Boomerang

Boomerang lets you manage your child’s use of a smartphone and/or tablet.

Boomerang aims to protect children as they navigate through the world of technology – taking advantage of its vast resources, while limiting time wastage and eliminating explicit and dangerous content.

Our powerful monitoring and safety software gives you timely information so you know when intervention is needed. Boomerang provides the following set of features for Android-powered smartphones and tablets.

Screen Time: We provide a recommended amount of screen time on your child’s device as per The Canadian Paediatrics Society (CPS) and The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP). Parents can always set times that are perfect for their family's schedule.

Safe Browser: We automatically install SPIN, our safe web browser and prohibit all other web browsers. SPIN has built-in categories that filter out subjects like Porn, Drugs, Hate and many others.

Child Dashboard: Your child’s dashboard is free from addictive games! Select apps, websites and phone numbers that are always allowed and we even provide some recommendations.

Messaging Safety: Receive notification when inappropriate keywords are detected on your child’s messaging app. Support your child if she/he has received a cyberbullying or self-harm message.

Geofencing: Fence off an area on a map where your child should be. Get notified if your child decides to leave a baseball practice early and visits a friend instead.

Easy Installation: With input from professionals and the community, our unique onboarding approach provides expert recommendations so all you have to do is pick a username and password.

My Account: Use our advanced functionality to completely customize your child’s configuration. Further tweak screen time, apps, websites, phone numbers, categories, dictionary, reports and settings.
