Location Tracking. Make sure your kids are OK even when they're not by your side. Track their location so you always know where they are.

Preset and customizable routines. Children strive when they have routines they can follow. You can set up Focus time, Family time and Bedtime routines to create a tailored schedule for each of these activities.

Safe Search and YouTube restricted. Remove explicit and harmful results from search engines and videos to ensure results are age-appropriate.

It simply doesn't work. I was told to uninstall and reinstall, no difference. Clearly there is a significant problem with this app. If you want to protect your child I cannot recommend using it. Very disappointing. I have worked in IT for many many years and if I produced something this flaky, I would pull it until I got it properly fixed.

I've dropped ScreenTime for this one, as I've now bought a year's subscription to the BitDefender Anti-virus, and I'm not really impressed. It won't let you configure whether individual Apps can be used (I'd like my kids to have access to Excel and Gmail after hours, but not PowerDirector). My son has figured out that he can turn every day into Saturday by changing the clock and getting two hours instead of one a day. This is installed on Windows laptop, Lenovo tablet and Motorola smartphone

Garbage! Restart the phone and the app stops working unless you open it up again. There's no point having it installed when it's so easy for the child to bypass it.
