Salfeld Child Control

Salfeld Computer GmbH

About this app

Salfeld’s Child Control can provide safe filtered Internet with parental control features, once you activate the app with your account details from Salfeld. Child Control runs both on Android phones and tablets and filtering can be tuned from any PC with any OS connected to the Internet.

The App can be used up to 30 days for free. After this period a licence is needed. See our homepage for more information.

Important notes:
This app uses the Device Administrator permission. This will prevent a user from uninstalling Salfeld Child Control App without your knowledge.

Salfeld Child Control uses AccessibilityService API to collect data about websites viewed through browsers on your child's device. It is also used to prevent the child from removing permissions without a parent’s authentication.

Optionally, the app uses the VpnService API to provide a system-wide web filter. This VPN mode works purely locally on the device and does not reroute personal data through external servers.

Ratings and reviews

By far the best Parental Control app there is -works across Android and Windows with all the options a parent needs to manage your childs device whilst also allowing them to use their phones/computer for homework. I tried Qustodio and Norton Family and both fail -both by lack of features and a clear 'can't be bothered' attitude to the software with poor UI and very very slow refresh. Norton takes 5+ minutes to update a setting on the childs device. Salfeld does it in seconds.

perfect fit! Got the trial for my 13 year old and ended up purchasing. it's easy to use and allows me to turn his devices off and on as well as specific app/programs. contacted support once with a question and they were quick and thorough with their answer. highly recommend!

The application is brilliant. After a month trial, we decided it's worth buying. Works like a charm on our children's Android and Windows devices. Don't be fooled by the relatively low rating. If you actually read them, you can notice there are a lot of kids giving it one star because it does what it's supposed to do. You get to use it for free for a month with all features on and without any nasty ads.
