When was the last time parents could put filtering software on the family PC in the living room to protect their kids from inappropriate information on the web? The good old days—whew. Many parents today firmly reject electronic devices like laptops, tablets, and cell phones. However, for some, personal technology might feel both inevitable and terrifying, especially if school tasks require internet connection or if you’re split between households.
We should tackle this problem directly. iMOM is here to assist you in selecting the most suitable parental control app for your family’s requirements. Consider these five, in addition to a few more apps tailored to specific needs. To help you choose which one is best for your family, many offer free trials.
MamaBear
In order to help parents communicate, find, organize, and safeguard their children, MamaBear has created a private family communication hub.
This app was hand-picked because MamaBear has so many useful features, such the ability to share family news, keep tabs on social media, track where your teen driver is, and alert you if they are speeding or in a car with a speeding driver.
Bark
Bark scans your messages across 24+ platforms to identify instances of cyberbullying, explicit material, sexual predators, vulgarity, thoughts of suicide, and more.

Reasons for its inclusion: Notifications are sent to parents solely in the event that something inappropriate happens on the internet. Building trust and an open channel of communication with your child while sparing you the labor of reading every social contact they have is possible with this method.
Qustodio
You can keep an eye on, manage, and secure your child’s smartphone using this software.
Reasons for its inclusion: In private browsing mode or not, Qustodio still restricts apps or inappropriate information. Additional features include the ability to limit your child’s app and game usage, see their call and text history, create a blacklist of contacts, and keep tabs on their YouTube activity.
