Our verdict on Parental Values

Parental Values is a mobile parental-control service for families managing children’s iPhone and Android devices. Parents can block apps and websites, set per-app or device screen-time limits, create recurring homework and bedtime schedules, review screen-time activity reports, and receive location-based arrival alerts. Parent and child device management is handled through mobile apps, with rules synchronized over the internet. The service also states that it does not read messages, photos, or private in-app content.

The Family plan costs $6.60 per month and includes instant app blocking, per-app blocks, app time limits, screen-time reports, website blocking, web filtering, homework and bedtime schedules, arrival alerts, and a family locator. A 15-day trial is available. The plan’s feature set is concentrated around everyday supervision rather than a wider family-services ecosystem, so it suits households that want one place to manage devices, routines, browsing access, and location alerts. Its parent dashboard is designed for managing multiple devices across the supported mobile platforms.

Parental Values is a good fit for families seeking straightforward mobile supervision across iOS and Android, especially when app controls, recurring schedules, reports, and arrival alerts are the main priorities. The paid-only model may be less suitable for households seeking a no-cost option, while email-only support offers a narrower support channel. Families using platforms outside iOS and Android, or those looking for controls beyond mobile device management, should consider an alternative with broader platform coverage or a different service focus.
