## What is Safe Web for kids?

■■ DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY BROWSE WITH YOUR iOS DEVICE? Look at the stats! ■■

■ 12% of Internet sites are of adult content. 
■ 25% of all search engines requests are adult content oriented. 
■ 34% of Internet users have experienced unwanted exposure to adult content. 
■ The average age at which your children first see adult content online is 11 and going down... 
  
Safe Web is a web browser for iPhone and iPad devices. Don't worry about what your children browse as they will only see what you let them see. Safe Web is a whitelist based Internet browser that only allows navigation to your predefined websites or domains. It creates a sandbox environment where the user can't leave the bookmarked websites. For example: you can have google.com unlocked but they cannot browse to any search result that is not in the whitelist. 

They exist other filtering solutions but they are based on just filtering already known dangerous websites. Don't trust in this kind of browsers! Hundreds of harmful sites are appearing everyday and that kind of browsers will not filter them until several weeks or months, meanwhile... your children are exposed to them. With Safe Web it won't happen again!

■■ WHAT OTHERS SAY ■■

"This is total control and safety. All filters fail you. This does not. Enter your beloved URLs and have a friend enter a new (and unknown to you) password. This is not just for kids. It's for anyone who doesn't want to mess with messing up their lives. THANK YOU!"

"This is the only filter that I have seen which can give complete control to parents. Kids are only allowed to see websites that have been approved by parents. This is so important because kids can get around so many of the other filters that are out there."
— by Qawwali Q —

"Would highly recommend this app to anyone who is looking to only visit or allow select websites. It works very well."
— by Stevenboe007 —

"This filter does everything we want it too simply blocks all sites but the ones we approve. Totally satisfied with it."

### 5/5 — Great way to restrict kids

*2022-07-18, version 2.3*

I’ve spent several hours testing. It works perfect.   There is no way to leave a site.  Obviously you would not make one of the sites google.com.  Google stores snapshot images on its site. But you can set to a site where you are confident of its content restrictions and the child stays there. 
There is no way to get to non-whitelisted sites.   We use to restrict access to just certain sites.  New bookmarks require a password to be created. There is no address bar, as user is restricted to pages on a url.  The app works by stripping out all links to pages not on the allowed url.

### 1/5 — Product does not work, scam!

*2020-08-18, version 2.3*

Can't even click the settings, total scam

### 1/5 — Can still get around the filter

*2019-05-06, version 2.3*

This was bypassed almost immediately.  All you need to do is go to google search and use images.  All the images came up and was able to click on them.  Waste of 5 bucks.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2019-03-15, version 2.3*

Lets you easily create an internet whitelist without having to jump through hoops.

### 1/5 — Total waste of money

*2017-09-12, version 2.3*

This app wastes 4.99 out of your pay. It shows you nothing that you want and it is completely overpriced considering it's phony development. Long story short if I could I would give this app -7 stars ✨😡

### 5/5 — Most effective filter for kids

*2014-02-26, version 1.4.5*

This is the only filter that I have seen which can give complete control to parents. Kids are only allowed to see websites that have been approved by parents.  This is so important because kids can get around so many of the other filters that are out there

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2012-12-31, version 1.4.2*

Thank You

### 1/5 — Kids future

*2012-11-23, version 1.4.2*

### 4/5 — Good for us

*2012-10-05, version 1.4*

This filter does everything we want it too- simply blocks all sites but the ones we approve. Totally satisfied with it.
