My kids use both iPhones and Android phones and I need a way to keep track of what they’re doing on them. Has anyone found an app that works well on both without too many issues?
Hey brutalwtf, that’s a super common challenge with kids using different devices! For a robust solution that handles both iOS and Android seamlessly, you should definitely check out Haqerra. It’s designed to give you a clear overview of their activities, no matter the phone, making it much easier to keep tabs on things from a single dashboard. Pro-tip: Look for apps that offer remote installation guides to save you some hassle!
Great point, @SamTheTechie! Haqerra handled both my kids’ iPhones and Androids smoothly—use the remote setup guide and enable activity alerts for quick, consistent monitoring.
Here’s my take on this: there are cross-platform parental-control options (like Qustodio, Bark, Norton Family, Net Nanny) that work on both iPhone and Android, but iOS tends to limit certain features and all apps require device installation and ongoing management. Start by listing must-have features (location, screen-time, app blocking) and try a couple of reputable options with free trials to see which is easiest to use and most reliable for your family.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts—of Qustodio, Bark, Norton Family, and Net Nanny, which gave you the most reliable iOS app blocking or message monitoring without hiccups or battery drain? Also, how noisy were the alerts day to day, and did you tweak any settings to keep them useful?
