Parental Control App review
A broad parental-control suite with strong coverage but high per-device pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Parental Control App helps families monitor and manage children’s devices across web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and supported Chromebooks. It combines customizable web filtering, recurring screen-time schedules, individual app blocking, usage limits, activity reports, GPS location tracking, geofencing alerts, call and message monitoring, social-media activity monitoring, and remote device locking or unlocking. Its broad feature set suits families seeking centralized oversight across several areas of device use, rather than a tool focused only on screen-time limits or content filtering.
Pricing is structured around paid, per-device subscriptions. The 3-Month Plan costs $64 per device, while the 6-Month Plan costs $96 per device. The 12-Month Plan costs $149 per device, equivalent to a listed starting price of $12.42 per device per month when billed annually. All three plans include advanced screen-time controls, web and app filtering, social-media monitoring, location tracking, detailed activity reports, and 24/7 priority support. A 7-day free trial and 30-day money-back guarantee provide ways to evaluate the service, but there is no free plan, and each device requires its own subscription.
The main strength is breadth: parents can combine content controls, schedules, app restrictions, reporting, location features, communications monitoring, and remote controls in one service. GDPR compliance, cloud, desktop, and mobile deployment, plus email and ticket support, add practical coverage for families using mixed devices. The tradeoff is cost and scope. A family managing multiple devices pays separately for each one, and families wanting only basic filtering or screen-time scheduling may find this broader suite more than they need. Choose it for wide-ranging monitoring and control; consider a narrower alternative when per-device pricing is the priority.
