Parental Control by Boomerang 4.38

Boomerang Parental Control offers a range of screen time management features designed to foster positive digital habits among children, particularly regarding their usage of non-iOS mobile devices.

It is important to note that Boomerang Parental Control does not extend to managing child devices running iOS. Instead, the iOS application is intended for comprehensive control over non-iOS devices (specifically those that begin with the letter "A") via a parent’s iPhone or iPad.

About Parent Mode on iOS

• Manage screen time allocation and scheduling daily to suit your child’s needs.
• Set individual time limits for specific apps; for instance, restrict social media applications to 15 minutes per day.
• Exercise app controls to allow or block access, promoting positive app usage behaviours beyond merely enforcing time limits.
• Receive notifications and approve newly installed apps before your child gains access, with blocking set as the default option.
• Review call and text logs, with the option to collect full text content for further monitoring.
• Enable call safety by allowing phone calls exclusively from local contacts while being able to block specific numbers and permit important contacts.
• Enhance text message safety by receiving alerts for inappropriate language in messages sent or received on your child's non-iOS device.
• Monitor viewing history and search activity on the YouTube app, addressing a common concern among parents regarding media exposure.

Boomerang Parental Control facilitates meaningful discussions between parents and children about digital usage, distinguishing between beneficial and harmful applications, browsing habits, and video content. This tool aims to alleviate conflicts surrounding screen time management.
