About this app

We know how hard it is to set boundaries for your kids on the internet. Our goal is to give you the confidence that they are protected while using smartphones and tablets.


1. Given the opportunity, most kids would be glued to their phones at every waking hour. With App Guard, you can set up the daily limit for gaming and limit playtime at night or during school hours. It automatically controls apps and games and allows kids to use only the age-appropriate ones.

2. When kids are online, they can come across web pages with fake news or violent or adult content. Web Guard ensures your kids’ internet safety by keeping them away from inappropriate pages.

3. If your child didn’t come from school yet and doesn’t pick up the phone, Child Locator locates your child’s phone’s current location. Additionally, Geofencing allows you to get the notification if your child enters or steps out of the default area on the map.

4. Do you worry about your child’s phone’s battery dying and not being able to contact them? Set up Battery Protector that will limit playing games if the battery level drops below the default level.

5. Does your child have a crucial task to finish, and you are afraid they will play on their phone instead? Use Instant Block for a temporary ban on games and entertainment. If your child has some free time, you can also temporarily suspend the time limit rule through Vacation Mode.

6. Are the rules too strict? Has a newly installed app been blocked? Children can ask for an exception, and parents can instantly approve or deny requests.

7. Do you want to change the rules settings? Sign in to my.eset.com on a PC or mobile phone and change them remotely. If you, as a parent, also use an android smartphone, install our app on your phone in parent mode, and you will receive instant notifications.

8. Can’t reach your kid via phone? Check the Devices section to see if they have turned off the sound or are offline.

9. Do you have kids who have more smartphones or tablets? One license can cover multiple devices, so your whole family is protected.

10. Do you want to know your kid’s interests and how long they have spent using their phone? Reports will give you the detailed information.

11. Language barrier? Don’t worry, our app communicates with kids in 30 languages.

WHY IS THE APP RATING LOW?

Was alarmed to see this is being discontinued, then relieved to see it will continue as part of my multi-device premium subscription. Hopefully there is some way to migrate all my settings from the standalone product, guess I have a year to figure it out.

Hi Joe, the settings are automatically migrated to the new devices when ESET Parental Control is activated with the same parental account credentials.

I would not recommend this app from personal experience. It is most suited for small children, but otherwise, I'd recommend finding a different app. As a 13 y/o with this specific app installed, I have figured out many different ways to bypass or even uninstall the app. Also, everything is under one time limit, causing stress. From a couple of friends' experiences, it ruined their relationship with their parents as they no longer saw them as parents but prison wardens. Also, is a complete virus.

Hi, keep in mind that Android is an open platform, meaning a child with advanced technical skills can uninstall any third-party app. Time limit adjustments can be applied to individual apps or the entire device, but only parents have the ability to make these changes. If you'd like to modify any restrictions, please talk to your parents about it.

This app is a beautiful one. Big kudos to the team. I noticed however that when I hid the app in the freezer in my child's phone as a way to see if it can be bypassed, I couldn't detect his phone in my own. While the app cannot be uninstalled by my child, it can be hidden from being used. Can that be worked on? Such that even if it is hidden, it can still control the phone.
