Wind Down: Evening Rant #10

So just a recap on the main topic!

Protect the kids online folks!!

Here is that list of software I promised:

Qustodio (paid and free):
For use on the computer and mobile devices!
Use to monitor use and block/monitor wed content
(Can be coupled with G Cloud for the photo and sms sync, I'm going to check out Blacklist Plus to see if it will allow me to set the Allowed Contacts)

Life360 (paid and free):
Use to track family members and also to send out group messages

Kytephone (free):
Use to restrict apps, locate, and also sync photos.
Know who is being texted and set contact list that can only be sent to and received from

KidRead (free):
Use this a reward system for app usage.
Gain points for apps you set as educational.
Points are detracted for apps that you deem entertainment.
Can restrict app usage as well as time limit

G Cloud Back Up (paid and free):
Sync pics, sms, and files (and more) to a cloud online that you ca access from the computer

RangerPro (paid and free)
Web browser you can set remotely online
Restrict access to categories as well as specific websites
Allows you to create a Whitelist of places that can be accessed (can replace the stock Internet app)

Kytetime (free trial/ paid):
Does what Kytephone does minus the sms and photo capabilities.
BUT, give you reports and allows you to set school/bed times where the child can or cannot access the apps you choose. (I would say you could use this one and couple it with Ranger Pro, Blacklist Plus, and G Cloud if you want the Kytephone experience, but would like the reports and ability to set restrictions on individual apps)

So there you go!!
