In this age of Internet, it is normal for every parent to be concerned about the Web activities of their children. If you also feel the need to become a cyber-parent, then here is now an app designed for the purpose of monitoring your kids’ activities on their iPhones. Whether you consider it spying or having concern for your children, the TeenSafe app solves your purpose in a positive way. However, let us see how it performs and benefits parents.
Usefulness
TeenSafe is a parenting app that may help you keep your kids under control while they are very ignorant about your monitoring their actions on smartphones. The app not only lets you access their text messages, but also allows you to keep a track on the deleted messages. Now, your kids may not be able to hide their text exchanged with others. TeenSafe is also helpful when you want to monitor their call logs, contact address book, andmessages, interactions and feeds on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
Apart from this, you may access their Web searches and history to know the types of websites they have been visiting. This app lets you track your child’s movement so you may ensure that they are safe and secure. However, the app is also under criticism by some people who feel that even parents should not intrude unfairly into the lives of their children. Thus, there are mixed perspectives on receiving the actual benefits of this app.
Value for money
If you find it right using this app to monitor the cell phone usage by your kids, then it may be worth downloading it for a free trial of a week. Else, you may prefer to discuss issues personally with your children and find out if they need any help. Otherwise, it is doubtful if paying around $15 for a month’s access to its services may offer much value to parents. While you can cancel the use of its services whenever you want, it is better to purchase it if you really intend to use it.
Appearance
While the TeenSafe app has a simple design, it has important features that help in tracking violent, provocative or similar type of content that your child is being exposed to. Still, many users may not find it appealing as far as its clunky and non-classy looks are concerned. You may not like to go with the appearance of this app, but more with its helpfulness.
Performance
This app is a sophisticated yet complicated tool that is compatible with iPhones and Android smartphones. As of now, it does not work on BlackBerry and Windows phones. However, you can use the TeenSafe Web app. This app uses GPS to track constantmovement and location of your kids in an effective manner. The basic tracking features of this app work nicely. With its 256-bit (Secure Socket Layer) SSL-based technology, you can access the iPhone of your kid very smoothly, without doing a jailbreak. Thus, it can be termed as a safe and reliable tracking app to use.
Reputation
As the app has been designed by a concerned mom named Ameeta Jain, you will find it being popular among many users who share similar thoughts as hers. Considering the user feedback, it can be said that the app can be easily used and the service team is supportive if there are any issues. On the other hand, a few users have found that this app still needs better program setup to raise its benefits. Thus, it holds decent reputation at the moment.
While the TeenSafe app may not look very impressive, it offers effective performance and usability. It is recommended for those users who are serious about monitoring their kids’ activities and whereabouts.However, it is not worth purchasing this expensive app if you do not believe in its concept.
