For Android
https://truple.io/androidfilter.html (Free android filter)

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

looking to get a new phone.  I want apps, but have no need for a browser. What is the best phone to get where I can easily lock out a browser?
I realize that some apps have built in browsers. If that can be disables, too great.

The difference between TAG and Meshimer, Geder etc.

Tag is an independent Org.

Geder allows Apple Podcasts as well, Meshimer would be the only one not to allow it since it falls under their no-news policy.

May be. But it's still not an independent Org. TAG will allow any content that you request.

Gentech is having an issue with target.com (starting) today affecting all customers. You can call them to fix.

What's the current best AppLock for Android. Looking to block all apps besides Google voice. I know that this field is constantly changing so was wondering if anyone has any input. Thanks!

Hi All - anyone here has experience with SafeKiddo http://safekiddo.com/en_us/ on Mobile? I have it on Windows Phone - great, can block browsers, Apps etc. Seems well baked in, have not found any other program for Windows Phone..

I want to know feedback on it for other cell phones.

Also - anyone have guidance on a good filter for BlackBerry?

TIA!

The last time I had the Applock app by Domobile, ended up uninstalling it. It was so easy to uninstall. Waste of time

I use their full filter on another device and am happy with it. Looking for a free (or at least cheap) simple AppLock that does the job and does it well
