JUDGES REVIEW
NQ Family Guardian offers parents full control of their child’s browsing and activity. The service lets parents customize web filter settings, app settings, contacts, schedules and a series of monitors. From there a parent can track what their child is accessing and who they’re contacting with text alerts to the parent’s phone. One issue I had with the service is that it crashed on Chrome browser. While it offers simple implementation, we’ve already seen Microsoft offer a Kid’s Corner shipped by default on its Microsoft Win 8. Although the service is meant for younger children without their own devices, it’s likely many OEM will begin to shift similar features on devices. From there parents will be able to lock down a child’s phone before it’s handed off.
