Where are Parental Controls and Other Security Features

I just activated Armor started installing the apps on the many mobile devices.  I'd have to say the lack of controls and schedules is a huge drawback.  Also according to the NETGEAR/ARMOR landing page there should be a whole slew of features including parental controls through the armor app but I am barely seeing any features within the app.  Before a mod responds with a response saying use Disney circle please read your advertising at the below link:

I feel if we could use the Bitdefender total security app instead it would be the game changer we need.  The current apps available are just lacking in features and the product that's being advertised isn't being provided

    Hi,

    I am not sure where you see mismatch of advertized features on

    https://www.bitdefender.com/site/view/netgear.html and actual applications delivered. 

     

    https://www.bitdefender.com/site/view/netgear.html#tsmd_features is the full feature list and it matches what's being delivered. 


    Please help clarify.

      Nope clearly listed check again. The exact section you selected click mac, iOS or android and you will see parental controls in each section very clearly listed. I've attached screenshots for you as well.

        Got it!. We will get it corrected. Of course because NETGEAR already has solution for Parental control using Circle, that's the main reason we cannot have another solution conflict with what's working on router. Other than that, we are working on brining VPN soon to these applications within a month or two.
