Security company ESET is working on an app that parents are sure to find very useful: the ESET Parental Control app for smartphones and tablets that run Google's Android mobile operating system.

The app has recently been released as a Beta and anyone who joins the ESET Beta program has free access to the app’s security features for six months. Speaking about features, here’s a closer look at the features this Android app has to offer.

ESET Parental Control App for Android
  • Application Guard – use age-based filters to block access to inappropriate apps.
  • Content Blocking – use age-based filters to block access to inappropriate websites.
  • Time limits – set time limits so your child doesn’t waste lots of time on games and apps.
  • Web Guard – uses ESET’s databases to block internet threats.
  • Child Locator – see where you child is, at any time.
  • Parental Mode – manage rules and receive reports on your child’s online activities.
“ESET Parental Control app for Android has been designed to provide parents the confidence to safeguard children on smart devices by giving them protection, user experience and performance through a number of free and premium features,” said Branislav Orlik, Product Manager at ESET. “Our next job is to protect families against online threats, so they can enjoy the wealth of information and entertainment available online.”

The ESET Parental Control app for Android isn’t ready for the general public, not yet anyway. As mentioned at the start of this article, the app has recently been released as a Beta. The good news is that anyone can get their hands on the Beta.

To show its gratitude, ESET is giving Beta testers free access to the security features the app has to offer.

“BETA testing is really important to us,” said Branislav Orlik. “We’ve worked really hard to make ESET Parental Control for Android user friendly, unintrusive and useful for children and parents alike. However, nothing compares to the feedback provided parents and children in all geographies. That’s why have decided to offer premium features for all BETA testing families completely for free without any commitment for a full six months.”
