App Monitoring

When setting up the app monitoring for an ipad, I have to turn off installing apps and deleting apps.  If I do this, I can't go into the App Store.  How do I still install apps for my son?

Re: App Monitoring

We understand your concern. Our best recommendation at this point is to download the apps your kid wants and then turn off the App Store by selecting Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps > OFF. You can always re-enable the App Store temporarily when your son/daughter wants to download other apps, and then lock it back again when he/she is done. At this time, that is the best way to ensure that no alternative browsers are installed without your knowledge.
 
If App store is left available in the device, your kid can download any free browser from there and it totally voids the point of having a filtered browser. For instance, Google app is rated 4+ but it acts as a browser and allows access to all kind of inappropriate content. This is an issue with almost all apps that have their own browsers. This is the reason why we recommend our users to disable/delete App store and all other browsers available/downloaded onto the device and make Mobicip as the only window available for filtered internet access.
