ESET Parental Control

App Guard is a helpful tool for parents who want to limit their child's screen time and ensure their safety while using their devices. With this app, parents can set daily limits for gaming and restrict playtime during certain hours, as well as control which apps and games their child can access based on their age. This helps to promote a healthy balance between screen time and other activities.

Web Guard is another feature of this app that focuses on internet safety. It blocks access to inappropriate websites that may contain fake news, violence, or adult content. This gives parents peace of mind knowing that their child is not exposed to harmful online content.

Child Locator is a useful feature for parents who want to keep track of their child's whereabouts. It allows parents to locate their child's phone in case they are not answering calls or texts. Geofencing is also available, which sends notifications when the child enters or leaves a designated area on the map.

Battery Protector is a feature that helps to conserve battery life on the child's device. It limits gaming when the battery level drops below a certain level, ensuring that the child's phone is always available for communication.

Instant Block and Vacation Mode are features that give parents more control over their child's screen time. Instant Block temporarily blocks access to games and entertainment, while Vacation Mode suspends the time limit rule for a set period. This allows parents to adjust the rules based on their child's schedule and needs.

For parents who want to make changes to the app's settings, they can do so remotely through the my.eset.com website or the parent mode app on their own device. This makes it convenient for parents to manage their child's screen time and safety.

The app also offers a Devices section where parents can check if their child's device is offline or if the sound has been turned off. This helps to ensure that parents can always reach their child when needed.

One license for the app can cover multiple devices, making it a cost-effective option for families with multiple children and devices. The app also provides detailed reports on the child's device usage, giving parents insight into their child's interests and screen time habits.

The app is available in 30 languages, making it accessible to families from different backgrounds. However, the app's low rating may be due to children who are not happy with the restrictions and limitations set by their parents.

It is important to note that the app requires certain permissions, such as Device Administrator and Accessibility services, to function properly. These permissions are necessary to ensure that the app cannot be uninstalled without the parent's knowledge and to protect children from inappropriate online content.

If users have any issues or suggestions for the app, they can contact the developers at play@eset.com. Overall, App Guard is a useful tool for parents who want to manage their child's screen time and ensure their safety while using their devices.
