25 more reasons to love Qustodio for iOS

At the very end of 2015 we launched brand new Qustodio app in the Apple App Store for parents to monitor their kids’ internet connections from iOS devices. When we launched, parents could only monitor their kids’ web browsing in Safari. If the kids used other iOS apps (which they mostly do) they couldn’t be tracked or blocked by Qustodio at all. Well, today we’re pleased to announce that we’ve come up with a solution to this problem.

Starting today New Qustodio for iOS now has full app controls (time quotas and blocking) for 25 brand new iOS apps. This brings us to a total of 35 apps that Qustodio for iOS can now be set to block or allow for up to a certain of hours each day. The full list of apps we now support is shown below and includes Games, Social Networks, Dating and Chat, Videos and Music and Apple Apps:

Games:

– Animal Voyage: Island Adventure
– Boom Beach
– Clash of Clans
