About this app

We know how hard it is to set boundaries for your kids on the internet. Our goal is to give you the confidence that they are protected while using smartphones and tablets.


1. Given the opportunity, most kids would be glued to their phones at every waking hour. With App Guard, you can set up the daily limit for gaming and limit playtime at night or during school hours. It automatically controls apps and games and allows kids to use only the age-appropriate ones.

2. When kids are online, they can come across web pages with fake news or violent or adult content. Web Guard ensures your kids’ internet safety by keeping them away from inappropriate pages.

3. If your child didn’t come from school yet and doesn’t pick up the phone, Child Locator locates your child’s phone’s current location. Additionally, Geofencing allows you to get the notification if your child enters or steps out of the default area on the map.

4. Do you worry about your child’s phone’s battery dying and not being able to contact them? Set up Battery Protector that will limit playing games if the battery level drops below the default level.

5. Does your child have a crucial task to finish, and you are afraid they will play on their phone instead? Use Instant Block for a temporary ban on games and entertainment. If your child has some free time, you can also temporarily suspend the time limit rule through Vacation Mode.

6. Are the rules too strict? Has a newly installed app been blocked? Children can ask for an exception, and parents can instantly approve or deny requests.

7. Do you want to change the rules settings? Sign in to my.eset.com on a PC or mobile phone and change them remotely. If you, as a parent, also use an android smartphone, install our app on your phone in parent mode, and you will receive instant notifications.

8. Can’t reach your kid via phone? Check the Devices section to see if they have turned off the sound or are offline.

9. Do you have kids who have more smartphones or tablets? One license can cover multiple devices, so your whole family is protected.

10. Do you want to know your kid’s interests and how long they have spent using their phone? Reports will give you the detailed information.

11. Language barrier? Don’t worry, our app communicates with kids in 30 languages.

WHY IS THE APP RATING LOW?

Decent app. Setup is easy. All the features work properly. Not too intrusive. Not too expensive. Slightly awkward interface but you get used to it. Would be handy to have different time limits for different apps but you can set particular apps to be time limited or not quickly and easily. Locator function works well. Web filter seems to work, too.

This app used to work really well, I have been using it for years. Around 10 days ago the "instant block" feature stopped working properly. I raised this with support, followed request to submit log files for all devices etc. The ticket got "escalated" a few days ago and I have heard nothing since. No indication of whether the issue is actually being addressed or just ignored.

Hello Paul, if you reported the issue, probably it was forwarded to analyze to our development team and will be fixed shortly. Apologies for the issue and thank you for your patience.

In general the app has been helpful. However, of late it has been more faulty which is frustrating for both my child and myself. Locator is wrong even when refreshed, have to repeatedly enter time increase for it to work, time increases doesn't always reflect what was entered. I think it's ridiculous that the app does not allow parents to be alerted of all inappropriate contents accessed. Lowest setting allows parents to be informed if their child accesses 50+ inappropriate websites per week.
