Securly Home works with school-owned devices only. Parents can:
View a real-time activity feed
Customize rules specifically for school devices at home
Receive notifications about concerning activity (e.g. bullying, self-harm)
Limit screen time from anywhere with the pause button
Determine when the internet is offline with offline scheduling

Ratings and reviews

Terrible User Experience!!!! It hasn't worked right since the day we bought it. Setting it up was pretty easy and straightforward but it doesn't work like it's supposed to. The activity doesn't show until days later if at all. It has also locked up frequently and I have to reset it by unplugging it. I've also had to reset the specific devices and re-add them. That'll work briefly and then the problem starts up again. Contacting support is pointless. They have no chat or phone contact available.

While the app is easier to use than similar apps (e.g., Qustodio), it is just as useless. The pause internet feature makes it harder to use Safari, but my kids just laughed as they showed me how easy it was for them to can continue to access YouTube and other internet based content through other apps. If I want any real control, I have to go to Parental Controls on the iPad itself.

This app sucks. You get emails that show one result and "9+ more" of sites, searches or videos your kids are looking for, but clicking on the link to view the 9+ more and see what else they are doing gives you a blank activity feed with "Looks like a server error. Try again later." Rendering the whole thing useless.
