Questions

App Blocker — the questions parents ask

Does my child know FlashDroid is there?+

Yes. FlashDroid is visible on their phone under its own name and consent is recorded at pairing — it isn’t a hidden or secret tool.

Can my child get around a blocked app?+

Blocks hold on the device. You can also mark apps that must stay open no matter what.
