In one of our previous posts, “Should I Buy My Child a Tablet?”, we discussed a common concern for parents: the exposure of children to inappropriate content once they have internet access. Fortunately, with the right app on your child's tablet, you can easily control what they see and do. You can also manage how much time they spend on the device and prevent unwanted purchases from accidental taps on the “BUY” button.
The Kids Place app is one of the best parental control solutions available. It helps restrict your child’s access to apps and websites and protects your personal data. The app is straightforward to set up and doesn’t require any registration.
Main features:
1. Restrict kids’ access to only approved apps.
2. Prevent kids from buying or downloading apps.
3. Set a timer to lock the tablet after a specified amount of time.
4. Support for plugins that provide additional parental controls like website content and video filtering.
To install Kids Place on your tablet or phone, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Play Store from your tablet or phone.
2. Search for “Kids Place” and click install.
3. Start Kids Place from the application menu after installation is complete.
4. No registration is needed; you will only be prompted to set a PIN the first time you start the app. The PIN is required to exit the kids’ mode.
5. From the “Kids Place – Settings” page, select “Manage Apps” to approve apps. Only the selected apps will show in kid’s mode.
6. Click on “Manage Videos” and “Manage Websites” to install plugins for additional parental controls, such as Kids Safe Video Player and Safe Browser.
