For iPhone/iPad/iOs
Check out their quite easy and powerful content restrictions.
Suggestion: Have someone else have the password (or half and half with a spouse) and do the following:
Lock installing apps + remove browser + add apps you need (possible rules: no games, no sports, no entertainment, etc.).
[Occasionally an app will have a built in browser/or need to access a certain website - just go back in to settings (with password) and add that website].
There is time restrictions and more features too.
(May not be enough for teenagers - consult your own advisers - this solution sure beats doing nothing and there is no excuse)

Pricing info may not be accurate and is only on full filters (not email only), feel free to correct, and does not include installation costs. I am working on a comprehensive comparison list

If you work on the stock market that every millisecond makes a difference, then you are right.
Otherwise you won't be affected....
I was affected by netnanny on my phone. Can you confirm this is different?

Absolutely

I definitely see a difference when it's on from when it's off. Most of the time it'starts not bad, but sometimes it's a real PITA.

No. why would they monitor your activity?
And no, your wife can't be the administrator, but you can call in their helpline nearly 24 hours a day and customize your profile, so technically you're your own administrator.

Maybe this would help in the house but once your kids go to a friend's wifi or graduate to devices with data I don't think this would do anything. Am I missing something?

Nobody is looking at them, it's the system monitoring and filtering your activity
