Even the best parental control software will fail.
Look - we get it. The internet is scary. Restrictions make us feel better. But, they don't solve the problem.
It’s not a question of “if” they’ll fail but “when”…
Parental cell phone controls have been around for what... a decade? If they actually solved the problem then why does it only take 18 minutes to find all of this...
Parental Control Bypassing
Blocked apps and screen time restrictions don’t work. Just a few searches, and your kid can learn how to hack them and still keep you in the dark!
Drug Content
Kids disguise these posts using special slang or emojis. Even the best parental control apps can’t keep up and won’t flag this content.
Predatory Conversations
Innocent conversations with strangers on social media could turn predatory. If your parental control software doesn’t catch the switch, you won’t know when strangers start sexualizing or manipulating your kid.
Bullying Comments or Messages
Only 10% of kids would tell their parents if they were cyberbullied. If these comments or messages slip past your parental monitoring app, chances are you’ll never hear about what happened!
Over Sexualization
Kids use the internet to learn about relationships and fitting in. If your cell phone parental controls don’t catch this content, you’ll have no idea who is using social media to tell your kid what is ‘normal’ when it comes to sex.
Self-Harm
Glorification
Many kids feel safe and comfortable expressing themselves online, especially about self-harm. When this disturbing content isn’t flagged by your parental control software, it can take over your kid’s feed without you knowing about it.

That’s why we created the Aqua One, the best smartphone for kids.
It was time to help parents ditch parental controls and discover unlimited smartphone monitoring.
Imagine monitoring everything your kid does online.
That’s what you get with the Aqua One smartphone. It’s a fully functional Android (so your kid actually wants it) with unlimited parental monitoring built right in. Yes, we really mean unlimited.
The Aqua One captures every action your kid takes on the phone and sends it seamlessly into your Parent Dashboard for 24/7 playback. Log on at anytime and watch exactly what your kid did on the phone!
The Aqua One smartphone allows you to monitor 13,000+ apps right from your Parent Dashboard.
Last time we checked, the “best” parental control softwares out there monitored about 30 apps. Why settle for that?
Don’t just take our word for it…
To be clear, this isn’t the thing for parents that have it all figured out. It’s for the parents who want to figure it out, day by day, together.
"As a Child and Family Therapist, I work with many families where issues with cell phones and social media create conflict between parents and their child or teen. Many parents resort to confiscating their kid's phone as a form of punishment. When you take away their phone, you remove their lifeline and this usually leads to anger and a breakdown in the parent-child relationship. The Aqua One phone uses a different approach. It works on establishing trust between kids and their parents by not having any parental controls in place. Instead, everything your kid texts, snaps, or watches can be viewed by you in real-time. It works on improving trust and the parent-child relationship instead of a more punitive approach that can backfire and do more harm than good."

"This device and parenting style/strategy is excellent for the new world of technology we live in. We have used Bark (but my son figured out a way around it), Wise Phone, and Apple Screen Time, and this is the happiest our teen has been because it does allow freedom for him but allows us to keep him safe. We are all happy with the arrangement."
15-year-old son
"Every time I pull out my phone I am reminded that I have parents who love me and are doing their very best to help me make good choices and stay safe; that is the best motivator for me!"

"I think Cyber Dive is making important strides when it comes to kids and cell phones. My son was at an interesting phase when it came time to give him his own phone. He’s too old for restrictions but we weren’t ready to give him a fully unrestricted iPhone yet so the Aqua One was the perfect in-between solution for us. He knows we can see everything on the phone but is learning such great responsibility and transparency from having the Aqua One that we don’t feel like we have to monitor him constantly. We did feel incredible relief at the insight the Parent Dashboard gave us when we first introduced him to the phone. Now that he’s handling it so well, we’re comfortable thinking about getting him an iPhone at some point. For right now, though, we’re very satisfied with how well the Aqua One fits our family’s needs!"
15-year-old son
"We’ll be a customer of Cyber Dive until my son ages out! We are so happy with the Aqua One. My son is a gifted kid and I wanted a phone that would support his unique intelligence without hindering him. However, I’m very aware of the dangers that are lurking for kids online, so I did a ton of research and considered many different options before landing on the Aqua One. I literally had a Gabb phone in my online cart and was about to check out when I changed my mind and switched to the Aqua One! It was the perfect decision for me and I haven’t regretted it for a moment. The phone helps us feel connected and I have peace of mind letting my son explore his interests and continue to build his brain."
9-year-old son
"We moved states recently, and our daughter needed a phone. For obvious reasons, we wanted to be able to contact her, but we also wanted her to fit in with the rest of her classmates who had smartphones. When we gave her the Aqua One, we let her know that we could see everything she’s doing on the phone, but it was hers to explore and enjoy. We’re so happy with how powerful a tool it’s been for our family. As we’ve navigated this move, the Mental Health Checks have allowed me to gain insight into my daughter’s thoughts and feelings throughout the whole process."
9-year-old daughter
"We gave the phone to my daughter. When we did, we let her know that we can see everything that she’s doing within our Parent Dashboard. I know that’s influenced her behavior online and she’s much more careful about what she does on the phone. Her school teaches social media preparation classes, so between those and the Aqua One, our daughter’s been careful and safe as she’s started using social media. We love the phone and how it’s helped us let our daughter explore the online world without leaving her vulnerable to the dangers out there. The unlimited, free replacements are also another favorite feature of ours!"
11-year-old daughter
"My wife and I are incredibly happy with the Aqua One! My daughter has had a phone before but we soon discovered that she was having issues with social media. My wife did a lot of research as we wrestled with what kind of phone to give her after that. My daughter is in that phase where she's almost an adult, and we wanted to give her something that was in-between a locked-down phone and an unrestricted iPhone. The Aqua One filled that need, and we were excited to try it out. When I gave the phone to her, I explained that it was hers to do as she pleased but that I have the ability to take a peek at her online activity whenever I want to. We have been so happy with our decision, and the phone is meeting the expectations we had for it!"
16-year-old daughter
"The Aqua One has worked wonders. Because of work, I spend a lot of time away from my daughter and the phone has helped me a lot as a parent. I still get to be involved in her online life, even when I'm away from her."
14-year-old daughter
"Aqua One acts as a comprehensive shield from so many online threats while also encouraging positive mental health. We first gave Aqua One to one of the survivors in our Human Trafficking Recovery Program, who was finally ready to get a job and smartphone, but still needed some safeguards due to the trafficker that was trying to reach her. Thanks to the dashboard, our program staff knows who is communicating with her online and her location while she is working, allowing her to successfully transition."

“Aqua One has taken the guesswork out of parenting a teen with a smartphone. It allows my son to have freedom on his phone while I have peace of mind. I am able to see everything he does, what he’s listening to, who he’s talking to and what messages are being exchanged. It’s taken the tension of phone monitoring out of our relationship without giving up freedom or monitoring.”
