"Families often feel robbed of their time together because digital devices create such a distraction," said Scott Walker, co-founder of TeenSafe. "We are launching this newer, better and updated TeenSafe app to give families the chance to come together again without the beep of a text or app notification in the background. We also wanted to provide parents peace of mind so they know their kids aren't texting behind the wheel of a car, or online when they're supposed to be doing homework. We're excited to offer this feature to all parents for free and give them the power to manage when and how their teens and preteens use their devices."
The TeenSafe app also offers a forthcoming advanced feature, Scheduling, so that parents can block certain apps or services on a recurring basis (available in late August). Parents who want additional smartphone monitoring capabilities can upgrade to TeenSafe's Premium services for $14.95/month. This gives parents the ability to view: Sent, received and deleted SMS and iMessages; Call logs of incoming and outgoing calls; Current smartphone location and its history; Web search and browsing history; Contacts; And much, much more
Through its online blog, TeenSafe offers free resources, knowledge and insights into digital parenting. TeenSafe is available at TeenSafe.com.
