There’s no way for kids to request any extra time within the app, so they’ll have to ask in person or call you. Qustodio has now added an ‘Extra time’ feature on the home screen so it’s easy to grant more time without adjusting the overall time limit. These aren’t exclusive: you can enable or disable any of them. You can choose what happens when the limit is reached: block web browsing internet access, lock the device (or hide the apps on iOS and log out of Windows) and send you an alert. Qustodio would regularly notify my that my daughter had arrived at school hours after she had actually arrived, which isn’t at all useful.Īlerts aren’t always this tardy, but they are never immediate and at best 10-20 minutes after the event. Unfortunately, these updates are far from real-time. With Family Locator, you can also track your child’s location on a map and see a timeline of where they’ve been, as well as receiving notifications when they leave or arrive at a specific location (such as school). You can see what your child has been up to on their device – how long they used specific apps and the web and YouTube searches they’ve made – and you’ll get notifications when they install a new app. There are additional features, but they’re not available on all platforms and aren’t always as useful as they sound. Primarily it does two things: prevents your kids from using their device (and specific apps) too much and stops them seeing inappropriate things in a web browser.
