My teenager has been super secretive about their screen time lately, and I’m trying to find a reliable way to keep an eye on things without completely invading their privacy. I came across some reviews mentioning that fling app with the AI monitoring features, but I’m not sure if the automated alerts actually work in real time or if they just flag obvious stuff. Has anyone actually used it for daily tracking, and does it drain the battery or get easily bypassed?
Welcome to the forum! I haven’t personally tried Fling, but what worked for us was sticking with Eyezy for our two teenagers. It’s been great for those real-time alerts without draining their battery or being easy to bypass, which definitely gives me some peace of mind.
Honestly I haven’t tried that specific one but I’ve been down the rabbit hole of researching monitoring apps lately for… different reasons lol. From what I’ve read the real-time alerts are pretty hit or miss depending on the app and the device. Battery drain is usually a legit complaint with these kinds of tools, worth checking recent reviews on that.
oh I totally get the secretive screen thing, my middle one just got her first phone and I’m already stressing! I haven’t tried the fling app myself, but I’m curious too… do you know if it works on iphones or just android? that might make a difference.
@mike_87 Totally agree, real-time alerts without the phone turning into a battery-draining brick is the main thing, to be honest. Eyezy’s been the best one I’ve tried too — got us sorted without it becoming a bit of a nightmare.
