OurPact Summits Parenting Software Landscape with Release of Family Locator and Screen Time Allowance
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 07, 2017 -- OurPact, the leading parental control application, has announced two major upgrades to complement their already successful feature-set: Screen Time Allowance, and Family Locator.
Eturi Corp.’s OurPact gained immediate popularity with its first release by enabling parents to remotely manage their children’s mobile device habits through at-a-touch and scheduled blocking of internet and applications. Since then, the product’s enhancements have come in quick succession, each more impressive than the last.
OurPact’s last release announced selective app blocking – allowing parents to leave educational apps available while blocking distracting social media and games, for example – and ‘App Lists,’ which shows parents a list of all installed apps on their children’s devices. It also extended management of iMessage and SMS, a first for the iOS control landscape that attracted parents in droves. The innovative platform’s latest update includes two major enhancements, both requested by the user community:
- Family Locator: Child device locations can be monitored (without Apple ID) from the OurPact dashboard in real-time, allowing families to coordinate pickups and – most importantly – ensure children’s safety from anywhere, and at any time.
- Screen Time Allowance: Parents can instill healthy device habits by setting daily screen time limits (eg. an hour a day during the week, two hours a day over the weekend), which children then manage independently through a separate child application.
According to Jim Magner, the President and COO of Eturi Corp., these two latest updates set a new precedence for remote management.
“Our goal is to develop the ultimate, comprehensive solution for families,” Magner shares. “Parents don’t want a handful of apps serving different purposes, they want simplicity. [Screen Time] Allowance improves our existing feature set by involving children as responsible, independent participants in managing their media diets. With Family Locator, it’s all about saving time and peace of mind. We’re meeting complicated needs in a simple dashboard; OurPact truly is the modern, catch-all solution for parents.”
