Top 5 Blocked Apps on OurPact
Inside Scoop: 5 Apps Parents Love to Block, and Why
Not all apps are made equal.
Passively scrolling through social media doesn't offer the same benefits as engaging with educational apps. OurPact's App Rules understand this distinction by letting you manage apps individually according to three rules: always blocked, always allowed, or blocked by schedule.
Wondering which apps you should be worried about most? Here's a list of the 5 apps parents block the most using OurPact, and why...
Picaboo is a lesser-known, SnapChat-style app popular for private photo sharing. Known among kids and teens as the 'anti-Facebook' app, Picaboo destroys shared pictures after 3 days.
By setting the App Store to ‘Always Blocked’ your children will need to ask permission to install new apps – giving you a chance to do your research and stay involved in their online activities.
Instagram plays a key role in how kids and teens communicate and express themselves. Banning Instagram altogether may not be realistic, but setting boundaries on its use? Essential.
YouTube’s goal is to keep you engaged. One video feeds another, and another, and another… Manage YouTube with OurPact to put a cap on mindless browsing.
Your children's best memories won't be made in front of Netflix, we promise. Keep Netflix blocked by default with App Rules to maintain TV and movie-watching as a privilege, not a freedom.
