For Android

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

I had Qustodio on Android. It doesn't have loopholes, it has huge gaping holes.

Sites that livigent [understandably] blocks, would slip through with them.

I'm on netspark and I'm very happy with it... All the loopholes that I've found in other filters are non existant here.

Does anyone know of a free, reliable computer filter that restricts access at certain times of the day? AFAIK, only K9 does, and that's what I'm using, but it causes terrible problems. Every once in once in a while, as soon as I connect to the internet, the BSOD comes up and the computer restarts, saying that the was some type of registry error with bckd.sys (which is K9). It's really annoying, and I'd really love to delete it, but I can't find anything else with time-based restrictions.
Brevity may be the soul of wit, but floridity is its spirit.

Thats not called a loophole that has to do with the way categories work and no filter is perfect. I've been using Qustodio for more than 18 months and am very happy with it.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Agreed.
Livigent is "more perfect" than Qustodio though.

Seems that Qustodio is not blocking or tracking anything on my phone when using Chrome incognito. Is there a way to change that?
