Godamn it ! My son is watching porn on his phone and I want to block adult stuff,I don’t want to break their "privacy" but I want to make sure porn isn’t there ,25:58 minutes of video Jeeez I’m gonna jump off a bridge now .
Hi everyone ! So i just this little question… after paying 2 years for the app, i realize that its kinda useles cause aldo u can block it or dont alow to be unistaled, using de TASK MANAGER u can just close the program and there… no filthers no nothin.. so pay the subscription when it can be so easily disable? Or is there a way to block manager ?I need a better control of time and to filther some content.. anyone know a better ap?
Do any of these apps have a bucket-style system for time allotment? To me, this should be a no-brainer, but it’s something I haven’t found. Giving kids x amount of time for "games" would be a lot more beneficial than giving specific random allotments of time to each game.
Hello..thanks for the great detailed videos…I am also in IT for the past 20 yrs…we are just getting ready to give twin boys a phone…Verizon is the provider, they are talking that their "Smart Family parental app and plan gives all that you’ll need….I was also told by another Verizon store that since Verizon isn’t an app developer per say,, that i should look to 3rd party parental controls and suggested "My Watchdog" ….
Question: have you ever used or have any thoughts about the Verizon Smart Family application and how it stacks up to other 3rd party parental control applications…is Verizon worth it? Or does it lack important coverage control 🤔..thanks
Rip all the parents when your child looks down at you and moves away in adult hood, never wanting to see your face ever again.
Well nice you ruined my phone i dont do mutch of anything but tiktok and this makes me angrey becuse i really dont have any privecy
i’ve watched some of your videos and just got my kids their 1st phones. i’ve put Bark, Boomerang, and family link on them and i’m super overwhelmed with it all. there is so much on each and a lot of over lapping. I’ve tired to mirror everything for each kid but things are not working correctly on one phone. do you have videos on set up of each app just feel like there were so many questions/steps i’m hoping i set everything up right? Also have you seen a lag with the use of all these apps?
Does any of them block extensions in browsers?
Do you have a new Bark discount code/link? This one doesn’t work.
Is there a parental control app that let’s you see what your child is texting or snapping their friends? With Qustodio I can see friends reply in Android messager but not what my son texted. In Snapchat can not see what either has snapped. Thanks so much.
So I have Apple device but my child has an android. How does that work?
This is sooooooooooo important!!! THANK YOU!!
another fix for if they have an application on their phone that you decide you do not want them to have any longer, the one thing that can solve that problem is to remove the app, and then go to Content & Privacy Restrictions>iTunes &App Store Purchases>Installing Apps (and select don’t allow). My daughter had some social media that I decided I no longer wanted her to have and this has solved our problem with it. hope it helps.
God help your children 🙏
But very informative video, thanks.
Don’t use Net Nanny! I am having bad experience of Canceling it. Net Nanny has no Canceling function, it is nightmare, you are better to keeping away from Net Nanny
#1. dont
Uffff!! you speaks alot !!
Dad I’ll delete the app I am 13 years old but you will not have a phone anymore if you do so son. No need to delete the app. Okay dad 👨 thank you. I gave him a Nokia 1001. 35 years old. Is heavy like my dumbells 😅
2:30 is when the video starts if anyones wondering
Hi madam, any free paid websites are available..? 🤔
Stay away from Circle for sure…!!!
for any children that have any of these apps on their phone and have an android, just hold down the power button, when the menu comes up hold down the power off for 2 seconds then you’ll enter safe mode which in turn disables the parent app and then you can unistall in the settings app
OK so bark doesn’t let me see the actual content unless it flags it and even then it’s only partial. So in short it’s useless. I want something to see literally every thing.
This lady’s kids are going to have burner phones by the time they are 7 :p
Bommerang on whatever phone or pinwheel phone?
Thank you for such a comprehensive review, very helpful!
Bark can only be used if you have a computer!
WARNING WARNING WARNING. my 12 year old just beat Outpact…twice. i’m moving on to something else.
OurPact VS Bark…which would you recommend?
I’m having trouble with my sneaky 12 year old son. He’s been texting, deleting, blocking messages and contacts while at home- i need an app that will monitor ALL texts, even deleted messages. We’ve had issues in the past with him being bullied, being sent p*rn , and him having depression and suicidal thoughts.
Bruh my mom put this on my phone and hacked through it in less than 2 minutes lol piece of crap
Ever heard of Parallel Space? It is an app that allows for blocked apps to be mirrored and hidden. I blocked Snapchat and my teen son figured out how to do this.
pov:divorces
what if they just reset their phone?
If you only want to have children to control them, YOU BETTER DON’T HAVE THEM!
Thank you!!!!
Girl fix ur eyes they keep rolling away
It’s now Feb 2022 and I am just curious if you have discovered any other parental control apps for iPhone?
I’m interested in monitoring what text is being sent/received for any app. (iMessage, FB, TikTok, etc)
Anyone else know of any other products that should be included here ?
(without needing to have a computer on the same network like Bark)
Just trying to do my research first before making a final decision.
as an 11 yr old kid, my opinion is they suck as fuck
Honestly parents trying this is sad, ur children will only be more secret and this is just a breach of privacy. If you do this just dont let ur kids have a phone at all.
What do you recommend to block or monitor incognito mode for google chrome app on an iPhone? I was able to disable incognito mode on safari, but I’m having a hard time disabling it on google chrome app on iPhone.
Wonderfully detailed review- really appreciate this thank you. Quick question if you don’t mind. Does using multiple software solutions create an issue working alongside ‘Family Sharing’ for IOS. Can Family sharing be used with Bark, and Boomarang for IOS simultaneosly? Thank you for your time.
Google family link completely disables safe mode too.
Apps like these just make us more secretive and less likely to trust you.

You should all mind you own goddamn kids business. Kids deserve to have privacy
How can I keep my kid from messing with apps for example if I don’t want my 9 yr old texting or deleting important apps that have to do with functions
The 13 year age Copa is a bit crazy even though parents are still held responsible for things their kids do up to 18
Love you video. Which app give parents the most control if we have android devices but my daughter has an IOS? Not an IOS fan but it was a free phone, lol. Can I use Family Link if we have androids buy daughter has an Iphone? Im leaning on Qustodio or mmGaurdian because my daughters phone and tablet is an IOS device. What is your thought?
I’d be very curious how you feel about net nanny.
