WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT BRIGHTCANARY “My child has severe depression so it’s important that I monitor her for safety reasons. Your app has essentially helped us save her life. I can’t thank you enough for everything you are doing with this amazing app. Please know how much of an incredible difference you are making for us as a family. Thank you!” — Maya, mom of 1 “The app monitors for adult images in messages and any concerning content in search, without me having to look through my son’s phone. Which has helped me find the right balance between trust and safety. Highly recommend it!” — Linda, mom of 2 "A 13 year old from a nearby middle school died in his bedroom after taking what he thought was a muscle relaxant. It turned out to be a counterfeit that was laced and he ordered it like a pizza through a social media app. Parents, we need to supervise. This app is the best one I’ve found to do that. And it monitors DMs." — Donna, mom of 2 SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Payment will be charged to your iTunes account.
