Parental Control SecureKids: Your digital guardian for your child's Android usage.

Overview

Parental Control SecureKids is an ideal solution for parents seeking to manage their childā€™s digital activities on Android devices. This comprehensive tool offers a range of features that enable parents to monitor and control their child's smartphone usage, ensuring that they are using their device safely and responsibly.

Initial Setup

Upon first using the app, users will need to identify themselves as either a parent or a child. This determines the level of control and visibility they will have within the app. Parents gain access to an extensive list of options that allow them to oversee their childā€™s activity from their own smartphone.

Features

Parents have the ability to restrict their children's access to specific websites and apps, ensuring they are engaging with age-appropriate content. Monitoring calls is also possible, allowing parents to view the details of incoming and outgoing calls at any time.

The real-time location tracking feature provides parents with peace of mind by displaying the current location of their child on a map. This feature negates the need for parents to physically handle their child's device to know where they are.

Additional Controls

Parental Control SecureKids also offers the option to set up personalized alarms and notifications that keep parents informed about their childā€™s smartphone usage habits. The app provides a comprehensive usage statistics report, enabling parents to understand if their child is spending too much time on their phone and which apps they are using most frequently.

The sophisticated alarm system allows parents to set up audio alerts on their child's phone, even if they do not have physical access to the device.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, Parental Control SecureKids is a robust app that helps parents to effectively manage their childā€™s digital activities. It enables parents to block unwanted websites and apps, restrict calls from unknown numbers or specific contacts, and monitor their childā€™s location in real-time. All of these features come together to provide parents with a comprehensive tool for ensuring their child's safety and responsible smartphone usage.

Cons

* Performance improvements.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • CALL_PHONE: Allows an application to initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS: Allows an application to see the number being dialed during an outgoing call with the option to redirect the call to a different number or abort the call altogether.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • WRITE_CONTACTS: Allows an application to write the user's contacts data.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BATTERY_STATS: Allows an application to collect battery statistics
  • BIND_APPWIDGET: Allows an application to tell the AppWidget service which application can access AppWidget's data. The normal user flow is that a user picks an AppWidget to go into a particular host, thereby giving that host application access to the private data from the AppWidget app. An application that has this permission should honor that contract.
  • CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to change network connectivity state.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • DISABLE_KEYGUARD: Allows applications to disable the keyguard if it is not secure.
  • EXPAND_STATUS_BAR: Allows an application to expand or collapse the status bar.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INSTALL_SHORTCUT: Allows an application to install a shortcut in Launcher.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES: Allows an application to call killBackgroundProcesses(String).
  • PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS: Allows an application to collect component usage statistics
  • READ_LOGS: Allows an application to read the low-level system log files.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • RESTART_PACKAGES: This constant was deprecated in API level 8. The restartPackage(String) API is no longer supported.
  • SET_WALLPAPER: Allows applications to set the wallpaper.
  • SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS: Allows applications to set the wallpaper hints.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.
  • com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS
  • com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS
  • com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
  • com.securekids.gcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE
  • com.securekids.launcher_reloaded.permission.C2D_MESSAGE
