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
here it is

Wish I would have realized before getting my phone. My fault for not looking into it but who would believe that there is such a thing as an unfilterable smartphone?! I mean, even in the larger community, parents want to prevent their teenagers from having access to adult content

Apple is the only one that actually filters it. android can only be filtered by 3rd party apps but that's not foolproof

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Android with Livigent is safer than a iPhone with restrictions or with Apple Configurator

So why is it that TAG says to buy an iPhone over an Android?

Its alot harder to wipe and reinstall an iPhone than an Android. If you know what your doing you can replace aos like that.
I'm not who you think I am.

Why is disabling the ability to install apps (blocking the App Store) through iPhone restrictions, disabled with TAG's Livigent profile?

Android is much easier to control when it's rooted Tag can push install/uninstall any app on your phone even with the play store closed and can bypass any app to work
iPhone the app store must be open to download new apps and Tag must find the correct category/url to make sure the app works fine

Personally, I don't trust TAG since (Qustudio) the app they use, gives anyone with access to their database, access to see every single phone call, text, website that I've used and even the timing. Not that I know anyone that had bad experience with them, it's just that I don't feel comfortable with people having access to all that information.

Disagree.
with Livigent Tag volunteers have no access to your information only the troubleshooting team.

Is there way for k9 administrator to allow access remotely? (Without giving you password)?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

You mean even though K9 doesnt offer that service if he accesses my computer through a skype kinda service he can enter it remotely?
