Submitted by Suren on Wed, 11/16/2011 - 00:16

 

If you have setup the Time Limits feature in your Mobicip account, please take a minute to login at http://www.mobicip.com, select Settings > Time Limits, and setup your time zone.

This will ensure your time limits settings are based on the time zone you select and more importantly, account for daylight savings if applicable.

If you do not select the time zone at this time, the time limits you had setup will continue to be applied, but potentially with a 1-hour offset due to the daylight savings time change.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please follow the steps above, and review your time limits settings one more time to make sure you are all set.

 Building Early Road Scholars: Giving Your Kids the Drive to Succeed

Students need to make the most of their time, and the best place they can do it is during their commute to school. The average American spends 100 hours commuting a year. With the average student having a one way commute time of 30 minutes (many rural students commute twice that length of time), this presents an untapped reservoir of time that is usually frittered away.

As a parent I know that only by being proactive can you help your child to succeed. In this article on the Mobicip blog, we talk about some mobile learning tips and tricks to help - Building early road scholars: Giving your kids the drive to succeed.

FAQ Spotlight: Will My Subscription Renew Automatically?

If it has been over a year since you purchased the Premium subscription, it might be time to renew it in order to keep the level of service. Your subscription may be renewed automatically provided the credit card information is still valid.

If the subscription is not renewed, Mobicip will continue to work using the default filtering level setting you had selected. Any custom filtering settings will be ignored and no Internet activity reports will be generated. To renew your subscription, simply login at www.mobicip.com and click "Renew now".

Safe Internet on Windows using Mobicip

We are happy to announce that Mobicip for Windows 7 has been launched and is available for purchase. Unlike the Safe Browser app on iOS, Mobicip operates at a deeper level on Windows. I.e. it can protect Internet access through any browser, be it Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Google Chrome. Just install Mobicip, login using your account, and the filtering profile you have setup already will be applied.

How about pricing? We are thrilled to offer it at the same annual subscription price of $9.99 (per computer). Click here to BUY NOW!

If there are other issues or features you want to highlight to us, please send a quick note to support@mobicip.com. We will continue to listen to your feedback and fix problems as best we can.

Sincerely
Mobicip Crew

Mobicip E-Newsletter: YouTube Filter and Mobicip for Windows

YouTube Filter for iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad

At Mobicip, we review customer feedback constantly and try to identify common themes. One persistent request has been around safe YouTube access. While Mobicip has always filtered YouTube, it was being filtered just like any other website. Mobicip would scan the entire page and the page would then be allowed or blocked. However, in the context of YouTube, parents want us to block only objectionable videos and not the entire page or site.

In response to these requests, and given that YouTube is the most visited site among children, Mobicip has created a YouTube-specific filtering engine. This means that Mobicip scans each individual YouTube video and determines if it is appropriate for that age level.

Don't take our word for it. You have to try this to believe it. Follow the steps in this tutorial to setup YouTube filtering on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad using Mobicip. We believe this is a truly revolutionary advance in creating a safe web, but If you could try it and send us your feedback, it will be much appreciated.

Setup Time Limits for Internet Access

Mobicip Safe Browser 2.5.5 Update Now Available

Please download the latest update from the App Store which includes several bug-fixes and performance improvements. Yes, updates are always free.

FAQ Spotlight: Why Are My Reports Empty?

This is the single most common question we are asked by our users and the most common reason to upgrade to the Premium service. If your reports show no activity, it probably means your setup is not foolproof. See this article to troubleshoot the setup and ensure that Mobicip is the only browser on the device.

If there are other issues or features you want to highlight to us, please send a quick note to support@mobicip.com. We will continue to listen to your feedback and fix problems as best we can.

Mobicip For Windows 7 - Beta Invitation

Submitted by Suren on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 11:01

 

We are constantly asked by parents and schools if Mobicip has a Windows edition that will offer the same protection for young users on netbook, laptop and desktop computers. We have worked hard to develop a solution for PCs in response to such requests. We are excited to announce that Mobicip for Windows 7 will be available in the next few weeks.

At this time, we are seeking beta users who can try Mobicip on Windows 7 and give us feedback. Participating in the beta program is absolutely FREE. Our iPhone and iPod Touch solution was built on the able support from thousands of parents. We only expect similar feedback and support as we roll out Mobicip on Windows. To participate in the beta, simply express your interest via email or through the contact form.
