curbi Parental Control System First to Provide Remote Rules Enforcement for Apple Mobile Devices in Any Mode

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Parents now have the ability to remotely control their children's internet and mobile app usage on Apple mobile devices regardless of connection mode: home networks, public Wi-Fi or 3G/4G mobile internet. The advanced features of the curbi parental control system help parents to curb, block and watch their children's activity on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch mobile devices. Parents can use curbi to teach their children healthy habits by setting and enforcing rules, as well as timeouts.

The curbi parental control system is an advanced yet flexible service that is easy to use and quick to install on a child's iOS 6 or newer device. Once installed, the mobile device can be controlled by parents or guardians from any Web browser or via the curbi app on iOS devices. Developed by a team of parents in response to their own frustrations with enforcing mobile device rules with their children, curbi is designed to be a positive parenting tool to help set healthy screen time and Internet content and app limits. curbi is free for a 14-day trial from www.curbi.com or the App Store with a monthly subscription of $6.99.

Key curbi features
The curbi system can be used to manage unlimited iOS devices and performs three key roles:

• Curb: Allows parents to curb their child's time spent online, including limiting usage of popular social media, TV and video sites, as well as specific websites access, allowing parents to set boundaries on what their children can do and when.
• Block: Always blocks adult and other inappropriate content and makes it easy to block broad categories such as advertising sites or specific problem websites. Parents can also restrict multiple features on their children's device such as in-app purchases, installing apps and the camera.
• Watch: Enables parents to watch their children's internet usage with detailed reporting including weekly email reports that show web usage and recent app installations.
