We followed Net Nanny's advice, visiting on our child's Android app, clicking a link to visit the relevant Google Play page, and installing the app.

It was also good to see the company send us an email with more instructions, so even if we had to give up on our current session, we'd have guidance on what to do next. This can look a little intimidating, but there's a plus in NetNanny's live chat support (Monday to Friday, 10am to 7pm EST.) It's not 24/7, but it beats many smaller companies, which often provide support via email only. We entered our email address and chose a password to create an account, chose the free three-day trial, and the app launched a wizard to help us begin. Net Nanny's setup process began when we installed the parent's app. Even just a day or two is better than nothing, though, and even if you sign up and regret it, you can still ask for a refund within the first 14 days. The website explains you get 14 free days with the Android app, for instance, then we installed it and were offered three. Net Nanny's trial scheme isn't exactly clear. Test out Net Nanny for yourself with a free trial that doesn't require any payment details (Image credit: Net Nanny) Kaspersky Safe Kids doesn't have the real-time content filtering you'll get with Net Nanny, but it more than covers the parental controls basics, and it costs just $15 to protect unlimited devices for a year. There are significantly cheaper apps around, though. Bark also uses text analysis to spot issues in web content, but isn't as successful as Net Nanny, and it costs a similar $99 a year to cover unlimited devices. That's not an unusual price for Net Nanny's level of features. Still, it's possible the prices will be significantly higher by the time you read this.) (As we write, the company says these prices are discounted, with '30% off for a limited time.' A quick visit to the Wayback Machine showed Net Nanny offering the same prices six months ago, though, so it doesn't seem that limited. The second covers up to five desktop or mobile devices for $55, and the third protects up to 20 devices for an annual $90. The first protects a single desktop for $40 a year. Net Nanny's pricing is a little more complicated than usual, with three plans on offer. That's an issue with all parental controls apps, though, and the ability to offer even partial protection on desktops is still a major plus point. Keep in mind that features vary depending on the platform - Windows and Mac laptops don't support location tracking, for instance. Support for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Kindle Fire ensures you can run Net Nanny just about anywhere.
