You are right. Android does allow remote installation of apps from play.google.com by selecting the device tied to your Google account. Please note that Mobicip will automatically block any app that is a browser or has a browser embedded in it. For other apps, for now you may need to check on the device periodically and lock new apps that should not be allowed. We are working on adding the App Monitor for Android. This will allow you to keep an eye on what apps are installed on your Android devices, along with the category, age rating etc. without touching the device. In a future update, you will even be able to lock apps remotely. Please bear with us as we complete this feature and roll it out.
