Overall Rating: 2.7 / 5 (Average)

Boomerang is a very economical choice for parents who want to exercise some degree of monitoring of their children's phones. Its per-device/per-year pricing structure is straightforward. When used with its sister product, the Spin Safe Web Browser, it provides a basic level of monitoring and time-management functionality. It provides decent value for its price, although Boomerang lacks the full range of monitoring tools that are offered by its more expensive competitors.
