Here the provider still has to do some detailed work, even if it is usually clear what is meant by the reports. What comes to mind once in a while: not all texts are translated correctly, at least when I tried it in my own native language (German). The automatic detection of problematic web content works quite reliably with Qustodio. Also, with children the communication is always clear: you may, you may not, the time of use is over and so on. Parents receive detailed information about what the children are doing on their smartphone, both by e-mail and as a direct notification on the parent's device.

Qustodio is not stingy with notifications, on the contrary. Entire areas can also be excluded, for example, if you do not want to monitor the child's location in general. Individual rules and exceptions can be defined for all areas of Qustodio.

You can configure the boundaries for your child from your smartphone, but it's more convenient on the computer. SMS can only be monitored in terms of content, but not completely blocked. In order to monitor the social media accounts, the login data is necessary. Individual apps and websites can either be activated or blocked as a whole, or their use can be monitored. The parents can determine for each area of Qustodio what the children are allowed to do and what not.

In order for Qustodio to perform its protective function properly, some permissions are required on the child's smartphone. Qustodio lets you know what your child is being exposed to online. You have the choice between the three variants Small ($54.95 per year) Medium ($96.95 per year) and Large ($137.95 per year) for five, ten or fifteen devices. Qustodio can be used either free of charge or with the Premium Package, which includes more options. The setup is done quickly and easily, set your email address and password, that's it. The app is available for Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Kindle and we decided to have an in-depth look at the Android version. There are quite a number of child protection apps on the market and Qustodio is among the most popular.
