My wife and daughter are both on S5 via T-Mobile. I am also on an S5 but its with Verizon.
We are wanting an app that will allow us to see ALL txt's and pics sent and received as well as any installs my daughter does with her phone. We pretty much want to see everything and be able to block/lock it down as needed.

I've searched this site as well as a general web search but wanted to hear from the 'droid gurus on what really works and what doesn't.

Thanks guys!

As parents, we always want what's best for our children. In this new era of technology, children spent most of their time on their PC, Android phones, and tablets. My Mobile watch dog might be the best for what you are looking for. My Mobile Watchdog offers users with a series of powerful parental controls that allow mom and dad to see phone call logs, read text messages on their children phones, set Web blocking and time blocking, remotely block and grant access to apps, as well as find out where your child is through GPS.

We just got our daughter a smart phone and would not have done so without being able to have these sort of protections/precautions. I looked around and found Funamo, which looks to do the things mentioned above (My Mobile Watch Dog). Funamo has a 2 day trial period and then a one time fee of 19.99. It's only been 2 weeks, but we love it and it's working as expected.
