iPhone Parental Control Software?

[Aaron Melton <aaron () aaronmelton com>]

Hi Paildotcom crew,

I received a request from a friend for a recommendation for parental control software on an iPhone. Since I don't have 
any first-hand experience with any available apps out there, I thought I would reach out to the group. 

As it stands now, they've used the parental control features of iOS to lock down access to anything but the default 
apps on the phone. The teen does not have access to install any additional apps. The parents would like to monitor text 
messages, Safari and YouTube usage. I'm assuming additional controls to block/filter content would be wanted features 
as well. 

It seems that the iOS market is limited to replacing these applications with vendor supplied apps to achieve these 
controls. Aside from jail breaking the phone (which I have not yet looked into), there appears to be limitations of the 
iOS environment to change the behavior of these default-installed applications outside the built-in parental controls. 

Do you have any first-hand experience implementing these type controls and if so, what would you recommend?

Thanks!
Aaron
