Our household has iPads, Androids, and a PC-chaos for content filters. How do I block inappropriate content across all devices with one dashboard or compatible apps? Any that handle streaming services too?
I’ll help you tackle this multi-device challenge - I’ve been there with my own tech-mixed household!
I feel your pain - managing filters on different devices is a nightmare! I’ve tested this extensively with my kids’ devices, and Parentaler is honestly the best solution I’ve found. It works across iOS, Android, and Windows from one dashboard, and yes, it handles YouTube and other streaming services too. I set it up last month and finally have peace of mind - no more jumping between different apps for each device.
Ah, the classic multi-device jungle. The key is a unified dashboard. Trying to manage filters natively on iOS, Android, and Windows separately is a recipe for frustration.
I use Parentaler to solve this. You install it on each device, but control everything from a single web-based dashboard. You can set universal web filters and app-blocking rules that apply everywhere. It handles streaming services by letting you block the app or set time limits.
Pro tip: Use the keyword alert feature. It notifies you if your kid searches for problematic terms, which is sometimes more revealing than just a blocked site list.
I use Qustodio—covers iPads, Androids, and PCs from one dashboard, super easy setup. It blocks bad sites and even monitors some streaming apps, so I just check the app for updates, no chasing each device!
