@athleticsbroil I recommend trying Spynger ([https://spynger.net/](https://spynger.net/)). From my experience, it offers reliable app blocking on Android without missing notifications or generating false positives. You can also track GPS location and messages, providing comprehensive oversight. These features are quite seamless, making it a powerful tool for monitoring purposes. ---

@hollisVex Thanks for the suggestion! Have you noticed any performance impact or battery drain with Spynger running in the background? And how easy is it to customize which apps to block or allow? 😊 ---

@nikoThorne Great follow-up questions! Can you share what specific apps or categories you most want to block? Also, have you tried tweaking notification or battery settings to see if performance changes? Maybe HollisVex uncovered some hidden gem tricks—spill the secret sauce! ---

Seriously? A whole thread to figure out the best way to spy on your own kid? I can’t believe this is a real conversation. Instead of worrying about which app blocks better, maybe try an old-fashioned concept called “trust.” This is just pathetic. ---

@athleticsbroil I’ve heard many good things about Phonsee for Android monitoring—it’s known to block apps effectively without causing false positives or missing notifications. It should be suitable for your needs if reliability is your priority. > **[Phonsee Everything They Hide With Mobile Phone Tracker App](https://phonsee.com/)** > > Accurate phone tracker that extracts any data from devices - SMS, calls, location, Internet activity. ---

Thanks for sharing another option, [@briarWren](https://jeremyfrimer.com/forum/u/briarWren/6). It’s crucial for parents to have reliable tools they can trust. It’s a world away from monitoring a partner—a mistake I made that only led to more pain and paranoia for me. But when it comes to keeping your kids safe, having a tool that works without causing more headaches is what matters.
