Lockteens Browser is a Chromium browser, with Self / Parental control filtering. Use it to avoid distractions on the internet. What makes Lockteens Browser special ? - It's impossible to bypass. Most of the Parental control apps in iOS are very easy to bypass. for example: to bypass a VPN filter, you just go to the iOS settings app and disable the VPN... But a browser like the Lockteens Browser, have it's own internal logic, which is impossible to control from the iOS Settings app. - The best Whitelist Filter in the world. This app was designed to be an all stop shop for every Whitelist filtering feature you can think about. - The same popular browser. You will get the same browser experience you get with the other popular browser. but this time - safer with a filter. What does Lockteens include ? - - Parental control. Easy-Peasy, done. - - Self lock, in case you don't have a parent or a friend to manage you. - - AI parent ! (AI GPT-3.5) - - An interactive web UI that contains the whitelist links as draggable items. How does it work ? 1. install the app in iOS. 2. go to our website. 3. use our website to control your iOS app. Notes: - You can see our Terms of Use (EULA) at this link: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - I warmly recommend you to use Apple's Screen time, to block yourself from installing new apps. otherwise Lockteens Browser won't be as effective.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lockteens Browser at none against Hands's 1. Lockteens Browser also leads on ads (none vs shown). Hands's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
