Re: Parental control app for iOS

[Stephen Chape]

Hi Gary.
May not be helpful to Peter, but your recommendation has prompted me to order 
from the Book Depository.
Not for me (as I am a grandparent), but for my step-daughter who has issues 
with teenage kids.
I just hope she will read it and apply it.
It may act as backup to my advice already dispensed (but largely ignored).

Sorry NOT MAC RELATED … but in a way it is.

Hi Peter
A tough one these days

We use 
"regardless", 
"nevertheless" 
and 
"you've already said that"

As our default app.

Probably not very helpful to what your asking - but very effective non the less 
when used often and consistently as a response to children's arguing or oral 
provocations.

See pg 63 "parent in control" by g Bodenhamer

Parental control app for iOS

[Peter Crisp]

Good morning, I have the kids with varying to nil degree of compliance with 
verbal requests to limit screen use and also what type of communications are 
appropriate. I'm after an app that allows scheduling of total screen time, 
ability to limit specific app access time, bed time limits etc. I've got the 
Ourpact app installed and it allows remote and immediate manual freezing of iOS 
devices (good for instant response at times of belligerence) but as I'm using 
the free version, the more sophisticated features are pay extras.

A colleague suggested Family Zone but this provides a replacement modem to 
regulate traffic within the house but with a Time Capsule for backups that 
won't work for me.

It would be good too to have some control over MBP activity but not critical.

Does anyone have suggestions of an app that does this with easy user inputs?  I 
could go for the Ourpact Premium at $10/month but it's not got MBP coverage.

Regards
