SHOTLAPSE PARENTAL MONITOR Shotlapse is a parental monitoring app that is simple, yet thorough. It works by capturing screenshots in regular intervals while activity is taking place within the browser. The screenshots are then sent to the admin’s (ie. The parent’s) account on Shotlapse.com. Simply log in and quickly view the high-level activity of all the devices you are monitoring. The app takes a screenshot once every 60 seconds. EASY TO USE! Notice: making use of this app requires that you set up an account with www.shotlapse.com before you can login to this app. Also please take note that, due to Apple’s privacy policies, we could NOT build an app that monitors activity across all other apps on your iPhone or Apple device. Instead, this app is a browser that captures activity while the user surfs the internet using this app. This app does not monitor other apps. So in order to ensure complete monitoring, it is advised that you delete and block all other internet-accessing apps off of the device being monitored and use only the Shotlapse browser to do all internet surfing.
