TeenSafe Adds Scheduling to Industry Leading Parental Smartphone Control App
Control Screen Time in the Summertime
LOS ANGELES, June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TeenSafe, the first independent smartphone control and monitoring service for parents, today announces smartphone Scheduling as part of TeenSafe Control App. The app helps parents combat #donttextanddrive, #fightscreenaddiction and other digital challenges. The iPhone iOS Control App can be downloaded from the Apple App Store for $9.99 a month.
Now, parents can easily set schedules for smartphone use around bedtime, dinnertime and most significantly, parents can prevent texting and driving. According to the Institute of Highway Safety, texting while driving causes 11 teen deaths per day. The new scheduling feature allows parents to block smartphone use while driving including Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook.
Scheduling also gives parents a tool to stop overuse of smartphones which can lead to screen addiction. Parents can simply disable smartphone access while the teens/tweens should be sleeping, playing or during family meals.
"Free time in the summer leads to more screen time and possibly online problems. TeenSafe gives parents valuable tools to control the many smartphone safety issues, in the process creating digital-safety savvy parents," said Ralph Acosta, CEO, TeenSafe. "Our website has many online safety tips for parents including this blog article on "8 Summer Screen-free Ideas."
