1. Create your Mobicip Account:
Create a Mobicip account on our website or through the Mobicip parent app available for iOS and Android mobile devices.
You can also invite another parent or admin to help monitor and manage your child’s devices.
Now it’s time to add your child. Enter your child’s name and birth date, then choose whether you’d like to Monitor and Manage or Monitor Only. You can always customize the filter settings, screentime limits, and other settings later from your parent app or the web dashboard.
Repeat the process for all your children.
Click 'Next' to complete the account set up. You’ll be taken to the Mobicip Highlights, where our mascot Eva will guide you through the menu and introduce the app’s key features.
2. Choose a Plan:
Click “Upgrade Now” from your Highlights and choose the plan that best fits your family’s needs. If you’d like advanced features such as app time limits or category limits - Social Media, Entertainment, and Games, or social media monitoring, we recommend the Premium Plan.
Next, enter your payment details to start your free trial. Don’t worry — your card will not be charged until the trial period ends. If Mobicip isn’t the right fit for your family, you can cancel anytime by contacting us at support@mobicip.com.
In the next step, you will have the option to refer Mobicip to your friends or family. As a token of our appreciation, you'll receive a $20 Amazon gift card for every successful referral, and your friend will get 10% off on their first year’s subscription.
