Getting worried every time your kids grab your iPhone? Maybe you already know that iPhone (as well as iPod Touch) support parental control allowing you to disable a number of features. And after you set limits on browsing through Safari, the further step you can take for your kids’ safety is using a browser like Mobicip (an iApp available for free). Once you get an account on mobicip.com, you can select the level of filtering based on your child’s age group by school (contents and categories can be either allowed or blocked for elementary, middle and high school kids). You may even set shortcuts to websites that you consider useful for you child (such as Wikipedia, Britannica, HowStuffWorks, etc.) And if you’re not satisfied with Mobicip, there are two further browsers available: iWonderSurfWebBrowser and Safe Eye Mobile.
