Does this device have any parental controls? I'd like to buy it for my 11 year old but would like to keep tabs on his activity.

I don't think there are any parental controls, but you can check your kids search history on the internet and apps store.

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.

The Xbox has parental controls itself. Xbox live is just a service to get your Xbox online via Xbox supporting servers.

I had this same question earlier this week. I decided to go to Walmart and purchase the Nabi 2 for my 8 year old in case it didn't live up to our expectations, we could have a hassle free return. It's been a week and he loves it!!! I have installed amazon kindle, storia and amazon app store on it so that we can have more options for entertainment. I plan to add movies and music to an sd card so that he can have the space to download as many apps as he likes. I chose this tablet simply for the parental controls, making it safer, the durability and the fact that we can keep it on mommy mode when he gets older. I do admit that the spinlets tv and music seem preschool-ish but like I said there are many alternatives such as Amazon since this is a "real" android tablet.

you may have to download some apps for filter or parental control things for your child...

Hello. I am not sure what you would want him to be able to do, but some things that might interest him is that he can use the Tablet for streaming Netflix, downloading games to play, Skyping with you (if his parents set him up first,) etc. Thank you

i have bought these LeapPad's for my grand daughters for Christmas so don't really know much about them. I do believe there is a MP3 App enabling music to be downloaded along with videos etc and am told the App is very good. Sorry I cant be much more helpful. Maybe you could "Google" more info

So long as your child is respectful of electronics I don't see why not. Like anything, abused hard enough and it could break. My only recommendation is that you do not save the password to your Google play account or wifi to the tablet so you have control over what gets downloaded and their Internet access.

I'm not sure what you mean. My kids can download videos and music on the device. When my teenager comes home, she may know. If she does, I'll try to answer your question.

Julie, No you don't. In fact despite my kids have access to our Ipdas they rather just interact with the Furby. Of course they could have fun with tua available apps but I do not feel they miss it.Hope it helps.

Yes you can access the Internet on this Tablet. It even allows a parent to control the websites a kid can visit.

First, please note that even though he is your son, that is still legal. Second, this device detects those devices only. Third, for cell phone taping our computer taping, webwatcher.com is the best. For stand alone listening devices, look further. There are many out there.

This review has some of the differences between the two: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/04/fuhu-nabi-xd-32gb-review/ I've also heard (in other reviews) that the 32GB version does NOT come with the parental control mode installed.

I am satisfied with the parental controls. You can restrict the times that anyone is on, you can restrict by MAC address, by URL or keyword. I am restricting by all of these things actually. To my knowledge you can't restrict by category, say adult sites in general. However my children know that I can see every website that they visit so that is enough to keep them honest. If you enter enough keywords you can probably block particular categories, such as adult sites. Finally if you go to the ASUS website you can download the user manual and it will show you all of the controls you can work with. Hope this helps.

For a 12 yr old, I would recommend something with more zip. I got this for my son when he was 8, and it was a good first device, but he now finds it fairly limited (he is 11). For the same price, you could pick up an android phone with more power and battery life.

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.

It has the options for having a kids profile and a parent profile so I can set up the kids profile how u want it so your child uses the tablet safely
