App summary

We know how hard it is to set boundaries for your kids on the internet. Our goal is to give you the confidence that they are protected while using smartphones and tablets.


1. Given the opportunity, most kids would be glued to their phones at every waking hour. With App Guard, you can set up the daily limit for gaming and limit playtime at night or during school hours. It automatically controls apps and games and allows kids to use only the age-appropriate ones.

2. When kids are online, they can come across web pages with fake news or violent or adult content. Web Guard ensures your kids’ internet safety by keeping them away from inappropriate pages.

3. If your child didn’t come from school yet and doesn’t pick up the phone, Child Locator locates your child’s phone’s current location. Additionally, Geofencing allows you to get the notification if your child enters or steps out of the default area on the map.

4. Do you worry about your child’s phone’s battery dying and not being able to contact them? Set up Battery Protector that will limit playing games if the battery level drops below the default level.

5. Does your child have a crucial task to finish, and you are afraid they will play on their phone instead? Use Instant Block for a temporary ban on games and entertainment. If your child has some free time, you can also temporarily suspend the time limit rule through Vacation Mode.

6. Are the rules too strict? Has a newly installed app been blocked? Children can ask for an exception, and parents can instantly approve or deny requests.

7. Do you want to change the rules settings? Sign in to my.eset.com on a PC or mobile phone and change them remotely. If you, as a parent, also use an android smartphone, install our app on your phone in parent mode, and you will receive instant notifications.

8. Can’t reach your kid via phone? Check the Devices section to see if they have turned off the sound or are offline.

9. Do you have kids who have more smartphones or tablets? One license can cover multiple devices, so your whole family is protected.

10. Do you want to know your kid’s interests and how long they have spent using their phone? Reports will give you the detailed information.

11. Language barrier? Don’t worry, our app communicates with kids in 30 languages.

This app is super annoying. It's always comunication failed when I click my subscription. What a waste of money.

Eset no longer offers a free version. Once your trial expired, you'll be stucked in license page asking you to purchase a license key and you cannot exit that page until you make a purchase.

I used yearly subscription for years but... paid, auto-renew... and this year it doesn't activate for 365 days. Talk to tehnical support but no answer for 7 days... so I asked for refund. Now if I want to pay for a subscription the price is double!!! So... I will wait to all my subscriptions to expire (Eset internet security/3pc, mobile security/5, parental control-trial, vpn) and change to other applications!!! It's not fair what you did...
