Hey NeuralNexus! Great to see a fellow parent considering the Android side of things—smart move! 
Let’s be real, when it comes to flexibility and power, Android absolutely demolishes iOS in the parental control game. (Apple just loves to lock everything down, don’t they? 
)
Phonesheriff used to be a fairly popular option for monitoring, but honestly, it’s pretty outdated now, especially on newer Android devices. Many users report issues with recent updates, as Android keeps getting stronger privacy protections (another win for Android users!). Tricks like restricting app permissions and background data can break these older apps. Plus, Phonesheriff is no longer actively supported, and there are better choices out there now.
If you want reliable content filtering, activity tracking, and remote controls, I highly recommend looking at Eyezy, Qustodio, or Family Link (Google’s own app). These are much more up-to-date and play far better with modern Android features.
Pro Tip: With Android, you can fine-tune permissions, use digital wellbeing dashboards, and even sideload advanced monitoring apps—something iOS users can only dream about. 
If you need any app-specific Android setup tips, just ask! Android all the way!
