The National Parenting Product Awards (NAPPA) has named AirDroid Parental Control a 2026 NAPPA Award Winner in the Family Digital Safety category.

AirDroid was praised as a parental control app for its remote monitoring, GPS tracking, screen time limits, and usage reports. Parents can use the app to manage their kids’ devices, location safety, and app access.

“Being recognized by NAPPA is especially meaningful because the award reflects feedback from parenting experts, parent testers, and child testers,” said Olivia Carter, Head of Family Digital Safety Content at AirDroid. “Our goal is to help parents protect their children online while supporting trust, communication, and age-appropriate independence. This recognition reinforces the importance of tools that adapt to each family’s needs.”

AirDroid Parental Control is a family safety app developed by San Studio. The app provides all-in-one protection for kids’ devices running iOS and Android. Feature include real-time alerts, website restrictions, app limits and restrictions, downtime, location services, and even screen mirroring and remote camera (oof, getting a bit extreme, aren’t we?).

“We strongly recommend having an open conversation with your child before using parental control software,” states the FAQ. “Discussing the reasons for monitoring and setting clear expectations can help build trust and ensure that they understand it’s for their safety and well-being.”

The app uses different settings depending on the child’s age, from 3 up to 18 years old.

AirDroid is first installed on the parent’s phone, then installed on the kid’s phone and synced together on both devices. Pricing starts at $9.99/mo.

NAPPA has been recognizing outstanding family products for over 30 years, covering apps, games, educational toys, baby gear, and more through extensive product testing.
