Kidslox Parental Control App

Kidslox parental control and screen time tracker is a secure parental control app that makes it easy for parents to control screen time, track their child's location, block apps, and monitor app usage.

Control Screen Time

The Kidslox Parental Control app includes a range of tools for monitoring and regulating screen time to help parents manage their kids and teens phone use in line with their desired parenting style:

✔ Instant lock - lock your kids phones (android and iphone) remotely, at the touch of a button
✔ Screen time schedules - set fixed times when your child can use their smartphone, e.g. set a bedtime curfew when the phones switch off
✔ Daily limits - allow your family free access to their phones until they reach a daily limit of screen time you set
✔ Screen time rewards - give your children extra screen time for completing chores, homework or other tasks
✔ Usage monitoring - keep track of the way your kids use their phones, see app usage, sites visited, screen time and more...
✔ Custom modes - choose which apps to block at different times to encourage appropriate behaviour, e.g. allow educational apps during homework but games only during free time
✔ Adjust time - it's easy to increase or decrease daily limits on a one off basis in response to your child's behaviour

Location tracking

✔ Know your family's location via GPS tracking
✔ Get notifications when your child enters or leaves geo-fenced zones you set
✔ See location history

Content blocking

✔ Filter pornography and other adult content to give your child a safe browser experience
✔ Block in-app purchases
✔ Lock safe search on for Google search and other search engines
✔ Full internet blocker

Family Parental Controls On All Platforms

✔ Download Kidslox to protect and manage screen time on all your devices
✔ Mobile versions for Android devices and iPhones and iPads
✔ Desktop versions for Windows and Mac
✔ Online, browser based access to controls - turn off junior's phone from your laptop

Every family is different, in fact every child is different, which is why a modern parent or guardian needs a flexible tool that lets you set boundaries suitable for your child.

Kidslox offers several approaches in one simple to use app:
For in-the-moment control, use the instant lock.
For establishing positive patterns, set daily screen time schedules.
When you think your child is ready for a little more freedom, set daily limits. Minimal parental involvement, but a hard cap on screen usage.
For many teens it's appropriate to allow entirely free device use, but still monitor the apps and sites they're going on.
Of course each of these approaches can be combined and used with other features like the family locator to create the custom approach that's just right for your family.

To use Kidslox you will need to download the app onto each device you wish to control.
One paid account allows you to control up to 10 devices.

Ratings and reviews

This app never works when you want it to. The locking system shut down most things and doesn't regonize that no screen time has been used. This app sucks. It's guaranteed that if you use another software/app, you will be much happier and more satisfied. The system is so easy to cheat on Andriod. Useless app, to be honest. It uses a lot of data and people can unlock the app on Ipad via fingerprint. It also once made her reboot my phone 5 times in a DAY

Do not get this app! If your child's phone is an android they can override kidslox by turning off the app in the accessibility setting by opening it as a pop up window. After I sent 2 videos to Kidslox showing how my child was able to do this, they said that this was apparently a KNOWN issue for quite some time now and that they had no resolution. I demanded a refund and they went cold. No response via email or chat. What's a team of app developers doing if a child can break into the app?

One small problem, other than that, it's a great app... I call my daughters device "Amelia"... and sometimes I get a notification telling me that "Amelia has been unresponsive for 24 hours". This should be said in a different way such as "The device 'Amelia' has been unresponsive for 24 hours" Edit: This small issue has been fixed, it now says The device "Amelia"... top 5* app. well done team.
