New York Times And Other Mentions: MobSafety Ranger App in The News
26 Jan
Vancouver Sun:
Vancouver startup creates smartphone safety app that parents will love, kids not so much:
Warning: Kids, if your parents find RangeBrowser and put it on your smartphone, it could spell an end to those hours spent surfing or Facebooking friends when you’re supposed to be listening to your teachers in school or in bed and asleep. As for parents, you can thank Vancouver startup SocialScanner Technologies for giving you some control over just what your kids do on their smartphones when you’re not around to supervise. No matter how much you monitor your kids’ computer time, it’s a wasted effort if they have a smartphone that gives them the power of a computer without the hassle of mum or dad peering over their shoulder.

New York Times:
If you want to offer your child a filtered Web browsing option on Android, try Ranger Pro Safe Browser (free), at least until K9 introduces an Android version in the coming months. Ranger Pro wasn’t as nimble as K9, but an updated version released this week was good at screening pornographic Web sites, and the browsing experience was adequate.

Canadian app protects children from mobile porn
Vancouver start-up Social Scanner is doing their best to protect children from inappropriate content on mobile devices and today received an endorsement from the New York Times today for their Ranger Browser mobile app.
Ranger Browser is a fully customizable safe browser designed specially for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad as well as Android devices.
Mobile internet devices give our children unsupervised and unrestricted access to the intriguing world of the web. Unfortunately, the web has a dark side that makes our children vulnerable to inappropriate content, bullying and over-indulgence. Mobsafety provides mobile Internet users with an effective web filtering browser that replaces Safari, and allows parents to choose the content filtering that the parent deems appropriate for each child.
