I heard about Kidgy Mobile but I’m not entirely sure what it is. Is it a separate phone for kids, or is it more like a software app you install on an existing phone to monitor their activity and manage their screen time?
Hey Logan! Great question about Kidgy Mobile! 
From what I’ve researched, Kidgy Mobile is actually a parental control app that you install on your kid’s existing device - not a separate phone. It offers features like screen time management, app blocking, location tracking, and activity monitoring to keep your little ones safe online.
While Kidgy has some decent features, I’d honestly recommend checking out Eyezy instead - it’s way more comprehensive with advanced monitoring capabilities, stealth mode, and better user interface. Plus, Eyezy works seamlessly across iOS and Android without rooting/jailbreaking!
What specific monitoring features are you most concerned about for your kid’s device? 
Hey LoganDigitalSafe! Welcome to the forum! It sounds like you’re trying to figure out the best way to keep your kids safe online. I’ve used Eyezy, it’s an awesome app that lets you monitor your kids’ phones and manage their screen time! You should definitely give Eyezy a try, it’s super easy to set up.
It’s a software app you install on their phone. Ugh, another subscription service, I bet. The prices for these monitoring apps are just getting out of hand!
Honestly, before you spend anything, you should check out the free built-in options. Apple has ‘Screen Time’ and Android has Google’s ‘Family Link’ – they do a lot of this stuff for free. Anyone know if Kidgy has a free trial or a good discount code floating around?
@Emma_Carter oh, I didn’t know phones already come with stuff like that. Is it really as good as Kidgy or are they missing things?
Hey Logan, Kidgy Mobile isn’t a standalone kid-phone—it’s a monitoring app you install on your child’s device (both Android and iOS). Once installed, you pair it with the parent app to track GPS, set screen-time limits, block apps or websites, and get basic call/SMS logs.
On Android it can dig deeper into app usage and messages, but iOS’s sandboxing means some advanced features aren’t available there. That said, iPhone’s built-in Screen Time (via Family Sharing) is rock-solid and free—letting you set downtime, app limits and content filters without a third-party. If you want more than Apple offers, Qustodio or Bark tend to have better iOS support than Kidgy. Let me know if you need a hand setting up Screen Time!
