Description

New! Comprehensive protection for children’s mobile devices

ESET Parental Control for Android lets you manage your child’s online activities so they can Enjoy Safer Technology® every day.

Feel good about the time your child spends on the Web — even when you’re not around.

Designed to promote collaboration between children and parents, this app features a child-friendly interface that openly displays the controls you have implemented and allows the child to request additional playtime or access to a blocked site.

At the same time, this app lets you block inappropriate apps or websites, monitor activity and set limits on time usage.

For even more peace of mind, you can locate children any time through their connected devices. You can also ensure that you stay in touch by requiring that a text message be acknowledged before the device can continue to be used.

98% of parents believe it’s their job to educate their child about online safety—but one in three have never had a conversation with them about it.* In addition to protecting children, this app is designed to help promote a continuing dialogue about Internet safety.

WHY IS THE RATING SO LOW?
Although we use ratings to help us improve our products, we also realize that the app can be reviewed by children who aren’t always happy with its features. One of its main functions is to block content and apps that might be interesting but simply aren’t age appropriate.

As the connected child devices are not visible trought the app, ESET support suggested creating a ticket. That is fine but the last answer I get was suggestion to search the FAQ. I am a bit disappointed ESET - is it there an option to rate the app without any star :-(

Hazem Attar

The concept is exactly what I am looking for, but it could not recognize any installed app on kid device! I hope you can help me in this

Kiran Padiyar

It blocks Oberview in phone. Blocks other important features like Folderview,msg.etc...making normal mobile usage itself difficult.

Jure Prajs

I am 13 year old and not a big fan of this aplication. The rating i gave is not based on my hatred of this aplication but because it is too easy to disable it.

Stopped working after a couple of weeks. Time rules don't work, kids can install apps and they do not appear on the parents' smartphones. I had high expectations, however the app did not deliver.

Ashli Turner

The ! Lock and ? Locate is not working. Other than that it is a great app. I do, however, wish you would add a feature to foward a copy of text messages and call logs.

ESET September 4, 2017

Jaka Marinsek July 22, 2017

It sucks

ESET July 26, 2017

Hello Jaka, this application was probably installed by your parents to monitor your device. If you think that the settings are too strict talk to them. Only they can change it. Thank you for understanding.

Miles Kennedy August 17, 2017

ESET August 18, 2017

good

ESET August 25, 2017

Thank you :)

Alexa Taryn July 7, 2017

I block the Google play so they can't just install anything but have to fully unlock to allow a monitored install. SUGGEST: Allow Google play. Then when they try to install, it sends a prompt to parent and on child screen that you can do a one time password or something to allow.

ESET January 16, 2017

Hello Alexa, we are working on new features. Thank you for your suggestion. We will be glad if you consider the change of the rating.

Willie C June 2, 2017

Another badly programmed app. Can't even log on via this stupid app even I can log on via their web portal just fine. This app create more problems then helpful

ESET March 30, 2016

Hello Willie, normally our app cannot be killed (most devices) by any standard task managers or 3rd party cleaners. We have tested it on many devices + we have thousands of users which are not reporting this issue. If the issue still remains, contact our support team via: http://www.eset.com/int/support/contact/ Thank you

Piotr Ludwig June 25, 2017

Very useful application! I have it installed on multiple devices, few users(kids). Users did not find way to kill application, yet. What could be even more helpful is to have this app and ESET smart Internet security together in one application instead of two different.

ESET June 25, 2017

Thank you, Piotr :)

Lizzy Firelord June 24, 2017

Even when switched off it repeatedly obscures the screen, causing troublesome delays when I'm trying to get things done

ESET June 25, 2017

Hello Lizzy, we are aware that some devices have killers of the third party apps. Some models can have system task manager “protected apps” where Parental control should be allowed ( do not kill by system task manager)

Kiera Tucker July 7, 2017

It sucks and it keeps saying that the unlocked apps are "not right for us". Completely irritating. Hate it

ESET July 10, 2017

Hello Kiera, we are sorry to hear that. If you think rules are too strict, talk to your parents. They want to protect you. You can ask them for an exception from blocking screen if you think that an app or a page is OK for you.

KKick AMartin June 3, 2017

Really needs message (SMS, MMS, FB Messenger, SnapChap, Instagram, etc.) monitoring/logging!

ESET June 5, 2017

Hello, this application monitors what sites are visited, what application run, how often, how long etc. It is a parental control application to monitor processes on children´s devices. If you have more questions, feel free to contact us on play@eset.com

Fire Ethan May 27, 2017

It is very very useful and also keeps me safe online!😉

ESET May 28, 2017

Hello Ethan, thank you for the feedback :)

Subhranil Tah July 7, 2017

ESET TEAM I have a question.. Can Your apps works on Opera Mini?

ESET July 10, 2017

Yes, Opera Mini is supported.

CRAZY TYPO May 10, 2017

Why is it so easy to bypass the lock I disabled it the day that my dad put it on for those of you who don't know how to do this just go into SAFE mode by restarting your phone while it's booting up hold vol up & vol down then go to manage apps then look for eset parental control go to permissions then deselect all ... don't worry they can't fix this safe mode was especially designed to block third party apps ... ha I'm promise you guys I'm 13 and I out smarted a company full of people... lmao ... once you deselect all restart your phone to take it out of SAFE MODE if u want ... I got to be honest dudes at ESET parental control... I was hoping for more of a challenge to disable the app yet it took me 2min ... I'm disappointed but still LMAO

ESET May 11, 2017

Hello Smart Kid, thank you for information. Our developers are already checking it :) Be aware that this application was installed by your parents, so if you uninstall it or disable it, they will be informed about it. It is not very nice when you cheat :)

Marcos Tejeda May 9, 2017

I'ts good, but I recommend an "administrator mode" for parents in children devices. Even you could create user accounts for parents an multiple children. If not, a device its configured for a single child.

Cindy Baker May 11, 2017

Keeps other apps from updating while turned on. Also doesn't let the kids close opened apps. Keeps asking for parent passcode on apps that are allowed.

ESET May 12, 2017

Hello Cindy, PIN request is a new feature, so children now cannot easily disable our application. Many parents complained that our app can be easily killed this way. We are now working on update of this feature. Thank you for you patiente.

May 8, 2017

Мразя това приложение. Отвратително е колко контрол се прилага над децата. Те просто искат повече лично простанство и лично време. Ще ви намразят ако им го приложите.

ESET May 8, 2017

Hello, we are sorry to hear that. If you think rules are too strict, talk to your parents. They want to protect you. You can ask them for an exception from blocking screen if you think that an app or a page is OK for you.

Peter Farkaš May 9, 2017

For an first look it seems working but after few month usage and after few reported bugs which eset can't still fix i get my money back.

ESET May 9, 2017

Dobry den, sme si vedomi, ze aplikacia nepracuje spravne na vsetkych zariadeniach z dovodu roznych modifikacii operacneho systemu Android. Na opravach chyb nasi vyvojari nadalej pracuju a taktiez hladaju moznosti, aby aplikacia pracovala na co najviac moznych zariadeni. Za sposobene problemy sa Vam ospraveldnujeme.

Clayton Gordiano May 8, 2017

Não funcionou bem... Não bloqueia conteúdo web

ESET May 8, 2017

Hello Clayton, could you please create a support request directly from kid´s device, open ESET Parental Control main menu and tap Customer care - Report issue. Make sure that Submit application log is selected (default). Tap Submit to send your request. An ESET Customer Care specialist will contact you at the email address you provided. Thank you.

ESET May 28, 2017

Hello Aishath, thank you for the rating :)

Anyyyyyoooooiiiinnnnnngggg

ESET May 30, 2017

Hi Pery, It is a decision of your parents. If you need anything, please discuss it with them or press “Ask parents” button in blocking screen.

FRISCO GIANT March 29, 2017

At first it was a good app until my kid Realize by restarting his phone he was able to trick the app into not blocking his phone. Therefore he was using it freely without my knowledge and during this time my phone will report that he was protected when he wasn't. Very disappointing decided to delete it and look for another app

ESET March 29, 2017

Hello, normally our app cannot be killed (most devices) by any standard task managers or 3rd party cleaners. We have tested it on many devices + we have thousands of users which are not reporting this issue.If you child was able to unistall it, please provide the name and type of his/her device and steps taken on parental@eset.com. Thanks for help.

April 19, 2017

Unable to complete the setup. After enabling the Parental Control..It gives an error "System language is different from the TTS language. This might cause unexpected behaviour. Go to TTS output settings and change the language". But unable to do the same.

ESET April 19, 2017

Hello, apologies for the issues, can you please send us support request via http://www.eset.com/int/support/contact/ and describe the problem more in detail? Maybe then you can consider change of your rating. Thank you
