The Relution Parent App extends the scope of Relution's Mobile Device Management (MDM) system with a user-friendly solution for parents and to increase the protection of children in the digital age. The app enables you to manage the use of children's devices outside of school hours by allowing you to remotely select which apps your children are allowed to use.
