Parent App
What is the Parent App?
The Parent App is a special view within the web portal. The biggest advantage of the Parents App view is the display of all active devices in one screen. Especially if you manage devices of multiple children, here you can see at a glance what happened on which device and for how long. And that without cumbersome switching back and forth between the devices. You can access this parent app view either in the web portal via the three-dot menu at the top next to the device selection or by installing it as a parent app. If you install the parent app on your Android smartphone, you will also receive notifications about sharing or renewal requests.
Install
If you have an Android smartphone (or tablet), you can install the Child Control app on your device as a parent app. To do this, use the same login credentials as on the children's devices. During the installation of Child Control, select Parents device (instead of Childs device) in the corresponding step. No licence is required for the parents app and it can be installed on as many devices as you want. Information on how to install parent app on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad).

Especially if you manage devices of several children, here you can see at a glance what happens how long on which device. No switching between devices using the standard Web Portal required to see different usage logs and settings.

Advantages
Overview of all devices with today's times
Direct links for extension time, unlocking, locking
No more (inconvenient) login/password via browser
Password/login can be saved for quick access
License-free, unlimited devices
In the parent app you can see today's active devices with the time used so far. Upcoming limits are displayed in red letters in the respective card. Use the context menu in the upper right corner of the card, to execute device-related actions, such as an extension, locking or unlocking until a given timestamp as well as direct link to the Web Portal. The display refreshes every 1-2 minutes when the app is active and after each power-on. If your children have access to your device as well, please make absolutely sure that you always log out of the parents app (Logout button). Also, make sure you have not checked "Save password" when logging in. Remember: anyone who has access to the parents app can also change all Child Control settings or disable it entirely. If you are the only one who has access to the device, it makes sense to save the password for even faster access.
Uninstall
Uninstalling the Parents app (unlike the Kids version) does not require you to enter your password. You can simply uninstall the Parents app like any other app. On most devices, the easiest way to do this is to long-click on the icon and then select Uninstall from the context menu.
