One should think clearly about the pros and cons -
"Trust" is only possible with auditing and evidence. Without auditing, the correct term is "Faith". Parents do need to use this software, or some another way of monitoring. However it is impossible for the non-tech to prove this "spyware" is trustworthy itself, and its data collection will be a target for hackers. Also the brand name of "Teentor" may be seen as a problem for the Tor Project.

I did make a account on the site:

After receiving a mail I confirm it:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10366431/_GOTD/TeentorStarter20_20150818/Mail.png
I also did use the link for the software and installed it in WinXP.
I only did see a icon in the systemtray, with About, .. and Quit
In the mail was also a link to the Android-version.
I did visit the account and set some settings:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10366431/_GOTD/TeentorStarter20_20150818/InternetRegels.png
I also installed the software in Win8.1.
The only thing I saw was:

I did not see how to connect this Windows to the account I have made.
With Internet Explorer I could search for anything, sex, drugs and rock and roll.

After shutting down Win8.1 I read the mail in Win7.
The software was running and collecting data:

I opened the account and adjusted the age of the child:

A bit later I installed it on Win10 and used it for 2 users.
A rapport could be seen at the account; 2 examples:

Any software that can monitor your computer in the background is a dangerous proposition, therefore, uninstalled.
I can not control the background communication once this software is installed. I may be paranoid, but this kind of software always contain back door access to your computer. Use it on tour own risk.

Then don't install windows 10

@R.M, we are talking about application software not an operating system.
Win 10 can be disabled not to track you around, this one can not be.
Save | Cancel
@Nekk Last time I checked you can´t disable win 10 to "track you around" completely, some people are trying to develop apps to prevent this, but I don´t think it can be done without disabling critical functions. Like the developer says, some functions can be disabled in the gotd, but the function of the soft is to track around.

Does it need to be installed on both devices my phone & thiers or just child's phone

You need it only on your child's phone. You can access reports and settings using any browser, after logging in to your control panel.

Could not get it usable under Windows XP(SP3) - advertised as supported.
Installed but no shortcut icons seen, nothing in the start menu.
Traced exe's and ran all of them.
Saw an icon in the taskbar and all it offered was "STOP MONITORING".
No idea where it logs things, (not going to waste time searching i/o) no idea where the main UI is.
Even if it did work, hugely limited if it has to be device installed.
Parents requiring this software need the entire home LAN covered ie. done at router/DNS server level.
So far a damp squib.
Pity.
Maybe they can ensure it works (under XP...the last O/S for folk that use computers to get things DONE, vs treasure hunts/games) and re-launch?
Save | Cancel
Re-installing AND registering on their site gave a working environment.
All controls and reviews of data appears to be via their online interface which you have to register for and provide an email address. Again, huge limitation seems to be that the code must be installed on each device.
Save | Cancel
Leaves an icon on the taskbar which offers "STOP MONITORING".....ummmm...kind of self defeating ! Cannot see any place where this icon can be removed or hidden.
Concept of the program looks good but the implementation is not thought through.
Installed on 2 pc's. Used for some time yet zero data logged.
Needs a LOT of polish to become a professional product.(let alone work at all)

Should work fine on Windows XP SP3. However, please note that it's a 1-device license.

Personally I have no need for this type of software, so can't vote on it but I do think that it could be a good thing if parents have genuine concerns about what the kida are doing online as long as it is used to monitor and not spy on them. Parental discression advised.
Save | Cancel
I agree entirely. My situation is similar -I personally have no need for this- but the concept at least is sound, and it is good to see GAOTD offering something new and genuinely useful. Of course it is up to individual parent pairs to decide whether they want to implement this or other strategies to guide their children's use and proper benefit of all the positive things that the internet has to offer, and so I hope that others who may need this, test it and make a proper evaluation of whether it satisfactorily does what it says. I hope it does and that it is of great use to parents. The developer should be encouraged and given ideas as to how to improve this software, if need be.

I have to vote thumbs down on this and software like this. I taught my child responsibility and safe practices. There is no need to spy and invade his privacy. It should be a matter of trust and respect. Thank you for the offer but I will definitely pass.

If you do not see a personal need for the software, no need to vote thumbs up or down! There are many different types of software offered here, so there will be many not applicable. I suggest only vote if you have tried the software, and it is good or not so good.

In my opinion you only THINK (or hope) your kids a respectfull and responsible. Then you will feel shame. Kids can be under influence of others - less responsible. "Trust but check" can save your good name.

gpc111 you trust your kids and the way you raised him/her. Good for you and if your kid is raised well you do not need this software for you kid.
However... online predators get more sneaky anddevious any day, they can be "grooming" your kids while he/she is thinking to chat with a harmless other kid, talking about all kinds of (in his/her eyes) harmless stuff like where it goes to school, fitness and such. Your kid might not pick up on certain warning signs... you might. Trust your kids... great.. I am happy they have parents like you.... DO NOT TRUST THE INTERNET.... if your kids are below a certain age a monitor them for their OWN safety.... you don''t really need software like this but it can help you however... keep an eye on their online life..... it can save their real life :)

Harry, spot on. It's nature for kids to push the limits. NO MATTER how responsible and "trusting" they are, they will act on their own accord, not mom or dad's wishes. If anything, you are protecting your child from the nasty's that are out there. GPC111, you may trust your kid, but do you trust that person lurking around the corner? Has nothing to do with "spying" on your kids, it's no different then when your teaching them to drive. Do you look both ways for them or do you trust they will before pulling out onto the highway? Guess you have to ask yourself this. Even after teaching them gun safety, would you hand them a loaded gun and walk away? That's what your doing when you give them an internet connection. So do the responsible thing, and watch their backs.

I guess if we're going to turn this into a child safety blog we kind of should address these things even though they're off topic the software being what it is initiates a discussion of the matter I would assume. I'm kind of on both sides of this topic. 1) I talk to my kid straight about things and help her understand why we do things we do and why we don't do things we don't. Obviously as people have stated, you can't protect them from everything. The reality is a child predator is just that, a predator. They hunt our children down and the longer they do it and the more they do it, the better they become at it just as any hunter. As for the software, I think it could have a place if not misused but at the same time, if I expect my child to tell me the truth, then I'd think she deserves the same from me. If I were to use a software such as this I would disclose to her that the software is being used so that I can monitor what's going on and maybe keep her from falling into something that may be very dangerous. 2) I'm not computer savvy enough to distinguish the safety of software such as this. I mean there's already enough vulnerability in connecting to the web as it is. Opening another port or logging anything on any computer seems to me to be just another loophole to be exploited. Before using something like this I ask myself the simple cost vs benefit question. Currently the cost outweighs the benefit for me personally so I'll not give thumbs up or down and just remain neutral. It's very possible that everything may go down the tubes and I end up with a rebellious kid hell bent on self-destruction and if that's the case then I'll be very thankful for software designers who make programs that help me protect my child. I am curious though since the engineer is a part of this discussion, how can the consumer be assured that all i's were dotted and all t's were crossed? I mean we're all aware that our computers, servers, phones, and basically anything connected to the web are under daily assault by criminals in and out of the US. What safety measures have been implemented to make this program impervious to hackers if that concept is even feasible?
I see a lot on your website about when, where, why to use the software but didn't find an area scanning through it that addressed the safety of the parents in using this software. Our children's safety is paramount of course but if our own privacy is compromised then the "cost" is greatly increased. I hear people talk about the fact that they don't care about their phones being compromised or their computer being audited because they're not doing anything wrong but sadly I don't think they're seeing the big picture that every ounce of information given to someone who can misuse it is just another step closer to being a victim of their intent.

Seems that a lot of links on the Polish manufacturers (very clean) site does not work (al least not on my computer), seems they started not very long ago. I see some problems with this kind of software, this version and the confidence and security version contain a keylogger. Passwords could also be logged and stored; there could be security risks in that. By the way: see the somewhat dramatic screenshot.

What screenshot?

Various features of the software can be enabled or disabled according to your wishes. So, if you do not need a keylogger for your child's account, you can simply disable it.
