Child Safety on iPhone Now Improved by Content Filtering App

Most parents already know that iPhone and iPod touch have become powerful status symbols for many teenagers and children as they spend a good part of their day with the device to search the web, exchange email or text messages. These days, even schools are experimenting with integrating these gadgets into their classrooms and curriculum.

But, how can parents ensure their children stay protected from innapropriate online material while surfing Safari on their iPhone or iPod touch? The answer is: content filtering.

Mobicip Kid-Safe Browser is the first “free browser” that protects children from inappropriate web content on the iPhone and iPod touch. Although hailed as a “browser,” this is actually a content filtering app and is available for parents to download from  Apple’s App Store. The best of all - it’s free. A premium (paid) application with more flexible configuration capabilities and supporting multiple platforms for a single subscription is currently under the development and will be released shortly.

Mobicip uses dynamic content filter that allows children to access age-appropriate web content on smartphones, netbooks gaming units and other personal internet devices. Unlike URL-filtering solutions, Mobicip does not just block certain predetermined websites. It dynamically views the content on each website and makes a determination to allow or disallow the content based on the chosen filtering level.

Parents can sign up on www.mobicip.com/iphone and choose between three predefined levels of filtering based on the age of the child. A demo is available at here.

Price: Free (download).
