Securely Home Reviews
This app certainly is well meaning and catering to the much-concerned aspect of parenting. With the help of Securely Home, parents can at least to some degree have less uncertain worries regarding to the browsing contents and screen time of their children, particularly in today’s internet age. They can set up specific filters and time schedule for Internet use and maintain a balanced study, work and relax time for their children. They can not only obtain the information and data of their kids directly on the app, they can also directly control certain features of internet using for their children. This is a kind of relief, especially for parents who cannot always stay with their children. However, there are still certain technical issues that need to be fixed soon so the app can fully exert its functions and hopefully truly makes parents’ life a little easier.
