If you're looking for a way to manage your family's screen time, Circle With Disney might be the solution. It's pretty tricky to find in Canada right now, but I just spotted it at Amazon for only $63.99.
In a nutshell, Circle With Disney is a smart home device that lets you install parental controls to monitor and manage internet usage, so you know exactly what your kids are doing online and how often.
It recognizes wireless devices (running iOS 9, Android 4.2 or higher) and wired devices on your home network and allows you to set daily time limits for apps like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and more.
You can set different filters to limit what your kids see when they're online. And yes, you can even set a bedtime to make sure devices are actually turned off when you tuck them in at night.
And here's where things get really cool. If you want to keep everyone off their phone during dinner or a family game night, just hit "pause" to temporarily turn off internet access on all connected devices. When things are back on, you can even see where your kids spend their time online.
Now, I know this isn't the lowest price we've ever seen. Best Buy once had these devices for just $49.99, but they're long of stock there. Shipping from Amazon is free, since Circle With Disney is more than $35.
Be sure to double check to see if it will work with your router. It doesn’t work with TELUS routers at all.
Good to know!
Do you need to a subscription with this?
No!
jacinthe,
Not sure what you are talking about. Mine works with my Telus router although may be a newer one as I just installed in Dec.
I have read ther are various that it may not work with
Google Family Link is free and it is better if you have android devices ):
