About ESET Parental Control

Hello! You’re just one tap away from installing ESET Parental Control - an app designed to protect children using tablets and smartphones in a child-friendly way, now supporting wearables.

Buy a PREMIUM license to get access to even more exciting features and protect your entire family.

We all know that as a parent, it is not easy to set the boundaries for your child – that also holds true for the online world. Don’t worry, you are not alone in this: did you know that 9 out of 10 parents think that their children aren’t ready to explore all mobile apps and websites? (Survey conducted by ESET in 2015).

Our goal is to give you the confidence to safeguard you children when using smartphones and tablets in this enticing digital era.

PROTECTING KIDS ON THE WEB
✓ List of most visited domains - Shows you the top visited websites
✓ Web Guard - Simply enter the child’s age, and categories such as gambling and pornography are blocked automatically
✓ Monitoring-only Mode for Websites - Gives you the option not to block content right away

LEARN WHAT APPS ARE KIDS USING AND WHEN
✓ Application Guard - Blocking — Provides you with extra peace of mind by showing suitable apps for your children based on the Google Play content rating
✓ Time-based App Control— Allows you to set maximum usage time for the given day or to prevent access to certain categories during school or bed time
✓ Monitoring-only Mode for Apps — Oversee which apps your child uses without blocking access to them
✓ Wearables Support — Respond to all notifications directly from your wrist.

CHILD-FRIENDLY COMMUNICATION
✓ Child-centered Interface and Communication — Our child-friendly interface uses respectful tone and each time explains to your kid what is happening and why
✓ Unblock Request — Because good parenting is a two-way street, if a website or an app is blocked, your or maximum daily time budget is over, kid can send you a request to unblock it. It will arrive in your inbox, as a notification on my.eset.com, on your smartphone, tablet or smart watch.

REACH YOUR KIDS ANY TIME
✓ Parental Message — Children might be busy sometimes and forget to let you know where they happen to be or what’s keeping them. Contact them using onscreen message which they have to read to continue using the device.
✓ Child Locator — Not sure of their whereabouts? Find your kid’s location from anywhere via my.eset.com, or directly from your smartphone or tablet

WHY IS THE RATING SO LOW?

Set setting as inappropriate app on redmi4x , but still my son's can access to the setting and then disable the control... Please fix it or give my money back Contacted them, through email and support.... No reply.... It is technically useless, if the control can be switched off without pin Auto start can be turned off without password. Worse, somehow accessibility can be turned off without password... Totally useless... I thought I have control all this while, but now realized my kid have had no restrictions all these time I demand a refund

Q70%
by Q####:

Got emails from the system every few days telling me it is not configured optimally, I go in and change, it indicates that all is good and few days later it's the same. After 3 month of trying I moved to other app and they didn't want to refund me for the left period I had left on the yearly subscription

Q70%
by Q####:

Every time the child switches off his/her phone or runs out of battery power ESET Parental Control has to be restarted, re-authorized, etc. So, without you knowing, your son or daughter will be enjoying their games with this app installed.

Nefunguje jak má. Poloha se neukazuje, i když jsem koupil dceři data a čas strávený na tel. taky ne..

Q70%
by Q####:

Hey I just installed the free version of ESET Parental Control to try it first. But after installing it on my daughter's tab she couldn't hear any sound while watching her favorite movies. Even if you press the volume key up or down it just instruct us to adjust the volume through the settings. But under sound settings the volume level is full but still there's no sound coming out on the device.

by Q####:

No parental will work if child know about restarting the tab in safe mode. Any way to protect this?

Verry useful apps. Help control the usage of my child device

Q70%
by Q####:

This app is great... if you don't want you or your child to ever have access to the phone. Vacation mode does not work. Allowing time does not work. The app does not sync between the parent phone and the child phone. I cannot recommend this app in it's current state. It seemed to work so I bought the subscription and almost immediately it stopped working.

My 12 yo son was able to uninstall the app. Disappointing

Q70%
by Q####:

There is a bug where it will start spamming your email requesting for access every minute. I have to uninstall and delete the profile for it to stop.

Q70%
by Q####:

Всё, чего мне нужно от приложения для контроля за использованием устройства моим ребенком, делает очень хорошо. Please add an option to register more than one device for one kid - with possibility to share time limits, naturally.

Would be great if I could monitor the kids WhatsApp

R70%
by R####:

On a Samsung tab Switch Android 7.1.1 it does not work. They can go to settings and turn off parental controls, and then press the show all running apps button and close them all. App control does not list the settings app so I cannot disable settings. I'll change rating once it's fixed. Works great on an older phone.

Like the app. BUT I bought a lisence for a year more than a month ago and still have not received the key. I have emailed numerous times to ask for assistance and still have not received any form of support or help. Bad bad bad!!! Want my money back

Q70%
by Q####:

It helps me control the time my kids use their tablets and also the apps they install. The free version cover those basic needs I have. I have the same app installed on my phone so I get instant request for more time or to review new apps. I think ESET is a trusty company.

U70%
by U####:

I like the app and all ESET products but with this one somehow my 12y old son found easily workaround. I set everything as I want and when I check later for some apps like uoutube there are no restrictions. Lik if he uninstall and install again.

Hlasenia o potrebe pridania PC ako spravcu zariadenia sa este sporadicky na sledovanych zariadeniach objavuju (vyp/zap). Toto nastavenie je vsak uz aktivovane. Staci zrusit a aplikacia naplno funguje

It's really great application for controlling kids activities. They hate it.

A70%

On a Huawei simple to bypass from permissions settings, worthless but paid premium!

Q70%
by Q####:

Never could get it to work fully across devices, even with a premium trial.

G70%
by G####:

My kid can disable the service on his Huawei P10 lite and then uninstall the application. How can I prevent this? His phone does support only one user who is also device admin... Ok, everything seems ok with the newer version. Now when trying to disable parental service the phone asks for the parental pin. Thanks

Nice App.

Q70%
by Q####:

Login does not work. Keeps showing an error message that there is no internet connection. Internet is working fine on the 3 devices i have tested. LE(Info Update) : Tested again a little bit later and it would seem that application was impacted by some temporary incident. It seems to work now. Deployed on three "child" devices and basic functions are working.

Q70%
by Q####:

So far the best parental control app yet and we have tried 4 or 5. So happy with this one and it works all the time. Unlike some others that didn't work when connected to wifi. Another one my child was able to turn his phone off, turn it back on and quickly disable it before it could connect. Not this one. Worth every penny.

Q70%
by Q####:

The concept is exactly what I am looking for, but it could not recognize any installed app on kid device! I hope you can help me in this

V70%
by V####:

Stopped working after a couple of weeks. Time rules don't work, kids can install apps and they do not appear on the parents' smartphones. I had high expectations, however the app did not deliver.

Q70%
by Q####:

As the connected child devices are not visible trought the app, ESET support suggested creating a ticket. That is fine but the last answer I get was suggestion to search the FAQ. I am a bit disappointed ESET - is it there an option to rate the app without any star :-(

B70%
by B####:

I am 13 year old and not a big fan of this aplication. The rating i gave is not based on my hatred of this aplication but because it is too easy to disable it.

Q70%
by Q####:

The ! Lock and ? Locate is not working. Other than that it is a great app. I do, however, wish you would add a feature to foward a copy of text messages and call logs.
