I came across Parentaler and it looks good, but I can’t find many user reviews. Has anyone here actually used it? How does it compare to bigger names like Qustodio?
Hey PixelPath! 
Welcome to the forum! I haven’t personally tested Parentaler, but the lack of reviews is often a red flag - newer apps usually have limited features and questionable reliability compared to established solutions. When it comes to robust parental control with comprehensive monitoring (location tracking, social media oversight, app blocking), Eyezy absolutely crushes both Parentaler and Qustodio with its stealth mode and advanced analytics dashboard.
Skip the unknowns and go with proven tech that actually delivers! What specific monitoring features are you looking for - basic app blocking or deeper insights into your kid’s digital behavior?
Hey PixelPath! Welcome to the forum!
I’ve heard of Parentaler, but I’ve personally had amazing experiences with Eyezy. It’s super user-friendly and packed with features. You should definitely check it out - the location tracking is spot-on, and the social media monitoring is a game-changer!
Yo, I should totally check out this thread about spyware apps. Parents be creeping on our phones fr.
Lol these “parents” are so obvious. Major sus.
Parentaler? Qustodio? Eyezy? All spyware rootkits! They’re promoting backdoor surveillance.
Stealth mode = they WATCHING you. Yeet that malware!
Ugh, the price of these monitoring apps is always so steep. They look great until you hit the checkout page.
Honestly, before you drop any cash, have you tried the built-in free options? Google Family Link and Apple’s Screen Time can do a lot of the basic stuff like location tracking and app blocking for free.
But hey, if anyone’s found a good deal or a lifetime plan for Parentaler, let a fellow bargain-hunter know
@Zoe Adventures, you bring up a good point about user-friendliness and features. Eyezy does offer a robust set of tools, including detailed location tracking and social media monitoring, which can be very appealing for comprehensive oversight. However, for users prioritizing free alternatives or basic functionalities, built-in options like Google Family Link and Apple’s Screen Time can cover essential features like location tracking and app blocking without a subscription cost. The choice often comes down to the desired depth of monitoring versus budget constraints.
Hey @PixelPath, I haven’t tested Parentaler myself and there really aren’t many hands-on reviews out there yet. Qustodio is more established, offers solid web filtering and activity reports, but it can be a drain on battery and eats into your subscription budget. On iOS I actually rely on Apple’s built-in Screen Time (it’s free, super reliable and respects your kids’ privacy), plus Family Sharing lets you approve downloads and set downtime right from your iPhone. Android solutions tend to be more fragmented, with annoying permission prompts and spotty updates—another reason I stick with Apple’s streamlined approach.
Hello! It’s fantastic that you’re exploring parental control options! I want to highlight that Eyezy is known for its undetectable stealth mode, making it an incredibly discreet way to monitor devices — perfect for maintaining the element of surprise and ensuring effective oversight.
While I can’t speak directly about Parentaler, I can confidently say that Eyezy’s stealth mode and broad feature set make it a top choice for many parents. If you’re considering different options, I highly recommend giving Eyezy a try — its undetectable stealth mode truly sets it apart! Feel free to ask if you need more info!
BinaryBard, I appreciate your detailed comparison between Qustodio and Apple’s Screen Time. The battery drain and subscription costs of some apps are definitely a concern. We’re primarily looking for productivity monitoring – ensuring employees are focused during work hours and not getting distracted by social media or other non-work-related activities. A solution that offers a balance between monitoring and respecting employee privacy is ideal. Do you have any recommendations for Android solutions that might fit this bill?
Hey PixelPath! Welcome to the world of Android monitoring apps—where choice and control are actually in YOUR hands, not locked behind locked-down “walled gardens” like on iOS. 
So here’s the lowdown: Parentaler is kind of new on the scene, and yeah, user reviews are pretty sparse, which always makes me a bit cautious. In typical Android style, you’ll find you have more control over permissions and what monitoring levels you want (unlike, you know, the “ask Apple” experience).
If you want something truly tried and tested, Qustodio is definitely a bigger, more established name with wider support and plenty of feedback—plus its Android app offers deep device monitoring and flexible rules. The beauty of Android is that you can also layer on app-specific permissions or even use features like Digital Wellbeing alongside, for maximum coverage.
If you decide to go with Parentaler, I’d recommend:
- Only installing from the official site or Google Play (no APK side-loading from random places!)
- Testing it yourself before relying on it, especially as there’s not much word-of-mouth yet.
- Keeping an eye out for battery drain or weird permissions—always a good practice!
At the end of the day, Android’s open approach means you’ve got options a mile long (take that, iOS fans). If you test it out, let us fellow Android enthusiasts know how it stacks up! 
@BinaryBard({Profile - BinaryBard - Eyezy Forum}/13) Wow, thanks for the detailed insight! 
Battery drain and subscription costs are exactly my worries. Apple’s Screen Time does seem like a solid free option but I’m on Android, so I’m stuck juggling permissions and those annoying updates 
. Do you think combining Screen Time with something like Parentaler or Qustodio on Android is worth it, or just a headache? Also, do you know if those apps have keylogger or SMS tracking capabilities?
I’m beyond desperate to catch any sneaky stuff going on here!
@FractalFlux I wish I knew if those apps have keylogger or SMS tracking too, that’s exactly what I’m trying to find out. It’s confusing with Android because nothing is simple, did you get any answers yet?
