Any child who uses the internet is at risk of being targeted by an online predator.

Another way to safeguard children is to use these monitoring and parental control apps to track and manage their internet usage and protect them from harmful content.


Below are top recommendations for parental control apps to keep your family safe, listed in no particular order. Please do your research, check the software compatibility, pricing, reviews, and coverage for your family’s unique needs.
