Review – FamiSafe App for iPhone

Location Tracking

One of the biggest fears for parents is when their kids are away from their sight. Also, no parents can always keep them in front of their eyes all the time. The only solution to this problem is to have live tracking on their device. FamiSafe offers this feature, and it works flawlessly. All you need to do is to enable the tracking feature within the app, and you can see where your kid is in real-time. This is particularly helpful for parents when their kids are either playing outside or when they travel long distances for their school.

Location History

Another concern for parents is to make sure their kids don’t fall into the wrong company. In most cases, kids go on the wrong path when they hang out with the wrong people. With the location history feature of the app, you can know where your kid was at any particular time. If you find anything suspicious, you can talk with them and sort it out.

Geofences

This is one of the most innovative features of the app. It allows parents to mark specific locations as safe. It can be your home or school. When the kid is away from the areas marked as safe, parents receive an alert. You can add multiple geofences based on the travel plans of your kids.

Content Filtering

Another concern for parents is the content available on the internet. No matter how smart Google or YouTube is, they fail at an individual level to filter content. Something okay for them, may not be suitable for parents. Thankfully, the FamiSafe app allows you to set different conditions for filtering content. The app already has a massive database of websites with adult or gambling content, but you can also manually add other websites that you may find not suitable for your kids. In regard to YouTube, you can connect to your kids’ YouTube account and see what videos he/she is viewing, what channels they have subscribed to, and then act accordingly.

Screen Time

Features discussed above are more of tracking things, but you can also set restrictions to limit the usage of the smartphone. You can restrict specific apps or set a global timer for smartphone usage. This is one of the easiest ways to avoid iPhone or iPad addiction. On top of that, you can also schedule the Screen Time feature for specific hours like school time, study time, or sleeping time.

Pricing

The app isn’t free, mainly because of the hard work invested in developing it. There are multiple subscription options available on the App Store. Depending on your requirements, you can subscribe to it.
