What you get:
• Always know where your kids are when they use a mobile device with GPS tracking.
• Save your kids the dread of an extra phone call - let them tell you they're OK with Safe Check-in.
• Set up, on a map, areas you consider safe or unsafe for your kids. You will be immediately notified when the child enters a restricted area.
• Apps restrictions will enable the parent to allow or block access individually to Camera, FaceTime, Safari and iTunes; or completely allow or block access to all 3rd party apps installed on the device
• Screen time enables parents to decide when the iOS device can be used by the child. The Parent can set specific hour intervals during which the device is restricted from usage.
Note:
Bitdefender Parental Control uses:
• GPS to locate your children's devices. Continuous use of location services, in the background, can drain out the device battery life.
• Mobile Device Management (MDM) to enable parents to remotely control and enforce the Apps restrictions and Screen time

Ratings and Reviews
Doesn’t work well - slow to respond to permission changes
I put this on my son’s phone yesterday and was testing out the features. For apps you can only block ALL the 3rd party apps or none of them. I tested the function for blocking apps. It didn’t work within 15 minutes, so I turned the function back to allow all 3rd party apps.
The next (today) morning my son tries to open a game and the 3rd party apps disappeared. I noticed the allow and block function of the apps was glitchy after saving the settings from the bitdefender central app. I’d go back into the app and the new settings didn’t save. I logged into the website and the settings did save there, but nothing changed on the phone for hours.
After fiddling with the app and Bitdefender central for 2 hours, I tried to connect to chat support. After waiting 15 minutes (for an estimated 5 minute wait with 3 people in front of me - that never changed). I gave up and removed the app and the bitdefender iOS profile settings. Then everything came back and worked fine.
Maybe the apps would’ve come back after more time, but it’s not convenient to wait hours and hours for the bitdefender settings profile to refresh. It’s not worth the hassle.

Not Enough
Does this not take advantage of the website blocking by interest for IOS? In Bitdefender app online I excluded my child from being able to view certain websites. However, this app does not appear to enforce those rules nor does it seem to allow me to block certain applications. Not finding anything clear cut on it this topic so research before buying if purchasing for blocking sites based on content/interest rules or blocking access to apps

Does not work
Might be the worst app release from a major manufacturer I have ever seen. Does not display date age gender when creating profile. If you do get past that step the management profile does not link to central rendering it completely useless. Considering resigning my box as well if this is the quality to expect from this company.
