If people *read* instructions and disable safari and app store (with a password even) then this is a great solution. I also removed youtube but that is up to you. Remember to set up a user for yourself if you want to visit a more mature site ;-) this app works well.

They can browse, but not buy. My kids find Apps they want and then ask me to purchase them..<br><br>One problem I still see is that non-kid-friendly search results come up in the App Store even though, they wouldn't be able to buy them even with the password due to the parental control restrictions (the app is rated a higher age than their setting). So Apple needs to also filter the App Store search results to provide only apps within the parental control range. Or, just don't give the child the password to the AppStore.

This would prevent them from being able to download their own browser. If they want to download apps, just allow them to do it in your presence, then lock the app store back.

Of course it's useless if you forget that step. You have to disable Safari in the application settings, like the article says. Of course it's useless if you forget that step.

But the idea to create Mobicip Kid is really great and needed for many people. I will definitely search other such kind applications and read about them.
