To be frank, Eyezy is not a typical parental control app, rather a spying/surveillance app that allows you to monitor your kids’ digital activities on an iOS or Android device. Though Eyezy has some great features for surveillance, some parental control tools are conspicuously absent in it. For example, app usage monitoring and screen time scheduling.
Eyezy lacks compatibility across Mac and Windows devices (except for Google Chrome extension enabled on your desktop, allowing for browsing history and bookmarking).
How Does Eyezy Work?
Eyezy includes some great mobile phone tracking features to monitor what your kids do online and allows you to block adult content or whatever you think is not suitable for them. You can track their location and analyze their phone usage pattern and time duration.
Some of the salient ‘mobile monitoring’ features of Eyezy are listed below:
- Website/Wi-Fi Blocker
- App Blocker
- Phone analyzer
- Keyword tracker
- Social spotlight
- Location tracking
- Geogencing
Is Eyezy Free?
No, the app does not offer any free trial. However, the app has a demo version. Eyezy requires jailbreaking or rooting to access its features.
Is Eyezy Legit?
Oh yes, Eyezy is a real app. However, you must make sure what you will get via this app. Remembr, only the app’s jailbroken or rooted version has the full tracking suite. Therefore, you should make sure if the app is the right solution for your parental control needs.
Is Eyez Expensive?
Fortunately, the app is easily affordable. It costs less than $1 per day.
How to Install Eyezy?
Installing Eyezy can feel a little bit difficult. However, if you follow the step-by-step guide, it will be easy. First you need to register for an Eyezy account and decide how many devices to monitor. Only after Eyezy login, you will be able to explore the app’s monitoring features.
Is Eyezy a Hidden App?
After you install the Eyezy app on your kid’s device, it’s important to enable various permissions. Interestingly one of these permissions makes the app undetectable on your kid’s device.
Eyezy Reviews
Some of the best features of Eyezy app have already been listed above. You should also know the flipsides of the app to decide if it is worth your purchase.
Not all of Eyezy’s features work well. In fact, many Eyezy competitors have far more great features. For example, you will not be able to block the entire app categories on Eyezy. The app’s location tracking sends you an alert message via email if geofencers are breached.
Though Eyezy features an intuitive interface, setting up the app is pretty daunting, especially on iOS devices. You can use WiFi sync or iCloud credentials to monitor your child’s device. You can easily access its advanced features after rooting or jailbreaking your device. This means if you are not sure about what you are doing, you may end up damaging your kid’s phone permanently.
Eyezy underperforms in many areas where competitors perform well. For example, it does not feature any screen time scheduling. When the app allows you to see your child’s keystrokes and text messages, it won’t give you any alerts when your child sends or receives any messages that are not appropriate. In fact, you will have to sift through tons of messages (most of them are innocent) to discover anything appropriate.
Eyezy, unlike typical parental control apps, works differently. Most parental control apps feature a kids’ app and a parents’ app, and allows them to communicate in real time. Eyezy’s web-based dashboard asks your kid to update his/her device every 15 minutes (updates every 5 minutes for the location tracker).
If you block a website or you don’t like some activities on your kid’s device, it won’t be registered on the app until the next update. The update can take as long as 15 minutes (unless you have opted for its Family Kit Plan where you will get instant updates).
Eyezy works on iOS and Android devices. However, the app mostly tracks your child’s contacts and locations. The app’s monitoring system does not work on Windows and Mac, except for restricted web monitoring if you have Google Chrome extension. However, this monitoring is available for only up to 3 devices. Moreover, Eyezy users don’t get a trustworthy money-back guarantee.
