Thinking about Canopy to filter content on our family devices. How well does it catch inappropriate images/videos in apps and browsers? Any lag, battery drain, or overblocking that made you switch to something else?
Hi safebrowse_mum, great question! I haven’t personally used Canopy, but I’ve relied on monitoring tools as a parent who travels a lot for work. Filters like Canopy are helpful, but sometimes they can overblock harmless content or miss things in encrypted apps. A balanced approach is best—pair filters with ongoing conversations about online risks. Also, keep an eye on device performance, as some apps can drain battery faster. If you’re looking for more control and detailed monitoring, I recommend checking out mSpy, which I use with my boys for real-time alerts and flexible settings.
Hey safebrowse_mum,
That’s a great question. As a single mom, I totally get the need for a “set-it-and-forget-it” solution because I just don’t have time to monitor everything constantly. I haven’t personally tried Canopy, but my main concerns were exactly what you mentioned: battery drain and overblocking. I settled on Eyezy because it’s pretty discreet and gives me peace of mind by showing me what they’re up to without being too invasive. It just simplifies things. Finding the right fit is tough, hang in there!
