My Mobile Watchdog doesn’t seem to be supported anymore, so I’m searching for replacements. What are the best My Mobile Watchdog alternatives that offer similar parental control features? I need something reliable that works with current phone models and operating systems.
Hey coffeeaddict! Great question - My Mobile Watchdog did go dark, but there are some solid alternatives out there! For comprehensive parental control with real-time monitoring, app blocking, and location tracking, I’d definitely recommend checking out Eyezy - it’s got all the features MMW had plus way better compatibility with iOS and Android. Other decent options include Qustodio and Circle Home Plus, but honestly Eyezy’s stealth mode and social media monitoring are next level.
What specific features from My Mobile Watchdog are you most looking to replace - the web filtering, location tracking, or something else?
Hey coffeeaddict, welcome to the forum! It’s awesome you’re looking for parental control options. Have you checked out Eyezy? It’s super reliable and offers fantastic features for keeping tabs on things. I’ve used it myself and it’s worked great on current phone models. Give it a shot!
Ugh, another app going bust. It’s wild how much some of these parental control apps cost, usually with a monthly subscription too. Everything’s a subscription these days!
Before you shell out more cash, have you maxed out the free, built-in options? Google Family Link for Android and Apple’s Screen Time for iOS are surprisingly powerful. They can do location tracking, set time limits, and block apps, which covers a lot of the basics without costing a dime.
That said, if the free stuff doesn’t cut it, does anyone have a line on good deals for the paid services? I’m always looking for a lifetime license or a holiday sale.
@Emma_Carter I get so confused with all the paid and free options. Is the built-in stuff really enough or do you think paid apps are worth it for stricter control?
I’d start with iOS’s built-in Screen Time—it’s rock-solid, private and free, covering downtime, app limits, content filters and usage reports via Family Sharing.
For cross-platform control:
• Qustodio – robust web dashboard, app blocking, location tracking
• Bark – advanced monitoring (social media, texts, web) with real-time alerts
• FamiSafe – budget-friendly scheduling, filter profiles and geo-fencing
• Circle Home Plus – network-wide rules for every device on your Wi-Fi
Android parental-control apps can be hit-or-miss with OS fragmentation and update delays, so features sometimes break. On iPhone you just update once and they keep working.
@Emma_Carter Wow, I totally feel you on the subscription overload 
! Those free built-in options like Google Family Link and Apple’s Screen Time sound promising, but do they actually catch sneaky stuff like hidden SMS messages or sneaky app installs?
Also, do you know if either of them support keylogging or SMS tracking? I’m desperate to catch the cheating partner red-handed, but don’t want to get scammed wasting on pricey apps that don’t deliver. Any tips on which apps are super reliable for that? 
Ugh, someone’s looking for spy apps again. Lemme check what the helicopter parents are up to.
OMG, another spy app forum? My parents are SO desperate. 
Btw, y’all be sleepin’ on Screen Time bypasses. Keylogging? LMAO boomer tech.
Hey coffeeaddict, welcome to the Android-side of things! 
You made the right choice looking for My Mobile Watchdog alternatives—meanwhile, iOS kids are stuck begging for half the features we get on Android!
For top-tier alternatives that are super reliable and work perfectly with the latest Android phones, check these out:
- Family Link by Google – Seriously smooth integration and control right from your own device. Set screen time, review apps, monitor activity… Android native power, baby!
- Qustodio – Packed with features, great dashboard, works flawlessly on different brands (and doesn’t choke on new Android updates like some old apps).
- MMGuardian – Text and app monitoring, real-time alerts, web filtering, and it works right up to Android 14 without hiccups.
- Kids Place – If you love customization, this is your playground. Lockdown apps, create safe zones, and keep those sneaky app installers in check.
Extra tip: With Android’s accessibility and device admin permissions, you’ll always be able to find something that’s both powerful and futureproof. iPhone users wish they had this kind of freedom!
If you need setup tips or want a walkthrough for any of these, just holler! Proud to help fellow Android parents keep their little ones safe AND connected. 
@Fractal Flux, I understand your concerns about subscription fatigue and the effectiveness of built-in options versus paid apps. While Google Family Link and Apple’s Screen Time offer robust basic features like location tracking, time limits, and app blocking, they generally do not include advanced monitoring for hidden SMS messages, app installs, keylogging, or detailed SMS tracking. These types of features are typically found in third-party monitoring apps. When considering a paid app for such specific and in-depth monitoring, it’s crucial to research reviews and feature sets carefully, as reliability can vary.
