Seven Reasons to get the ExperienceIQ® App

1. IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP WITH NEW TECH HABITS. Too often, technology gets in the way of a good night’s sleep. Kids who use a device of any kind at bedtime or in the middle of the night have less sleep and less good sleep—both quantity and quality are affected. Changing your habits can be difficult, but ExperienceIQ® is here to help. Use the “Set schedule” feature to determine when individual people and/or devices can or can’t be used. Each family member can have a different device bedtime if needed, and you can help your family instill better sleep habits by establishing “technology quiet” times in your home.

2. SCREEN TIME LIMITS ARE GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH. How much time children spend on screens may surprise you. ExperienceIQ® can help by monitoring screen time and which websites they are viewing. It can also set time limits for certain websites and establish per-device restrictions to limit the hours spent on screens.

3. REDUCE TECH STRESS. It may or may not surprise you that screen time and stress are related. Besides the common ways to reduce stress by exercising or meditating, ExperienceIQ® can help you establish digital limits to focus on what matters. Set a schedule so your phones don’t ping and buzz during family dinner. Keep your family mentally healthy by filtering types of content like violence or explicit material.

4. PROTECT YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. One of the benefits of working from home is that you’re closer to your family. But that can also be one of the drawbacks, especially when you’re competing for your Internet connection with your spouse’s Netflix show and your child’s game. ExperienceIQ® lets you set a priority list for the various Internet-connected devices in your home. That means you can ensure that your work devices get the best connection possible rather than leaving it up to chance.

5. KEEP INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT AT BAY. It’s surprisingly easy for children to stumble on inappropriate content even when they are not looking for it. Whether it’s a video that’s not meant for kids or an unexpected Internet search result, there are plenty of pitfalls that might have your child seeing words and images you don’t want them to see. With ExperienceIQ®, parents and guardians have multiple ways to keep their kids safe, such as setting content filtering and site restrictions for users or devices. You can restrict all mature content and even block individual sites.

6. FIND YOUR FOCUS ONLINE. There are ways to reduce distractions and be more productive online. ExperienceIQ® lets you use technology to minimize distractions by restricting Wi-Fi to specific devices so you aren’t glued to the screen. You can also set time limits for apps that steal your attention, which will help you set a schedule for the day.

7. ENFORCE YOUR HOUSE RULES WITH CONTENT CONTROLS. Parenting in an online world can feel overwhelming. With ExperienceIQ®, there are several ways to use technology to make parenting a little easier. You can limit your kids’ access to individual websites, set content filters, and set limits or block social media apps.
