Famisafe App Review: A Parental Control App for Safety and Well-being

Safety in today’s world is often taken for granted. People forget it plays a vital role in our well-being. We can all agree that an adult should be able to take care of themselves and know when they are safe or not. But what about the children? We live in a world today that is being controlled by the internet, which is readily accessible to virtually anyone regardless of age. You’ll see a 5-year old kid who owns a Facebook account and can literally surf the internet.

The internet as we know it to be is full of enormous contents. Some of these contents are harmful to the well-being of our children and at that stage of their life, they should not have access to such contents. Nothing is perfect in life and neither is the internet, which has its upside and downside.

Just like contents displayed on cable networks, there is a parental control software put in place to make sure parent can determine which channels their kids get to watch or are exposed to.

But what about the children’s smartphone, who is controlling the type of content they access on the internet with the device? Well, am here to tell you today, that you can control the type of contents your children access on the internet.

FamiSafe Subscription plans

A lot of people probably won’t be happy to know that FamiSafe isn’t free. Although the app offers a 3-days trial for new users, it offers a subscription-based service. They currently have three different subscription periods; $9.99/Monthly, $19.99/Quarterly and $59.99/Yearly.

FamiSafe App Review: Summary

Overall, FamiSafe is a fantastic parental control app. The only downside is the app is the subscription and not being able to track call details on the device. But I think most parents will agree that $59.99 a year isn’t so much to pay for the safety and well-being of their kids. Parenting is such a difficult and heavy job, and FamiSafe helps you bear the burden to a degree. It still doesn’t mean you will leave the parenting of your child to FamiSafe, the app is just a helping hand.
