With its great support and raft of features for a wide range of platforms, Qustodio is undoubtedly one of the best parental control solutions around. Qustodio's experts are on hand to simply guide you through the installation process. In fact, you don’t even need a problem before you place a call. With Care Plus, you can book a call at any time and talk to a Qustodio expert to help you solve problems you encounter when using the app. Qustodio (opens in new tab) also boasts excellent customer support, including one-to-one help for customers paying for the Care Plus package. You can also filter content and apps, set time limits (which is a great way of ensuring they spend less time on their phones), and track your child’s location.

It can alert you if your child visits specific websites, such as a file-sharing site or public chat room.

Its Activity Timeline shows you a breakdown of your child's online activity, including the websites they visit, social media posts, and apps. Qustodio has an easy-to-use intuitive interface that makes it easy for parents to gain some control over what their children are accessing online. If you do opt for the paid-for version, you'll also get SMS monitoring, social media features, and per-app controls. If you don’t have the budget for the paid version, the free app remains one of the most comprehensive parental control tools around, enabling you to set rules and time schedules, as well as block pornography and other unsuitable content. One of the best parental control apps we’ve tested, Qustodio is a great all-rounder with a fantastic free offering that is available across Mac, Android, iOS, Kindle, and Nook platforms.
