Samsung releases the Marshmallow app, a parental control that allows you to monitor children’s use of electronic devices
The relationship between smartphones and children is always very complicated. There are two completely different lines of thought: those who are in favor of the use of smartphones, and electronic devices in general by children, and those who are against.
To say who is right and who is wrong is impossible. Each of the two “factions” supports its own conviction with shared analysis, but it is useless to deny that smartphones and tablets are the devices of the present and the future. Erasing them from a child’s life, besides being anachronistic, is also very complicated. But keeping teenagers’ use of electronic devices under control is the duty of every parent. It is usually done through parental control, an application that restricts the use of smartphones, tablets and consoles, setting a time limit and prohibiting access to certain applications. Samsung has launched Marshmallow, an application that revolutionizes the concept of parental control.
How Samsung Marshmallow Works
Samsung Marshmallow has just been launched on the Google Play Store and has already made people talk about how it works. In fact, the application totally changes the approach to parental control: usually parents decide how long the child can use the smartphone and which apps they can use. Samsung Marshmallow, on the other hand, gives maximum freedom to children, so that they understand for themselves how long they can use the device. Making children feel confident is the best way to empower them. Logically, parents can remotely monitor the time their children spend on the smartphone through daily and weekly reports. If the child is abusing the trust placed in them, the parent can take matters into their own hands and decide to set limits.
Rewards for rule-abiding
If kids follow the rules, they earn points that can be accumulated for rewards. In fact, depending on the points collected, users will be able to redeem gift cards to spend on popular e-commerce sites. Samsung Marshmallow is definitely an interesting application that brings a different approach to the world of parental controls.
