What the Qustodio parental control app is for
Qustodio Parental Control App is a parental control tool for managing what a child does on a phone, tablet or computer. A parent installs it on their own device and pairs it with the Kids app on each child's device. The listing says the pair works across Android, iOS and other major operating systems.
It suits parents who want to set time limits, filter content and see where their children are. Most of its controls are set from the parent's device.
Limiting daily screen time on a child's devices
Parents set a daily allowance of screen time for each linked device. When the allowance is used up, the device is blocked automatically. The listing describes this as the core of the app.
Screen time limits can be combined with the app and game blocking described below, so a child cannot simply switch to a different app once the day's time is up.
Finding a child's phone with GPS tracking
The family locator sends the parent the GPS location of the child's phone. The listing presents it as a way to know where a child is.
This feature works through the Kids app on the child's device, so the child's phone needs the companion app installed to be tracked.
Alerts for searches, messages and social media
The app's AI-powered alerts watch for suspicious browsing and search activity and for harmful SMS and social messages. The parent receives an alert when one is flagged. The listing also lists social media monitoring as a separate function.
Web activity and blocked website attempts are reported as alerts too, so a parent can see what a child tried to open, not only what was allowed.
Blocking games, apps, websites and explicit content
Parents can block games, individual apps and whole categories of websites, including porn and gambling sites. The listing says the content filter covers these categories.
Safe search can be enforced, which means search results are filtered on the child's device without the child changing the search settings.
