About this app

Bitdefender Parental Control offers digital help to parents and extra online safety to children.

Download and install the Bitdefender Parental Control app across your children's devices to easily manage and monitor their online activities using the Bitdefender Central platform.

Set up healthy, age-appropriate online habits for your kids and review their activity with the array of features tailored to promote a balanced digital lifestyle while preventing overuse and exposure to inappropriate online content:
✔ Content filtering

Location Tracking. Make sure your kids are OK even when they're not by your side. Track their location so you always know where they are.

Preset and customizable routines. Children strive when they have routines they can follow. You can set up Focus time, Family time and Bedtime routines to create a tailored schedule for each of these activities.

Safe Search and YouTube restricted. Remove explicit and harmful results from search engines and videos to ensure results are age-appropriate.

This is the most disappointing thing about getting a Bitdefender subscription. Everything else seems to be really good, but evidently parent controls are an after thought.. The app on my kids device blocks everything regardless if it has permission to be used. I wish this was more like XBOX, that a painless process to give access to a specific app/game..I was really looking forward to the location alerts that would have been helpful..as it stands I had to uninstall the app, to get anything to work.

The updated app removes the ability to block apps, specifically "google play". The filtering is poor, blocks kid friendly content! It is now completely useless. To make matters worse... you can only access the controls via a browser...the app for parents has been removed from the Central app. The remaining functionality you can get for free on many apps including Google 's family link. Why bother installing bloatware on your kids phone??
