Hi there



I was wondering if anyone could recommend any internet and search history monitoring apps or devices ?



Contact between my children and their dad maybe in the close future and I have stated that while supervised contact is fine I would like to monitor his phone. He has agreed to this .



can anyone point me in the right direction ?



thank you

I use Qustodio. I had to pay for it but it does the job. I don't use it for husband now as his phone is monitored since sentencing. I kept it on for my daughter as I was having lots of problems with her internet usage.

Hello. We used an app called Ever Accountable. You can choose key words that if looked for/ searched anything to do with, it will send a notification to someone else's phone. It is a very good app, quite intrusive though. It worked in our situation, but might not be the best fit in yours. X

Sorry!

it monitors all internet activity. Let's you know what app, sites have been used and for how long. You can also block sites, apps if you don't want them viewed

Is this on a mobile or laptop?

If on a mobile, can you control if they come off the WiFi and use their data instead?

We use ever accountable as well, it's quite cheap and it tells you absolutely everything they do, and includes screen shots. It can do multiple devices and on or off WiFi. It's excellent. You can tell it what you want it to report on (for example you can include absolutely everything, or not have it report on use of certain apps) and if he tried to change this it would notify you
