Can I block specific apps on an iphone with Skydog? For example I would like to block the use of youtube during certain hours for the iphone app, but the access is via the youtube app, not via the web browser on the iphone or ipad.

I believe that is possible. You can control devices independently assigning time periods and levels of security. I would say that the difficulty of setup is about medium difficulty for someone that is computer savvy. It could be difficult for the average person. I have set up 2 of these units for my daughters to protect their young kids and I would have to say that it work as wellor better than the $3000.00 box we have at work

Yes, you can block access to certain sites even when accessed from an iPhone. Even though the iPhone is using an App to access YouTube, FaceBook, etc., it still is accessing those sites through the router... which you have control of. Sometimes you have to look at the router's log to figure out the various sites that an app uses. For example, if you run Apple's iTunes to watch a TV show, you will see in SkyDog's logs that it uses a site called "....akamaiedge.net".

Yes you can. The app still uses the same protocol and web addresses. You would make a policy set with youtube that you would apply for certain times, then another without youtube for the other times for that user.

When I paste the link https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/renew-sleepclock/id468126553?mt=8, this message comes up - The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store.I can't find the app anywhere.

Yes, it had some sort of code that the Ubooly app asks for. I think you can use the app without it though.

The app is:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/renew-sleepclock/id468126553?mt=8However, the cloud-based parts of the app currently do not work.

I have various apps from Apple/itune and other vendors. You need to look at the functionality if the vendor/ creator of the app is different (and look at the reviews).

The iPhone app has a sleep timer and alarm function, or you can use your normal iPhone alarm while the iPhone/iPod is docked. It doesn't have a stand-alone alarm function.

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.

I can't say it any better than the previous responders, they are right on. If you want to actually block a specific number, that is probably a function of the capability/capacity of your telephone provider. I truly have not had to enter numbers to block since I bought the TeleBouncer.

No. You can access it on the browser, and Microsoft has a youtube in the app store, but I read that it wasn't very good. I got a free app by a third party and it works well.

The activation issue may only be an issue with Apple users. I have heard from a reputable source (Security Now podcast ep: 545) that the Google app still works. I have not used it personally.

Yes. Skydog has a feature called Web Access History that will log site history for a user. In addition, there is a feature called Watch List where you can monitor individual or groups of sites and get reports on how long a particular user has spent on those sites. Also, you can set an alert (email and/or SMS) which will alert you when the usage of a website has hit a certain amount based on what you set. For example, I can setup a text alert to notify me when a user on my network has reached 1 hour of usage of facebook.

It does work with Youtube but, no, it does not work with the new IOS. It will tell you it is not compatible once connected.

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.

Nothing up-to-date. In the AppStore there appears to be newer apps but there's always a glitch when downloading it.

I'm pretty sure apps are universal...if you can download it then you can use it. Just like you can access any URL across the globe.
