So here's my honest take on Safe Surfer: Block Porn & Apps. I've tested a bunch of parental control apps and this one's pretty good. The core features work well - the web filtering is solid and the app blocking is useful. The remote controls and reporting in the Pro version are nice extras too. But it's not without its issues. The UI feels a bit outdated and the setup can be a pain. And it doesn't catch everything, so you'll still need to keep an eye on things. But for most parents, this is a pretty good option to help keep the family safe online.

Description

Been using Safe Surfer: Block Porn & Apps for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that blocks adult websites and distracting apps on your phone or tablet. Pretty solid if you’re a parent who wants to keep your kids safe online.

Here’s what you do – there’s a big button to get protected, and once you turn that on, it blocks all the bad websites. You can also sign in to block 50+ popular apps and games that might distract your kids. The Pro version even lets you see their browsing history and remotely block stuff from the web dashboard. Handy stuff.

Look, if you’re a parent looking to filter the internet and limit screen time, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the blocking isn’t 100% and the interface is a little clunky. But overall it does the job and is worth checking out.
