Description
Boomerang Parental Control is designed to help parents start conversations about tech use with their kids. Use our daily emailed report as a nudge to review app usage and ask what was so interesting on social media that over 2 hours were spent on it yesterday.Take the battle out of screen time with Boomerang Parental Control’s leading features for child Android devices.
Monitor and Control Screen Time
► Flexible Screen Time: Keep tabs on device usage, app usage, encouraging your child’s digital wellbeing - set daily device time limits and schedules. Review their usage with our detailed per app reporting.
► Screen Time Schedules: Set device downtime at bedtime - Put an end to games, social media and other distractions when kids should be charging up their batteries (oh and charge the devices outside of their room too).
► Per App Daily Limits: Once you have a device limit, continue to optimize your child's screen time by setting individual daily limits on individual apps that may be used too much inside the daily allocation (examples like social media apps or streaming apps).
Guide and Teach Good Screen Time
► Safe Browsing: Monitor your child's web history with our free fully featured safe browser, SPIN, with enforced Google SafeSearch and millions of bad websites blocked (like pornography, nudity, drugs and gambling). Boomerang's app blocker technology blocks all known web browsers so your child will always have a safe browsing experience via SPIN.
► App Control: Per app daily timer, control and monitor the apps your kids install and use - approve or block newly installed from the Play Store and other sources. Start conversations about your child’s interest in certain apps and how they heard about them. Get notified if a “Vault App” was installed before it becomes a problem.
► Monitor the YouTube App History: Boomerang will grab the YouTube app viewing and search history. Review your child’s YouTube usage on your parent device with Parent Mode.
Tip: Enable Restricted Mode in the YouTube app, then block access to this setting by reading our how-to here: https://goo.gl/Do8h9a.
► Educate by Encouraging Good Apps: Encourage good apps and great screen time experiences with our Encouraged Apps feature. Set learning, language, math, health and other important apps without any time limits. These apps will always be allowed and be accessible beyond all screen time limits.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★Wonderful safety for kids once set up! I did have to turn off Chrome as a browser to fully block inappropriate images but it worked. The SPIN browser is fantastic and allowed my kids to do everything that they needed to do. I am writing this review as I renew for our second year of using Boomerang. I had some questions early on when we first got the app and customer service was quick and thorough in their response. Thanks Boomerang!
1 ★My child was able to access nude photos on Wikipedia through their "safe browser" with all content filters on and was able to erase the browsing history on his phone (it did show up in device reports though). Seems like a waste of my money.
5 ★This is a great app and my family used it for almost a year and loved it but now GOOGLE KEEPS DISABLING THE APP ON MY CHILDS DEVICE AND MINE EVEN AFTER I HAVE WENT THRU THE STEPS TO CLEAR GOOGLE PLAY AND TURN OFF THE NOTIFICATIONS. My son's phone shut down and did factory reset ON ITS OWN TO REMOVE IT cause i had disabled GOOGLE PLAY STORE and it couldnt disable the app. Boomerang is not the problem. GOOGLE IS THE PROBLEM!! I guess GOOGLE has the right to override what i want ON MY OWN DEVICES.
2 ★I don't recommend this app bc when u leave ur house the timer still runs. Also the app lies about it pausing the time. And when you get home it will say that you have one minute left. When you just get home and you'll get on it it'll say your schedule is now over. I do not recommend this at anybody.Because i have it and I think it scamming people to have all there information
4 ★Does the job. Nice web interface.
4 ★My kid is very smart. Google family was a joke. He turn off parental , installed stuff and I could only block. Not helpful. While in the trial.still, this has stopped the nonsense GF caused. He does turn it off, reason there are 4 Stars. But so far I can turn it right back on and that works.
5 ★Great! Does everything we need it to. It has helped our kids to stay safe while online or using their devices. Have had it for years now, very happy with the product.
2 ★I wish I could like this app. Reconnecting with the parent app and the controlled device is slow, and won't refresh automatically. It suddenly stopped working and it's really hard to recover the account after uninstalling. I just don't see the point anymore as everything has basically reset and all of my settings are gone. You also have to go onto the website to fix most of it up. I useless if I have the app that will just redirect me to a desktop website on my mobile phone...
4 ★It's a good app, just one thing. My dad used the feature that blocks newly installed apps on my phone and it will tell him that an app has been installed. However, sometimes I install apps while he's at work so he has disabled the notifications. Because of this, I have to physically tell him that I've installed a new app. On top of that, I go on random installing sprees a few times a year. So I was wondering if you guys can add a feature where the notifications can be scheduled to save us time.
1 ★I'm a child using this and my parents installed it. It's very annoying that I can't click a link even if it's totally safe, that it says access denied. It frustrating and send uneeded "detected bad words" to my parents phone. Let me make this clear stupid, evil, etc. Are not bad!!!
5 ★This is how you make sure your kids are safe! Family Link is great, but this will track all calls and texts (if enabled), which to me, is vital. Kids these days don't want to talk openly with their parents anymore, and alot of times, that leads them to getting into alot of trouble that could have otherwise been avoided or at the very least addressed and identified thanks to this apps call and text tracking features! It is for that feature alone that I am paying the subscription fee for this app.
5 ★I have tried several other apps similar to this one. For my teenager, this works the best of any. She gets flexibility and some privacy while I am assured she is safe. The support staff are quick to handle any issues. There are safeguards in place to keep kids from circumventing app. Pricing is also better than most. try it, they give you 14 days to change your mind. How can you lose with that deal? Beware low recommendations. those are mostly from kids that don't like that the app works. Lol
