## What is Lion Browser?

The best browser for teens. A powerful accountability tool for adults.

Lion is a web browser with parental controls built in. Give your teen the freedom to explore the internet responsibly — while staying informed about what they're seeing.

For parents & teens:
• Blocks explicit websites and detects inappropriate images automatically
• Customize detection sensitivity, block specific sites, and manage media access
• Whitelist mode for complete control over which websites can be visited
• PIN-protected settings prevent unauthorized changes
• Weekly accountability reports summarize any flagged content

For adults who want accountability:
• Set personal browsing limits and stay accountable to a trusted partner
• Private and secure — your logs stay on your device, never stored on servers
• Customize what to track, block, or filter based on your needs

How it works:
1. Set Lion as the default browser
2. Disable Safari using Screen Time
3. Add an accountability partner — a parent, mentor, or trusted friend
4. Browse the web — Lion logs activity based on your settings
5. Receive weekly reports on flagged content

A browser you'll actually want to use
Lion is fast, smooth, and familiar. Bookmarks sync across devices. Tabs work like you'd expect. It's a real browser — not a locked-down kids app.

Subscription required for full access. Choose an Individual or Family plan.

### 4/5 — Comprehensive

*2026-05-14, version 4.0.4*

I liked the fact that the app covered AI and YouTube specifically. As well as the various filters that can be used. I found it a bit confusing as to whether the user had to specifically go through the Lion browser app for it to work. I thought it was installed and working on my phone but was able to search basic stuff I thought it might flag and didn’t get any notifications. Personally I feel that I needed more detailed instructions on how to setup the various apps and if I needed them all or if there was one all encompassing version of the app. I wish that separate accounts could be setup for different family members to set different parental controls. With more guidance I feel this app set is very useful for parents.

### 5/5 — Great Browser!

*2026-04-14*

I have been using this browser from its beginning! It is a great accountability app that has modernized with technology! It works just like mainstream browsers with added features! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-15*

Amazing browser! I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Effective

*2026-03-15, version 3.3.1*

This app is perfect for blocking bad habits and addiction. I recommend that people helping their family remove access to the App Store and keep the password hidden so that there is no way around the Lion Browser.

### 4/5 — Affordable monitoring

*2026-03-15, version 3.3.1*

Affordable and manageable however connecting with support is not always easy. Forgot password feature doesnt work.

### 4/5 — Good so far

*2026-02-28*

Been using the lion browser for several years, love it, just upgraded to the family app

### 5/5 — Using AI for good

*2026-01-03*

Lion Browser uses AI to detect explicit images on websites. When it detects something it flags that website and adds it to a weekly log that it sends to parents or partners. It’s the best app to teach teens how to be responsible online. Also I love that it has a whitelist because my younger kids can use it then. Only the websites I approve can be visited. Super helpful for homeschooling.

### 5/5 — Great accountability tool

*2025-11-14*

The browser is done very well. Easy to use. I really appreciate being able to set attraction type when setting alerts for the app, and I like the color theme controls. Only issue is that the scrolling feels just a little bit off at times.

### 5/5 — Great Browser

*2025-09-23*

Lion Browser is a solid browser because it has parental controls built in. I love that we can get daily history logs for my teen daughter to keep her accountable and responsible online.

### 5/5 — A gem

*2025-08-14*

This browser is great and reliable. The price is sooooo good for the price
