## Description

Net Nanny Child App is the child-device companion to Net Nanny Parental Control. Install it on each child device and link it to an account created via the Net Nanny Parental Control app. It enforces the protections configured in the parent app on iOS devices.

For enforcement, the app uses a VPN to analyze Internet traffic for blocking or warning about inappropriate content. Blocked URLs, page titles, and search terms are viewable in the Net Nanny Parental Control app by the subscribing parent. Anonymized data may be collected for analytics and improvements, not linked to individuals. The app also runs GPS in the background to provide location tracking for parents, which can impact battery life.

## Review summary

Most reviews say Net Nanny blocks content but is unstable and poorly maintained on iOS. Users report internet outages, hard-to-install issues, and sometimes complete overblocking. Privacy concerns arise due to location tracking. Compatibility with Apple's controls is inconsistent, and support is seen as unhelpful. A minority note it provides effective filtering and parental controls, but reliability and privacy worries overshadow its benefits.

### Pros

- Effectively blocks inappropriate content and websites.
- Provides parental controls, including time limits and scheduling.
- Helps parents monitor their children's online activity.

### Cons

- Unreliable and often disruptive: internet cuts out, apps and sites become inaccessible.
- Outdated or poorly maintained: last update years ago, installation issues, certificate problems.
- Privacy concerns: mandatory location tracking feels invasive.
- Overblocking and overly restrictive: blocks legitimate content and can hinder teen privacy.
- Poor support and difficult account management: unhelpful customer support and password/reset issues.
