The best available! – Parental Control App - OurPact Review

My wife and I have 5 grandkids and all their devices are on our cellular plan. We need control of each individual device so we can set them up according to their age and set schedules accordingly. I’ve purchased every Parental Control App available and none of them had the features I was looking for. The one feature I wanted was the ability to set schedules. I’m not talking about having it turn on in the morning and go off at night, rather set multiple schedules for school days, weekends, etc. This is the only App I found that allows you to set schedules any way you see fit. Here’s a schedule I use for the oldest child that’s in Middle School. Every weekday morning at 6:30, the Apps unlock that aren’t set to be available at all times. When her first class starts at 8:05am, it locks down and only basic Apps she needs for school, like calculator, etc., are available. At 11:45am, (lunch) it unlocks until lunch is over at 12:15pm and remains locked until school ends at 2:30pm. It remains on until 9:30pm, at which time it locks until 6:30am. Sometimes a class will do something that requires the students to use Google Classroom or something online. When this happens, she calls me from the school phone and tells me how long she needs access and I can bypass the schedule for a set amount of time and within 3 seconds, her device unlocks and locks back down when the time I selected expires. Another feature that Ourpact didn’t have in its infancy stage was the option to disable the ability to uninstall Apps. This is very important because my grandchild deleted the App and the software became worthless. That doesn’t happen now. You can open the App and select the child and all the controls and options are in front of you. With a click, you can track their location. This App doesn’t allow you to monitor every text message and phone call but in my case, it’s not needed. I’m not interested in spying on the kids, just maintaining control of their screen time and what Apps they can and cannot use. If you want a very powerful Parental Control App with many important features, take the time to at least try Ourpact and see if it does what you need it to. Keep in mind this App has Premium Features that are a must and it takes several steps and some time to set each device up properly but once completed, you will have all features available. I don’t write reviews for any App but in this case, I feel it’s important for parents, grandparents, guardians, etc., to know this is a great App and an absolute must-have if you want to teach a child that having their device in front of their face every waking minute of every day, is not a good thing.
