Dropped the ball on this one. This should be meet your needs: http://www.thewiredhomescho...

Basically, you're looking at the detail, accuracy and reliability of the reports from CE vs X3.

Incidentally, this blog is inactive.

Re: Covenant Eyes is Looking for Android App Testers

(its me again). Got the message that you will forward the recommendation. Thanks!

Actually, if it is possible to detect installed apps (and I think it is), you might even warn when there are other browsers on EVERY report. If there is a non-tracked browser on the phone, the accountability partner should know about that on EVERY report. Otherwise, frankly the entire exercise seems pointless. It takes 60 seconds to download and install another browser, and even if you are locked into the ap store its not hard, the browser website will auto-send you the install in an email to your phone. And it isnt as though these products are hidden red-light-zone no-nos, I have dolphin HD browser advertised, even pushed at me, from all over the web.

Nothing can protect against a person intent upon doing something on a continuous basis, but Ive found that the correct precautions do protect against someone who is intent upon doing something for an hour or two at home at night, and then repents in the morning and does everything he can to confess and block whatever loophole he used the night before.

CE + OpenDNS is a convenient, iron clad, non-invasive, double-layer effective solution at home for me, even though I live alone. I had to also do the following: use an un-memorizable key on my router (to secure OpenDNS) and lock my router/dsl-modem inside a box and put the key at work. But it works!.... except for the darn cell phone. when I really want to look at something, the cell phone is the weak chain in the link. Sometimes it gets me.

I am a new user of CE:
Mac + Windows + Android.
It is running smoothly on all platforms, thank you guys.

I just got a call from someone from CE. Im really glad they take such an interest in new users. He asked if I had any questions and my questions were all about Android. To make a long story short, I told him that I have uninstalled all non-stock browsers (dolphin HD and opera), but must urge him to ask the developers to clearly flag the download of alternate browsers in the report. Otherwise, frankly, Im basically under the same honor system I was on before I installed CE.

Im a single guy, I dont have anyone like a wife who is going to stop what they are doing for an hour each week and plow through every single detail of a report and research it. I know the guy I was able to get as an accountability partner is only going to be looking for flagged or suspicious items and maybe check on those. He is active in church activities, and is going through chemotherapy and has a family and a job.
Burying the handful of obviously dangerous apps (like other browsers) inside the report makes no sense. I know he wont see it. The entire reason I am using CE and not the cheaper X3 is that you cant just walk around it by changing browsers (or so people say). If you can just walk around CE by changing browsers then it is just a fig leaf.
He said that I could have all ap installs locked down and make an appointment to discuss with my accountability partner any time I want to try a new ap on my phone.
Huh?!!! Just trying to find apps to work with my diet I install and uninstall dozens.
Look I understand you guys can only do what is possible. But, since you are already able to detect installs, Please consider doing the following:
1. Lock in the android setting that limits installed aps to the below the age-18-and-over level (its already an option in android in settings). 2. Lock off the option to install apps from outside the android ap store (also an option in android settings)3. WARN clearly in the report about downloading anything that is categorized as a browser4. Keep a list of the few other aps (if there are any) that are also an issue and WARN on those too.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS, so that CE will actually be more than a fig leaf on the Android.
Thanks for all your work on CE.
