boomerang Parental Control review
A low-cost annual option with the fullest controls on supported Android devices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Boomerang Parental Control is designed for parents managing children’s Android and iOS devices. It combines weekday and weekend screen-time schedules, daily device limits, app controls, safe browsing, location tracking, geofencing notifications, and activity monitoring. Parents can manage devices through Android or iOS Parent Mode apps and a web dashboard. It suits families that want broad parental-control coverage with annual per-device licensing, especially when Android devices are central to the household.
Pricing is structured around annual licenses. The Single Device License costs $19.99 per device per year and covers one child-device license; it is available for Android child devices and does not auto-renew. The Family Pack costs $39.99 per 10 device licenses per year and supports up to 10 family device licenses across Android smartphones and tablets; it also does not auto-renew. A 14-day trial is available, while the product does not have a free plan. Pricing can vary by geography in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Android offers the broadest control set. Parents can block, schedule, and set daily timers for individual apps, approve new app installations, manage call and text safety controls, and review calls, texts, and YouTube history on supported devices. Android devices also support enhanced device protection. Across supported platforms, the product adds safe browsing with website and search filtering, location history, time-outs, and time extensions from Parent Mode. Families with iOS child devices should expect a narrower feature set, while those seeking per-app controls, deeper reports, and call or text safety features should choose supported Android devices.
