Must-have parental control and monitoring apps

Parents across America continue to worry about the apps their children and teens download. Here are two apps that can give parents peace of mind.

WebWatcher:
• Allows parents to monitor a device discretely.
• Scans all recorded data and highlights items deemed to be risky.
• Makes recorded data available for parental review at any time.

Screen Time:
• Allows parents to set time limits on apps.
• Gives parents the ability to block apps entirely or override all restrictions temporarily, for a “free play” period.
• Includes a pause button parents can press on their own smartphones. The button “pauses” their kids’ devices remotely.
