| ParentsWare: Intent on keeping kids safe |
No matter how hard we try to protect the children in our
lives, they will never be safe enough from online predators unless we are
proactive! Ourpact is a new app that is available for download on iOS devices,
and it is the perfect way to keep our kids safe and monitor what they are doing
on their tablet or phone.
Ourpact is simple to use and only takes a few minutes to
download and set up. All you need to do is download it on to your device and
create an account. After you have submitted your username, password and email address (for confirmation and communication purposes),
you will see a screen with a new URL on it. Grab your child’s device (either
phone or tablet) and type that URL into the browser of their internet and
download the app! Once it is downloaded, you can go back to your device and
pair the two devices and apps so you have full parental control.
With Ourpact, you can block certain apps, certain websites
and schedule usage time for your child’s device. If you want to block an app
indefinitely, you can use the “manual block” feature. Once you block an app
manually, it immediately takes effect. If you would like to schedule a block
time so they can only use the app during a particular time of the day, you can
use the “schedule block” feature. This ensures that you are able to monitor
them while they use that app. This is useful for those of you who hang out on
the couch with your kids while you are both on devices.
You can block internet sites with this app. One of the
biggest categories of blocked sites is usually social media, depending on the
age of your child. Social media opens up doors that should probably remain
closed until your child is old enough to distinguish between inappropriate and
appropriate, under your judgment.
You can also schedule usage time so that your child will not
be on their device after bedtime or in the middle of the night. Whatever
schedule you choose for them, you can set up on their device using the main app
on yours!
If you are interested in downloading this app for yourself
and your family, you can find it here in the iTunes app store. You should also visit ParentsWare’s website for more information on this app if you have any additional
questions! I highly recommend this app to all of my readers looking for added
security!

That sounds like a really handy app. There are definitely sites that I would like to block from the kiddos.
that is pretty cool...and def its important to keep an eye on what your kids are accessing...and block what you know is not good for them...
This is a great way to keep kids from getting onto apps or sites that aren't appropriate. This is great for parents.
Allison has her own iPad, so this is something that we should already have installed on it. You are right. We can never be too careful from those online predators!
