Description
Parental controls with screen time, app controls, safe web browsing and location tracking for mobile devices.
Boomerang Parental Control brings screen time features to build positive behaviours for your kids’ digital wellness and time spent on their non-iOS mobile devices.
Boomerang Parental Control dot not provide any controls of child iOS device. Our iOS app here is for complete mobile device control for kids’ non-iOS devices (those the start with "A") from your parent iPhone or iPad.
ABOUT PARENT MODE on iOS
------------------------------
Control your child’s non-iOS devices (you know, the ones that start with “A”)
▶ Control device allocated screen time and scheduled screen time - customize time on a daily basis
▶ Set daily time allowance on individual apps - example: limit social apps to 15 minutes per day
▶ App controls: allow, block and encourage the use of good apps beyond screen time limits for good screen time
▶ Approve new installed apps (block is default behaviour) - get notified and review newly installed apps before your child can use them
▶ Call logs and Texting logs: review your kids call logs and text logs. Optionally, collect all text content
▶ Call safety: allow phone calls only from your kid’s local contacts, block specific numbers and always allow important numbers
▶ Text message safety: Get notified when inappropriate words are received or sent on your child’s non-iOS device
▶ Review YouTube app viewing history and searches - Kids want the real YouTube so a very popular and important feature for parents
Boomerang Parental Control helps parents start conversations with their kids about their device usage, good apps, bad apps, web browsing, video viewing and more. Boomerang Parental Control takes the battle out of screen time!

This has made all my apps go on my phone and now can’t get them back on! Terrible
Developer Response ,
This is normal behavior and we provide the user a heads up about this during app setup. When the scheduled time is up, we hide all user installed apps. If you wish to remove this protection, you will need to remove the Device Profile located under Settings > General > Device Profile. If you are a child leaving this review, your parent will be notified when the Device Profile is removed.
Do not install whatever you do
I tried this out to review. Deleted all my apps without telling me automatically after i download the software, and i couldn’t reinstall them because it deleted App Store even maps and web browser, insanely dangerous to not allow WhatsApp or Maps for your child’s protection and safety.
Took me ages to work out to uninstall the control over my phone, i had to go to “mobile device management” on my phone settings and uninstall. Never ever install this.

Hi - thanks for your review and apologies for the tardiness is replying. What you shared is the normal experience and we do mention this behavior during set in Child Mode.
Great idea doesn’t work
This is great except it doesn’t turn everything off after the selected time if your child is playing an app on the iPad. So I still have to put my own timer on and tell her to put it down ensuing the argument this app was intended to avoid. However once child/argument is complete you can remotely close off all apps on the iPad and then grant access. The timers if granted access are useless as I already said they don’t close the apps down when the child is on one!

Hi - about the time you had issues last year, Apple was rejecting apps like ours but have reversed their decision this past summer. We were just re-approved and would love to have you try Boomerang Parental Control again. Here is more information https://useboomerang.com/2019/10/25/boomerang-parental-control-back-app-store/
