Here's How Amazon’s FreeTime app helps parents to control their kids

Amazon Free Time is now available as an app on Google Play store for both Smartphones and tablets. Before this, the controls were only on Fire Tablets, Kindles, and Fire TV. This can be controlled by their parents by defining the age of their kids and what content they should be able to access, etc.

The Free Time provides access over 40,000 YouTube videos, selected websites and full parental controls just to make sure children are safe when they're are watching videos. It also has a Learn First feature that hides the access to various types of content until they finish their daily educational goals.

Moreover, at night, kids cannot access FreeTime as it's a bedtime and can access in the morning at a time set by parents. Also, parents can also upgrade the Free Time to Unlimited for $2.99 (approx Rs. 192) per month for the prime members, if not, they have to pay $4.99 (approx Rs, 320).
