This device is the worst purchase I've ever made. Do not buy. There is no parental controls

I do not know if there is a spam control on the unit, but I do know that my parents have never had any problems with spam in the 8+ years they have had a MailBug.

You can download an APP for parental control if do you want, some apps like Mobicip, Funamo, Norton Family, etc... will work on this android tablet.

it can, there is a parents mode, but it really isn't designed for it. I mean you can Download any android app to it you want, but why would you want too??

Since mine is broken, it's hard to remember the whole control process. But generally speaking control is via WiFi, so it's as secure as the network.

This is a TOY. It is not a computer. It does not support Windows, nor does the NSA use it to spy on your child. This is ONLY A TOY. This message mainly intended for future viewers, and not the original inquirer.

No parental controls on mine. Only new window, bookmarks, windows, refresh, forward and more. It is not under more / settings either. :(

it has wifi. If your house has a modem and a router, then yes it does and yes they can if they're tech savvy. If they don't have a modem and router, you're out of luck. Again, depending on how tech-smart your parents are, they would have set a pass code on the internet access already from the router.

I'm not sure I can completely answer your question. There isn't a control of any kind, you just plug it in.

LOL Yes. It also has an excellent antivirus system that keeps the NSA from spying on your child.

That is exactly what my almost 6-year-old does. Its mostly android apps and netflix viewing. It's great and because it's not a phone and I don't let his device remember my Amazon passwords I'm not worried he's going to accidentally purchase something. There is nothing set up for it to be charged to.

You can tinker with a bit in parental settings, but it does not get much louder...much depends on the app you're running how loud it will get.

We also homeschool, and Skydog has made it possible to set schedules to allow school related sites during school hours. We have customized policies setup for "school time", "free time", etc. Then, late at night, the our kids lose access till the next day's school schedule. Besides the computers, each child's wifi based devices (iPods, phones, etc) and family networked devices (DVD/BlueRay players) are also controlled, so school time can cover everything in the house based on the schedules and policies we've established. It does take a bit of time to get the policies and schedules configured to meet your needs, but it's well worth the effort. Skydog has been really useful to our family.
