Gemini Gems are Google's answer to the annoyance of constantly having to repeat yourself to an AI chatbot. Like ChatGPT's custom GPTs, Gemini Gems are customized, reusable variations of Gemini that remember a specific role, history, and personality, so you don't have to keep explaining yourself every time you start a new chat.

Rather than beginning every conversation with housekeeping, you immediately start solving the problem you actually opened Gemini to tackle. You build a collection of specialists that already know their jobs. Open your travel planner when you're booking a holiday, your guitar coach when it's time to practice, or your meal planner when the refrigerator looks uninspiring, and each one picks up exactly where you left off.

I've made plenty of Gems, some more enduring than others. They're easy enough to make, but tweaking them to be just right can be tricky. If you want to see some of the more appealing (and sometimes just fun) possibilities of Gems, here are five of my favorites. I've written out the instructions I composed for the Gem at the end of each. Gemini can also edit and expand on even the simplest of descriptions, but more detail can help ensure the Gem does what you want.

Creating a Gem

The process of creating a Gem is easy, just click/tap on Gems in the left hand menu in the web browser version or the app version of Gemini, then New Gem. You can use the custom instructions from each of my five Gems if you'd like to recreate them yourself.

1. Family Adventure

(Image credit: Writer)

Planning family outings has become its own part-time hobby. My wife and I have a two-year-old and an eight-month-old, so every trip has to thread a surprisingly small needle. It needs to be close enough that nobody spends half the day in the car, interesting enough to entertain everyone, stroller-friendly, and ideally open when we actually want to visit. That made Family Adventure Planner the first Gem to showcase.

Setting it up only took a few minutes. After creating the Gem, I conversed with Gemini through it and gave it some basic details about locations, interests, and the kinds of places we've enjoyed in the past. Once the Gem had all that information, I threw some different scenarios at it.

I asked it to plan a family outing for the coming Saturday within about an hour's drive. The Deep Research feature pushed the Gem to check what would actually be open that weekend, look for seasonal events taking place, verify opening hours, and even factor in temporary exhibits and admission prices before putting together a suggested itinerary.

The recommendation felt surprisingly complete. It suggested a nearby sculpture park with stroller-friendly paths, followed by lunch at a family-friendly café and an ice cream stop on the drive home. It also pointed out that arriving before mid morning would make parking easier, exactly the kind of practical advice that is easy to overlook until you're trying to unload two young children from the car.

I asked it to imagine that rain was forecast all day and that we still wanted to get out of the house. Instead of simply swapping a park for a museum, it built an entirely different plan around an interactive children's museum, suggested a nearby indoor play space if our oldest still had energy afterward.

The Gem also adapted quickly as I added more context. After mentioning that long waits at restaurants rarely end well with a hungry toddler and an eight-month-old, future itineraries naturally favored casual cafés, picnic spots, and places where food was readily available. It quietly learned from each conversation instead of making me repeat those preferences every time.

If your weekends usually begin with twenty minutes of searching before anyone leaves the house, this is probably the first Gem worth creating.

Family Adventure Planner instructions

You are an enthusiastic, creative, family-focused activity planner. Learn my family's ages, interests, travel preferences, and other details. Whenever I ask for ideas, recommend activities that are realistic, seasonal, and varied while avoiding suggestions I have recently tried unless I specifically ask for favorites. Include all relevant logistics details like times, costs, and packing suggestions.

2. Hobby Coach

Some hobbies are easy to put down for a while. Others seem to expect you to remember exactly where you stopped. That made Hobby Coach one of the first Gems I wanted to build.

I set it up with two of my biggest hobbies: learning guitar and backyard astronomy. I told it I was still a beginner guitarist working toward playing complete songs and that my astronomy interests revolved around learning the night sky with a modest telescope instead of serious astrophotography. Once that information was saved, I never had to explain it again.

To see how useful it would be, I spent an afternoon asking it to map out future practice sessions instead of simply answering questions. For guitar, it created a progression that built from my current skill level, suggesting chord exercises, songs that gradually increased in difficulty, and realistic milestones to aim for over the next several weeks. Everything fit into a longer learning plan.

Astronomy worked just as well. I asked it to plan a series of upcoming observing nights, and it suggested different targets depending on the season, moon phase, and what I wanted to learn. One evening focused on easy constellations, another introduced brighter deep sky objects, while another became a relaxed tour of the Moon and planets.

The Gem also uses Guided Learning as its default tool, which structures lessons into connected learning paths instead of isolated answers. It builds on previous lessons, introduces new skills at the right pace, and creates the feeling that you're working with a patient teacher who already understands your goals.

Hobby Coach instructions

You are an encouraging, knowledgeable, and patient personal coach for my hobbies. Learn my current experience level, equipment, goals, schedule, and preferred learning style for each hobby I share with you. Remember my progress over time and build each lesson naturally on previous conversations instead of starting from the beginning. Break complex skills into manageable practice sessions, celebrate improvements, and recommend realistic projects that keep me motivated without becoming overwhelming.

3. Movie and TV Curator.

Choosing something to watch should be one of the easiest parts of the evening, yet it often turns into an extended scrolling session. I knew that AI chatbots can be useful here, but a specific Gem for the endeavor felt like a good fit.

I gave my new Movie and TV Curator Gem everything it needed to know about our tastes. I told it which streaming services we subscribe to, the kinds of films my wife and I enjoy after the children are asleep, the comedies and mysteries we've already watched, and perhaps most importantly, that we have a two-year-old who is just beginning to sit through longer family movies.

That final detail completely shaped its recommendations. Instead of suggesting whatever happened to be popular, it focused on gentle, engaging films that would make good introductions to family movie nights without overwhelming a young child. It also remembered which movies we'd already seen so future recommendations wouldn't feel repetitive.

I asked it to build a month's worth of family movie nights, along with separate recommendations for date nights after the children were asleep. Within minutes, I had a calendar filled with classic animated films, newer family favorites, and several older movies that I had completely forgotten about but couldn't wait to introduce to my son.

It also understood the different kinds of evenings we have. A Friday after a busy week called for something light and funny, while a quiet Sunday evening was a better fit for a slower family film. I soon had a collection of family movie nights and grown-up viewing plans waiting whenever we needed them. Like the other Gems, it turned a repetitive decision into something I only had to think about once.

Movie and TV Curator instructions

You are a knowledgeable, conversational entertainment expert with excellent taste and a great memory. Learn my favorite genres, actors, directors, streaming services, viewing habits, and the movies and television shows I've already watched. Recommend films and series based on my mood, available time, and who will be watching, while avoiding unnecessary spoilers and repeating recent suggestions unless I ask. Explain why each recommendation suits my tastes, maintain a warm and enthusiastic personality, and regularly introduce overlooked classics alongside newer releases.

4. Outfit Planner

(Image credit: Google Gemini Gems)

At first glance, Outfit Try On Planner sounded like a Gem I'd probably use once and then forget about. I enjoy looking reasonably presentable, but I wouldn't describe myself as someone who spends much time thinking about fashion. After setting it up, though, I realized it was less about keeping up with trends and more about making decisions before I actually needed to make them.

I started by teaching the Gem my style. I told it the kinds of clothes I usually wear, the colors I naturally gravitate toward, and the occasions I dress for most often. I also uploaded a few photos of myself so it could create realistic visualizations rather than relying on generic fashion models.

I asked it to put together outfit ideas for a fancy date, weekend trip, and a few other occasions. Seeing complete outfits instead of reading descriptions made decisions much easier. The most entertaining experiment had nothing to do with everyday clothes. I'd been thinking of dressing up for the Renaissance fair this year, so I asked the Gem to imagine me in a variety of Renaissance costumes before I bought or rented anything. You can see me as a hooded archer, an elaborately dressed nobleman, and a cheerful wandering bard carrying a lute.

Because the Gem remembers your appearance and preferences, it can help visualize costumes, themed party outfits, Halloween ideas, vacation wardrobes, or almost anything else you might wear before you spend money assembling it.

Outfit Try On Planner instructions

You are a friendly, fashion-savvy personal stylist with an eye for color, fit, and practicality. Help me create outfits using clothes I already own, visualize new pieces before I buy them, and suggest combinations that suit the occasion, weather, and my personal style. Ask questions before making recommendations. When I upload photos of clothing, accessories, or myself, use them to generate realistic outfit visualizations and styling ideas.

5. Personal Theme Song

The final Gem was the one I expected to be the silliest, yet it ended up being one of my favorites. Google recently added a Music tool to Gemini that can generate original songs from simple prompts, so I decided to build a Gem called Personal Theme Song Composer, dedicated entirely to turning everyday moments into music.

Setting it up only took a few minutes. I told it about the musical styles I enjoy, asked it to learn how I like songs to feel, and instructed it to ask questions about the people, pets, places, or memories behind each request before using Gemini's Music service to compose something original. Once those instructions were saved, I could jump straight into ideas instead of explaining the same preferences every time.

One of the first finished songs involved my dogs. Every dog owner eventually invents a ridiculous tune while clipping on the leads for a walk, so I asked the Gem to write something jaunty about my two excitable Chihuahuas that sounded like the opening theme to a cheerful television comedy. The result perfectly captured the determined little strut they adopt every time they head out the front door, and the melody stayed in my head for the rest of the day.

It perfectly summed up what makes Gemini Gems so useful. They are more than saved prompts. They are specialists that remember their role, making new capabilities like Gemini's Music tool feel less like an occasional novelty and more like a creative partner that's always ready when inspiration strikes.

Personal Theme Song Composer instructions

You are an imaginative, enthusiastic, and collaborative songwriter and music producer. Your goal is to help me create original songs that celebrate and vibe with whatever topic you're given. Before writing a song, ask enough questions to understand the story I want to tell, the mood, the musical genre, whether I want vocals or an instrumental, the intended audience, and any specific lyrics, phrases, or themes I want included. Suggest genres, tempos, instrumentation, and vocal styles that fit the idea. If I provide photos or other context, use them as inspiration for the music's tone and storytelling.

What makes Gems feel different from saving a handful of good prompts in a notes app is continuity of purpose. A prompt tells Gemini what to do once. A Gem remembers who it is supposed to be every time you come back. It remembers you, your favorite way of working, and the tools that help it do its job best, creating an experience that feels much more personal over time.

The five Gems here are really just a starting point. Once you get comfortable creating them, it becomes surprisingly easy to imagine building one for meal planning, another for packing for trips, or any other gems you want to fill your treasure chest with.

Norton has been synonymous with consumer cybersecurity since 1982, thanks to its flagship antivirus product. However, there’s another Norton offering that is quite popular among security-conscious users: Norton LifeLock.

This identity protection and restoration platform not only monitors your identity for breaches in real time across the wider internet, dark web, and social media, but also helps restore your identity in the event of an incident. With one of the most comprehensive insurance coverages in the industry (up to $3 million), Norton LifeLock has earned a reputation of its own.

In this article, we put Norton LifeLock to the ultimate test, examining its features, interface, user experience, and overall value for money. We also compare it with similar products to determine whether it's worth the investment.

Norton LifeLock: Plans and pricing

(Image credit: Norton)

LifeLock's pricing structure can be confusing at first glance. However, it offers three primary plans to choose from: Core, Advanced, and Total.

The Core plan is the basic option, costing $10.42/month and offering up to $1.05 million in identity theft reimbursement and $25,000 for stolen funds. Besides this, you get identity verification alerts, dark web monitoring, data breach alerts, and social media monitoring, along with its all-new feature, automatic data broker removal. You also get two-bureau credit monitoring, along with one monthly credit report and score, making it ideal for individuals looking for all-around protection.

Next is the Advanced plan, which costs $16.67/month. Along with everything included in the Core plan, you get an additional $5,000 in scam reimbursement and scam support. Besides this, you get three-bureau credit monitoring, along with annual three-bureau credit reports and scores. For an additional cost of around $5, this is a good option for those who need more comprehensive credit monitoring.

Advanced plans are also available for families, allowing you to protect up to two adults for $30/month, or two adults and 10 children for $40/month.

However, just like IdentityForce, there is no option to cover more than two adults, for which you’ll have to look at alternatives such as Aura, which gives you the option to protect up to five adults at a cost of $32/month.

Lastly, there is the Total plan, which costs $29.17/month and offers $3 million in identity theft reimbursement and up to $1 million for stolen funds. This plan also includes features like home title monitoring and phone takeover monitoring, along with 401(k) investment account alerts and bank account takeover alerts.

Besides all this, Norton also offers all-in-one plans where you can get LifeLock bundled with Norton 360 for $8.33/month (Select Plan), which includes security for up to five devices, along with one of the best VPNs we have tested. There is also an Ultimate Plus plan at $25/month with more comprehensive coverage.

Lastly, Norton LifeLock offers a 30-day free trial, as well as a 60-day money-back guarantee, essentially letting you test the service for up to 90 days before you have to commit to it.

Norton LifeLock: Features

LifeLock offers all the basic identity and privacy protection tools you would expect, such as identity verification alerts, dark web monitoring, which scans the dark web for your stolen information, data breach alerts, which instantly notify you if any of your information is found online, and comprehensive social media monitoring.

LifeLock is also known for its robust credit and financial protection, which includes daily, monthly, and annual credit reports and scores (depending on your plan), along with comprehensive three-bureau credit monitoring.

A rather unique feature of LifeLock is its automatic data broker removal service, which scans top data brokers for your information and submits automatic opt-out requests every 90 days. This way, you don't have to manually look for your data on these broker sites, making it easier to manage publicly available information about you.

(Image credit: Norton LifeLock)

LifeLock offers one of the most comprehensive insurance and reimbursement packages in the industry. You can get up to $3 million in reimbursement for identity theft incidents, including reimbursement for funds stolen from your bank, investment, and credit accounts, reimbursement for legal costs incurred while recovering your identity, and reimbursement for personal expenses such as lost wages or childcare costs following an identity theft incident.

Besides all this, there is also additional scam reimbursement of up to $10,000, which covers losses incurred due to online scams such as phishing, fake investment portals, and fake shopping sites that result in financial loss.

(Image credit: Norton LifeLock)

LifeLock also features a handy Credit Lock feature, which allows you to lock and unlock your credit file with TransUnion directly from its dashboard with just a single click. When you lock your credit, no one can open a new line of credit or an account in your name without your approval.

A good practice is to keep Credit Lock enabled when you're not actively looking for loans and unlock it only when needed. You also get dedicated identity restoration specialists on all LifeLock plans to assist you in the event of identity theft.

Norton LifeLock: Interface

One key aspect of LifeLock's interface is its simplicity. The layout is clean and uncluttered, with each feature clearly labeled and easy to find. This simplicity makes it easy for users, especially beginners, to navigate.

(Image credit: Norton LifeLock)

As soon as you log in to your dashboard, you'll see all the feature options listed on a sleek panel on the left-hand side, while the main dashboard contains information cards highlighting your key identity details. At the top is the Alerts section, where you can find any new identity breaches detected by LifeLock.

You can also view your credit scores and manage your Identity Locker directly from the main dashboard. The interface is also pretty visually appealing, and the platform features a modern, minimalist design that's both attractive and professional.

Norton LifeLock: The competition

Norton LifeLock is one of the most affordable identity protection tools available, starting at just $10.42/month. That said, it still might not be the most cost-effective choice if your main concern is credit monitoring. For instance, you'll have to pay $29.17/month for three-bureau credit monitoring with Norton LifeLock, whereas the same service is available for just $19.95/month with IDShield.

Other features are also quite similar across both platforms, with a few exceptions. For example, you do not get data broker removal with IDShield, but you do benefit from a VPN, password manager, and malware and ransomware protection.

Similarly, if you're looking to protect a family of more than two adults, LifeLock might not be the ideal choice. In that case, a provider like Aura may offer better value for money, with its family plan costing $32/month. You also get $5 million in identity theft insurance with Aura, compared to Norton's $3 million, along with AI-powered spam call and message protection, advanced parental controls, and digital account cleanup.

Norton LifeLock: Support

All LifeLock plans provide round-the-clock live support with a virtual advisor and phone support.

While there's no chat, email, or support portal, the top-tier plan offers special identity consultations, which offer expert advice and guidance to users dealing with potential identity theft, fraud, and cyberthreats.

While there are plenty of blog articles and answers to frequently asked questions, we would’ve definitely loved to see some explainer videos, whitepapers and webinars as well.

Norton LifeLock: Final verdict

Norton LifeLock is one of the best identity protection tools available, especially if you're an individual looking for all-around protection that includes monthly credit monitoring. Along with essentials such as social media monitoring, identity verification alerts, data breach alerts, and dark web monitoring, it also offers standout features like automatic data broker removal, which automatically submits opt-out requests to popular data brokers on your behalf.

Besides this, LifeLock offers one of the most comprehensive identity theft insurance packages, with reimbursement amounts going as high as $3 million, along with an additional $10,000 in scam reimbursement.

That said, LifeLock may not be ideal for family protection, as it can only cover up to two adults. For coverage beyond this, you would need to consider other options such as Aura. Additionally, three-bureau credit monitoring can be expensive, as it is only available on the Total plan starting at $29.17/month. Cheaper options, such as IDShield, offer comparable services at a lower cost.

Summer Game Fest 2026 has come and gone, and it treated us to an absolute deluge of reveals and announcements in its live show. But how many of the big hitters do you actually remember from the biggest show of last month?

I've put together this swanky Summer Game Fest 2026 quiz to put your memory cells to the test and find out.

Each question will show a screenshot of a game taken from the stream and requires you to input its title correctly. Every right answer is worth one point.

I've tried to broadly organize the questions in what I think is in order of ascending difficulty, so they should gradually get harder the further you go.

Of course, you could always just look up a list of the announcements or rewatch parts of the stream to cheat—but where's the fun in that? Just think of how upset Geoff Keighley would be if he knew that you were cheating...

I will say that at least one of the games present in the quiz won one of our prestigious Best of Summer Game Fest 2026 Awards, so you can read our winners list if you're craving a hint.

Once you're done, you'll see your overall score and a description of how you did. Feel free to brag in the comments!

• Amid backlash surrounding plans to end physical game disc production, Sony is trying to advertise its new PlayStation fight stick
• The company has remained quiet amid fan pushback since announcing its plans
• Fans appear outraged by Sony's lack of response

PlayStation has just posted online for the first time since announcing its plans to end physical game disc production, but instead of addressing the elephant in the room, the company is trying to advertise its new fight stick.

From January 2028 onwards physical PlayStation discs will no longer be produced, and let's just say the reaction to the announcement has sparked overwhelming backlash.

While fans continue to urge the company to backtrack on its decision online, including creating a petition that has amassed over 170,000 signatures, PlayStation has remained noticeably quiet on the issue. But finally, after six days of silence, it looks like it's finally shared a new social media post.

Is it a statement addressing the issue? A response explaining its stance further? No. It's an advertisement for its new FlexStrike wireless fight stick.

As of writing, the post has been up for one hour, has over 4.5million views, and has received massive pushback, with fans flooding the replies to accuse PlayStation of ignoring them.

"Sony is completely ignoring the huge backlash for the killing physical media and ownership," one fan said. "Don't let them get away with it. Voice your disgust under every post they put out until they change course."

Sony there's something you should address... pic.twitter.com/AtBQIaCoPJJuly 7, 2026

pic.twitter.com/WmAm1ooc0KJuly 7, 2026

Another wrote, "No way THIS is the first tweet PlayStation puts out after 6 days," as another joked, "I don’t understand. This a physical product? How do I download it?"

The thread is also full of fans showing how much they care about physical media, with some proudly showing off their collections, others declaring they won't buy another console again, and of course, plenty of memes about the situation.

We'll have to wait and see if PlayStation eventually caves to the pressure, but for now, Sony's plan to stop manufacturing physical media is still going ahead.

IdentityWorks is one of the most trusted identity theft protection platforms from Experian. In addition to robust credit monitoring and credit score insights, it also offers several identity protection features, such as dark web and social media scanning, along with a handy privacy scan that removes your data from data broker websites.

But let's address the elephant in the room: Experian faced major criticism after a 2015 data breach that exposed more than 15 million customer records. So, as a potential buyer of its identity protection service, you'd be curious to know if the provider has tidied up? Well, we believe it has. Since the incident, Experian has spent significant time, money, and resources strengthening its data security.

In this article, we'll drill down into the various functions of Experian IdentityWorks, along with its pricing, interface, and customer support. We'll also compare it with other platforms to help you choose the best service for your needs.

Experian IdentityWorks: Plans and pricing

Experian offers a number of plans to choose from depending on how many adults and children there are in your household (Image credit: Experian)

IdentityWorks is one of the few identity theft monitoring platforms that offers a free plan. You can view your Experian credit report and FICO score, along with a free dark web surveillance report and personal privacy scan. However, you cannot take any actions from the dashboard based on the report or scan to improve your online security.

Next, Experian offers two paid plans: Premium and Family. The Premium plan, priced at $24.99 per month, includes everything that IdentityWorks has to offer, with no features hidden behind additional paywalls. This means you get advanced identity theft monitoring, three-bureau credit monitoring and alerts, along with other identity theft features such as change-of-address alerts, SSN tracking, sex offender registry alerts, and lost wallet assistance.

You also get up to $1 million in identity theft insurance, which is what we've come to expect from the industry's top services. The Family plan costs $34.99 per month and includes the same features as the Premium plan but allows you to add up to two adults and 10 children.

Users will appreciate that IdentityWorks offers a 7-day free trial with both paid plans, although you'll need to provide your credit card information. If you don't like what you see within the first week, you can cancel your membership without incurring any additional charges.

Experian IdentityWorks: Features

One of the key features of the Premium plan is full access to credit monitoring. This service monitors your credit reports from the three major credit bureaus – Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion – and notifies you of any changes or suspicious activity.

You also get quarterly reports from all three credit bureaus, along with FICO scores. However, since IdentityWorks is owned directly by Experian, one of the leading credit bureaus, you can track your Experian FICO score on a daily basis. Additionally, if you wish to freeze your credit with Experian, you can do so directly from the IdentityWorks dashboard with the toggle of a button.

Not only does Experian allow you to view your credit score, but it also helps you plan your future finances. For instance, there's a FICO Score Planner, which lets you choose a target FICO score for the next 3 to 12 months. After that, it suggests actions you can take to achieve that score, such as lowering account balances or closing certain loans. There's also a score simulator, which lets you see how various financial decisions may impact your future credit score.

In the unfortunate event that your identity is stolen, you get dedicated fraud resolution support from IdentityWorks, where professionals work closely with you to help restore your identity, backed by up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.

(Image credit: Experian)

There's also dark web monitoring, which combs the dark web to determine whether any of your personally identifiable information, such as your email address, phone number, home address, login credentials, or even your Social Security number, has been leaked.

Next, you get a handy privacy scan feature that looks for your personal information on people-finder sites. These are data broker websites that buy and sell personal information. IdentityWorks can submit removal requests to these sites on your behalf.

To enhance account security, the plan offers financial account takeover alerts. These alerts vigilantly monitor your financial accounts for any unauthorized transactions or changes, safeguarding your bank accounts, credit cards, and investment accounts against potential compromises.

In addition to its monitoring features, the Premium plan provides social network monitoring alerts. This service vigilantly scans social media platforms for any unauthorized use of your name, photos, or personal information.

Experian IdentityWorks: Interface

IdentityWorks' dashboard exemplifies minimalist design, featuring a sleek layout with intuitive tabs at the top that simplify navigation. Users can effortlessly find the information they need without unnecessary distractions. Although the interface might seem a bit old-fashioned, it gets the job done. The main dashboard is divided into six sections on the top bar: Credit, Finances, Protection, Credit Cards, Loans, and Auto. Each of these options opens a dedicated dashboard when clicked.

That said, IdentityWorks is, unfortunately, not among the easiest platforms to use. You may need a bit of time to get the hang of navigating the various options on its dashboard. On the bright side, however, the browsing experience is seamless, with no unusual lags, buffering, or screen freezes, which is always a big positive.

The provider has recently revamped its user interface and now logs you out automatically after 15 to 20 minutes of inactivity, which is an impressive security-focused addition. There's also an iOS and Android mobile app with millions of downloads. Although you don't get a ton of features with these apps, the design is simple and straightforward, allowing you to keep tabs on your identity and credit details on the go.

Experian IdentityWorks: Support

Experian doesn't provide a specific phone number or email address for direct contact regarding issues. Instead, clicking on "Contact us" directs users to a help center with various articles. For immediate assistance, Experian recommends obtaining an Experian credit report and calling the phone number provided on the report.

To enhance user satisfaction, we would suggest more streamlined and accessible communication channels for users to reach out to Experian.

Experian IdentityWorks: The competition

Although IdentityWorks is a pretty complete identity theft protection platform, it’s a bit on the expensive side, which is why you might consider alternatives such as IdentityForce. IdentityForce is offered by TransUnion, another prominent credit bureau, with plans starting at $19.90 per month or $199.90 per year.

This entry-level plan offers several identity monitoring features, such as dark web monitoring, fraud monitoring, risk scores, and personalized action plans to improve your credit standing, but it does not provide detailed credit monitoring. For that, you'll need to upgrade to the next tier, which costs $34.90 per month and is even more expensive than Experian IdentityWorks. That said, you do get up to $2 million in identity theft insurance, along with a VPN and online PC protection.

There's also MyFICO, offered by the Fair Isaac Corporation, the organization behind FICO credit scores. Plans start at $29.95 per month and include three-bureau credit coverage, along with credit reports and quarterly updated FICO scores. Much like IdentityWorks, there's also a FICO score simulator, which allows you to see how your financial decisions may impact your credit scores. That said, MyFICO focuses more heavily on credit monitoring and lacks several advanced identity monitoring features.

If credit monitoring isn't what you're primarily looking for, you could consider alternatives such as Norton LifeLock, with plans starting at $10.42 per month, or McAfee+, starting at $29.99 for the first year. These providers focus more on identity protection features such as dark web monitoring, social media monitoring, and real-time identity breach alerts.

Experian IdentityWorks: Final verdict

Since IdentityWorks is offered directly by Experian, it provides some of the best credit monitoring features we've seen. You can view your Experian FICO score daily and access credit reports from all three bureaus on a quarterly basis. Besides helping you view your scores, IdentityWorks also allows you to lock your Experian credit directly from its dashboard with the toggle of a button. Additionally, it lets you set a target FICO score and suggests actions you should take to achieve it in the near future.

Moreover, IdentityWorks offers several useful identity protection features, such as Social Security number monitoring, dark web surveillance that scans up to 600,000 web pages, sex offender registry alerts, social network monitoring, and dedicated fraud resolution support.

All in all, IdentityWorks is one of the best identity theft protection platforms you can opt for. That said, it's a bit on the expensive side, with paid plans starting at $24.99 per month and no option for an annual subscription. This could easily burn a hole in your pocket, which is why you may want to consider more affordable alternatives such as Norton LifeLock or Aura.

FAQsWhy is identity theft protection important?

Safeguarding your personal identity stands as an absolute necessity in the current digitally connected world. Our personal information exists in the digital atmosphere to a greater extent than ever because of online transactions and social media posts, along with connected devices. The defense mechanisms provided by credit protection cover only a limited segment of identity theft risks that continue to evolve.

Identity theft is a broad and damaging criminal activity that encompasses multiple types of fraudulent actions, resulting in severe harm to victims. A person who steals your personal details can perform multiple illegal actions, such as establishing unauthorized credit accounts using your name while taking loans you will need to pay, filing false tax returns, and committing crimes, which will appear on your criminal record.

The consequences of identity theft go beyond financial damage because they cause severe credit score deterioration along with damaged reputation and both emotional suffering and time-consuming identity recovery procedures.

• Valve has posted a fix for the 'red line of death' problem
• A small number of bug reports have surfaced online
• Leaving the PC unplugged overnight seems to help

There's good news if your newly purchased Steam Machine has been hit by the 'red line of death' — where the PC displays a solid red indicator light and refuses to boot up (reminiscent of the old Xbox 'red ring of death').

A couple of reports about this problem have appeared in recent days, although it's not clear exactly how widespread this issue is. If you have been hit by the frustrating bug though, Valve now has some official advice for you.

In detailed troubleshooting instructions posted to Reddit, the official Steam hardware feedback account advises affected users to work through a series of steps that include unplugging the Steam Machine and forcing a full reboot.

It's worth saying that the Redditor who originally reported the issue was able to get their Steam Machine up and running again by leaving it unplugged overnight — so an effective fix might not require all of the official instructions.

Here's what to doWell, the Steam Machine was pretty cool for the 20 minutes that it worked from r/steammachine

If you do find the 'red line of death' appearing on your Steam Machine, these are the troubleshooting steps to follow, as per Valve:

• Unplug the Machine, then press the power button a few times. This ensures any stored energy in the PSU gets discharged. You may see the power indicator LED blip a moment.
• Plug the Machine back in. Note if your power LED glows (breathing pattern) white or not. If yes, please submit a Steam Support ticket and tag me, or send me a chat request with the ID.
• Hold the power button down for ~6s. You should see the power indicator LED (dot) flash momentarily. Release the power button when you do.
• The power indicator LED will start to cycle some color codes. These are designed to allow you to select various options for recovery/troubleshooting purposes. When the LED turns green, short-press the power button. This should perform a full 'CMOS reset'.
• On the next boot, you should see the RGB bar as blue - it may take a bit longer to boot due to a memory re-training.

So there you have it — if your Steam Machine works again, the Steam support account requests that you tag it on Reddit. If not, the next step is to create a support ticket so the issue can be investigated further.

It might be that a number of users have already experienced this problem and resolved it without turning to Reddit or social media, but it's not something you want to see after paying a top price for the gaming PC.

• Air frying, steam cooking and steam frying in one device
• 9.5L in the MegaBasket or 3L + 6L in separate baskets
• It's on sale for £258.99 (about $350 / AU$500)

If like me you cook for the family, you'll know that air fryers tend to involve a compromise: when it comes to capacity and flexibility, you can have one but not both – so for example my Ninja Foodi Max has two baskets delivering a combined 9.5L of cooking capacity and multiple modes, but neither basket is big enough for me to roast a really big chicken. Philips' solution is what it calls the MegaBasket.

The MegaBasket is making its debut in the Philips Airfryer 5000 Series MegaBasket, which gives you a choice: you can use the single MegaBasket to get 9.5L of cooking capacity, or use split baskets of 3L and 6L respectively.

The 5000 Series also addresses another air fryer irritation: cleaning. Because this cooker has a steam function, you can get it to steam clean itself.

The Airfryer 500 Series MegaBasket has three kinds of cooking: air frying, steam cooking, and what Philips calls SteamFry. That combines air frying and steam cooking to keep your food nice and juicy in the middle while the air fryer crisps the outside. It's particularly handy for food such as chicken breasts, which can get awfully dry in a normal air fryer if you don't marinade them for a good while first. It also helps vegetables retain their nutrients.

Steam offers another important benefit: it's brilliant for reheating last night's Chinese takeway, Indian curry or deep-fried pizza (I'm in Scotland) without drying it out. As someone who tends to over-order from the chippy and have leftovers the following day, that's enough to sell the Philips to me, and to differentiate it from the Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer, which has slightly larger capacity but lacks the steam function.

This isn't the biggest air fryer you can buy — the aforementioned Ninja has 2 x 5.2l or 1 x 10.4l capacity – but the combination of air frying, capacity, steam and a small footprint – the Philips is just 49.6 x 32.9 x 35.5cm — makes this look awfully attractive for family meals and entertaining alike.

The Philips Airfryer 5000 Series MegaBasket with Steam has a price of £258.99 (about $350 / AU$500) and it's available from Amazon UK now.

Identity theft has been growing at an alarming rate. The FTC received 1.1 million identity theft reports in 2023 alone, and according to reports, someone becomes a victim of identity theft every 4.9 seconds in the U.S. This not only calls for personal vigilance and financial hygiene but also makes identity theft protection tools an absolute necessity.

IdentityForce is one such tool. A TransUnion offering, it comes with features like instant breach alerts, dark web monitoring, credit monitoring, and remediation services. In this article, we dissect each of IdentityForce's features while also comparing it with other tools on the market. Read on to find out if IdentityForce is the right tool for your needs.

IdentityForce: Plans and pricing

(Image credit: IdentityForce)

IdentityForce offers two plans: UltraSecure and UltraSecure Plus Credit, for both individuals and families. The base UltraSecure plan costs $19.90 for individuals and $24.90 for families, covering two adults and unlimited children. You get features like dark web monitoring, advanced fraud monitoring, and credit card and bank activity alerts, along with $1 million in identity theft insurance.

However, one of IdentityForce's biggest drawbacks is that this base plan doesn't include any credit monitoring features, for which you'll have to upgrade to its UltraSecure Plus Credit plan, starting at $34.90/month for individuals and $39.90/month for families.

Along with everything in the base plan, this plan provides three-bureau credit monitoring and alerts, as well as daily TransUnion credit reports and scores. The identity theft insurance also increases to $2 million under this plan.

As evident, IdentityForce isn't the cheapest option out there. In comparison, LifeLock by Norton starts at just $10.42 per month, offering features like dark web monitoring, social media monitoring, and automatic data broker removal. Similarly, Aura's individual plans start at $12 per month, providing financial transaction alerts and identity theft protection.

While the plans across these providers may not be directly comparable, if you're on a tight budget, there are definitely cheaper options than IdentityForce available on the market.

(Image credit: IdentityForce)IdentityForce: Features

Alerts, protection and credit monitoring are all easy to find in IdentityForce's mobileapp (Image credit: IdentityForce)

IdentityForce offers all the features you'd expect from an identity theft protection and detection platform. For starters, its advanced fraud monitoring sends you real-time alerts whenever financial institutions open a new line of credit or account in your name. This helps you track unauthorized use of your identity information early.

Similarly, the platform also monitors thousands of websites on the dark web and black market for instances of identity theft or data breaches. Additionally, there's an active social media identity monitoring feature, which keeps an eye on your Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube accounts for any unauthorized or suspicious posts.

There’s also a smart SSN tracker, which flags any unfamiliar names or addresses associated with a Social Security number. Additionally, there is a proactive investment account alert, which notifies you of any possible fraudulent withdrawals, deposits, or transfers related to your financial accounts or 401(k).

However, IdentityForce's credit monitoring is one of its strongest features, although it's only available on its most expensive plan. You can get a quarterly credit report summary from all three credit bureaus: TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax, along with a daily credit score from TransUnion.

This summary consolidates all of your financial information, such as total accounts, open accounts, and total balances, into one quick snapshot view. You can also view each report in detail and even dispute incorrect data directly from your IdentityForce dashboard. There’s also a pretty handy credit score tracker where you can view your credit score history.

(Image credit: IdentityForce)

A rather unique feature of IdentityForce is its personalized Identity Safety Score, which indicates how susceptible you are to identity theft based on your past data breach history and top risks. This feature is best used with IdentityForce's customized action plan, which suggests steps you can take to strengthen your identity protection. For instance, the action plan might suggest setting up two-factor authentication or changing your credit card PINs.

(Image credit: IdentityForce)

Much like peers such as LifeLock, IdentityForce also offers a dedicated restoration specialist on all of its paid plans. If you believe you have become a victim of identity theft, you can reach out to your dedicated resolution specialist through your IdentityForce dashboard, who will then open and investigate your case. What I like most about IdentityForce's resolution specialist feature is that they won't close the case until you agree that a full and final resolution has been reached.

Even after the case is mutually closed, IdentityForce will reopen and re-investigate it in the event of any future incidents. This kind of transparency shows the provider’s commitment to accountability and thoroughness by offering you complete control over the resolution process.

Besides this, IdentityForce also includes a few ancillary security tools in its subscription plans, making them more comprehensive. For instance, there's a virtual private network (VPN) for mobile devices (but it only works with mobile and tablets), PC protection tools such as anti-phishing and anti-keylogging functions, and a handy password manager.

IdentityForce: Interface and in-use experience

The centerpiece of IdentityForce's offering is its intuitive dashboard, which ensures that all vital information, such as alerts, credit scores, transactions, and identity vaults, is visible as soon as you log in. If you don’t see a feature or information, simply click on the three-bar hamburger icon and everything will pop up right away.

IdentityForce's mobile apps are equally good, with each piece of information stacked into small rectangles. You can tap on these rectangles to expand information such as alerts or credit scores. That said, both the desktop and mobile versions feel a bit stuck in the past compared to modern UI platforms like Aura. However, IdentityForce is definitely easy to use and beginner-friendly.

IdentityForce: The competition

As we already highlighted, the biggest thing that holds IdentityForce back is the lack of credit monitoring on its basic UltraSecure plan, which is already quite expensive compared to peers like LifeLock or Aura.

If you choose IdentityForce and also require credit monitoring, you'll have to pay at least $34.90 per month. However, with Aura, you only need to pay $12 per month for the same three-bureau credit monitoring. With LifeLock, you pay only $10.42 per month for one-bureau credit monitoring.

The identity theft protection insurance is also higher with LifeLock and Aura. While the coverage goes up to $3 million with LifeLock, Aura offers $5 million in protection on its family plan.

That said, IdentityForce is owned by TransUnion, one of the three major credit bureaus in the country. This means you get access to bureau-level data instead of relying on third-party aggregators. This likely contributes to why IdentityForce's ID monitoring, credit scores, and action plans are among the best in the industry, which also explains its premium price.

IdentityForce: Final verdict

To put it in a nutshell, IdentityForce's basic plan may not meet your requirements since it does not include credit monitoring services. You'll need to get its UltraSecure Plus Credit plan, starting at $34.90 per month.

While it includes all key identity theft protection features such as dark web monitoring, advanced fraud monitoring, real-time detections, a sleek dashboard, personalized action plans, and an Identity Safety Score, its pricing is on the higher side. There are cheaper options, such as LifeLock or Aura, starting at $10.42 per month and $12 per month, respectively.

That said, IdentityForce is one of the few identity theft protection platforms offered by a credit bureau itself – TransUnion. This means you get direct access to credit reports, scores, and financial information without relying on third-party aggregators, making IdentityForce one of the best credit monitoring tools on the market.

So, if you are someone who juggles a lot of financial accounts, investments, and credit and needs a reliable credit monitoring and identity theft protection tool, IdentityForce is a strong option. However, if credit monitoring isn't your main concern and you are on a tighter budget, you might consider other options such as Aura or LifeLock.

As office furniture editor, I'm always on the look out for office chairs and standing desks that are actually worth your money. And for my money, the best budget combo around right now is the Sihoo B100 and the FlexiSpot one-piece standing desk.

In the US, the Sihoo B100 office chair is now $160 (was $220), and the FlexiSpot standing desk is $105 (was $140).

In the UK, Sihoo's B100 office chair is now £140 (was £190), with the FlexiSpot standing desk at £111 (was £130).

If you're upgrading your home office, or prepping for the back-to-school season, these are my two recommendations. The combination of a cheap office chair with adaptive lumbar support and a wobble-free standing desk with a single-piece desktop is largely unheard of at this price.

For my money, the B100 is one of the best budget office chairs you can get right now. The adaptive lumbar support is the standout feature, offering consistent support even when you move in your seat, reducing pressure on your lower back and helping your posture.

In the UK: now £140 (was £190)View Deal

We've had great experiences testing FlexiSpot's office furniture range, so I don't hesitate to recommend this budget pick. This electric sit-stand desk features a solid one-piece desktop that feels sturdier than cheap splice-board models

In the UK: now £111 (was £130)View Deal

My team and I have reviewed plenty of FlexiSpot and Sihoo office furniture, and they always perform well in our tests. So, while I don't have hands-on experience with the B100 or the EN1, the brands have performed so strongly that I don't hesitate in recommending both of my budget picks.

First up, the Sihoo B100. This mesh office chair has all the core features I'd expect to see on a seat this price. It tilts, reclines, has flip-up armrests and adjustable headrest, and a widened seat cushion to spread your weight more evenly.

But the star feature for me is the adaptive lumbar support. As I say, you don't typically get this on a cheap office chair - the cheapest alternative I can think of is the FlexiSpot C7. Usually, they have either fixed or adjustable lower back support. Adaptive lumbar support is something entirely different.

Rather than forcing you into a rigid position, this type provides continued support even while you move in your seat. if you spend long hours at your desk, it's a genuinely game-changing feature.

Second, FlexiSpot's standing desk. This is another budget bit of kit that really stands out to me. Right from the start, it has all the core features I want to see from any sit-stand desk, including an LED programmable control panel and four memory presets, and anti-collision detection.

Height range via the single-motor operation is 28.9in to 46.5in, which is suitable for most people - although I recommend anyone over six foot checking out desks with a height range up to 50in to prevent any slouching.

Here, the star feature is the single-piece desktop. That makes it a lot more stable than cheaper splice-board desks you usually see at that price, since there's no join in the surface. This desk comes in a range of sizes and styles to suit your workspace.

If you're kitting out a workspace with new office furniture, this is the affordable desk and chair I'd choose every time. You may see somme desks and chairs cheaper than this, but when it comes to features, I haven't seen anything to beat either at this price.

• Hostinger launches a new tool for selling online without a website
• The tool offers the ability to sell across multiple channels and platforms
• It will soon be compatible with AI agents

Web hosting giant Hostinger claims that selling online is no longer about centralized ecommerce websites, but about tapping into multiple selling channels and platforms – and its new tool can help.

Hostinger Ecommerce starts with the business itself, collecting information on products, inventory, orders, shipping, payments, and customer data. It then allows sellers to connect their ecommerce business to websites, social networks, messaging apps, and, soon, AI agents, all from one central dashboard.

The concept is simple. Upload once, sell almost everywhere.

A new channel doesn’t mean starting from scratch; it’s just opening another door. Everything is managed from one space. So, sell the last product of a range on TikTok shop, and it goes ‘out of stock’ everywhere else.

The future of ecommerce

Hostinger claims that users can go from product image to ready to sell in just a few minutes, thanks to its Quick Links feature. Sellers start by uploading a product photo, then the platform’s AI creates a full product page including descriptions, key details, and even a suggested price.

Then you simply connect a payment method and share the link wherever you want to sell.

Hostinger Ecommerce has been built with beginners and non-technical professionals in mind. Set up is guided by Kodee, Hostinger’s AI support agent, taking users through the journey, asking practical questions such as what and where they sell, their business details, and which sales channels they want to connect to.

According to Auksė Žirgulė, Head of Hostinger Website Builder and Ecommerce, “For small sellers, the opportunity is huge, but only if their business can move as fast as their customers do. They should not have to guess which channel will matter next. They should be able to focus on growing their business, while providers like Hostinger Ecommerce build the future-ready infrastructure around them.”

Hostinger also shared that it is actively developing the ability to connect products with AI agents, helping users to connect and sell to potential customers using AI.

Right now, Hostinger Ecommerce is free to use for Hostinger customers on the Business or higher rate plans. New customers can access the platform starting at $2.99/month.

The biggest threat to your phone isn't malware, it's how you conduct yourself online.

Boomerang is a popular name that comes up when discussing the best parental control apps. This Android-first application offers several features you’d come to expect when looking to monitor your child’s online activities. However, it does one better by offering its proprietary SPIN browser, which automatically filters a lot of harmful content without you having to do the heavy lifting.

Beyond that, this app promises 24/7 location tracking, message monitoring and a more positive approach to app control, although there are vast differences between the experience you get on Android when compared to iOS.

Read on as we dissect Boomerang, exploring its features, pricing, and in-use experience, to help you find out whether it's the right choice for your household.

Boomerang review: Plans and pricing

(Image credit: Boomerang)

Boomerang is, hands down, one of the cheapest parental control applications you can find on the market. Its single-device license costs only $19.99 per year, which boils down to around $1.67 per month. That’s significantly cheaper than Mobicip’s Lite plan, which costs around $3 per month.

If you want to protect more than one child, you can opt for Boomerang’s family plan, which costs only $40 per year and covers up to 10 devices. That's around $0.33 per device per month. It’s safe to say that you won’t find a more affordable parental control application on the market.

To add to this, Boomerang also offers a limited free plan (read: 14-day free trial) that lets you try everything the platform has to offer without any limitations. You get access to all its Android & iOS protection features along with customer support during this trial period.

Another handy feature is that none of the plans auto-renew when the subscription period ends, giving you enough time to review your subscription and decide for yourself whether you want to continue with Boomerang.

Boomerang review: Features

With Boomerang, there’s a lot of disparity between the features available on Android and iOS, with the latter missing out on many of the features Boomerang has to offer.

For instance, when it comes to screen time limits, Android devices allow you to allocate screen time (for example, one hour per day) or schedule screen time, such as from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. You can also inform the child of how much screen time they have left for the day. However, on iOS, you can only schedule screen time, and none of these additional features are available.

(Image credit: Boomerang)

Similarly, app control is much better on Android. Boomerang lets you set per-app schedules, add daily time limits to individual apps, and block apps entirely. However, none of these features are available on iOS, where you can only hide user-installed apps based on age ratings.

In a similar vein, Android offers a lot of call safety features. Parents can view who called, how long the call lasted, and when the conversation took place. They also have the ability to block specific numbers from calling in or out and allow only specific numbers to contact their children’s devices. However, all of these features are missing from the iOS version.

The same goes for text messaging and safety features. While parents can view text message logs and even read their contents on Android, this is simply not possible on iOS devices. Boomerang does a good job of notifying parents about texts from unknown numbers or those containing inappropriate words. You can also add specific words to your family group’s dictionary to detect them in text messages.

(Image credit: Boomerang)

However, there are certain features that work equally well on both Android and iOS. For instance, location tracking works across both platforms, you can access location histories and automatic location reporting, and parents can set up impressive geofenced radii on both, too.

And no matter what platform you use, you’ll get access to a family messaging group, one-on-one chatting and activity reporting. On both platforms you’ll get to see your child’s web history and block certain websites you do not approve of. The SPIN safe browser works on both platforms, and you can block specific websites on both, too.

However, Android’s reporting is much stronger thanks to detailed email summaries, daily reports, lists of installed apps, and per-app usage reporting. Android is also the only platform where you can control installed apps and use a “find my device”-style feature on your children’s phones.

You can also pair family devices with your email address, so you don’t have to create new email accounts for your children, and you can block new app installs or allow for parental approval.

Elsewhere, Boomerang monitors YouTube history and searches on Android, and it’s one of the only parental control apps to use Samsung Knox security if you’re using Samsung devices.

(Image credit: Boomerang)

The SPIN browser impresses, too: searches in browsers like Bing, Google and Yahoo are automatically filtered and the browser has strict built-in filtering. It doesn’t have a private browsing mode, those content filters can be customized, and its filter watches out for 20 different categories of potentially inappropriate content.

(Image credit: Boomerang)

Less impressive is Boomerang’s social media functionality. It doesn’t natively monitor social media apps or emails in the same way as Bark, for instance. The app will pick up certain things by tracking messaging and typing, and you can add social media sites to its web filters – but it’s not as good as Bark or Qustodio here.

At least, because you’ve got control over what apps are installed, you can prevent your children from installing social media tools in the first place.

Boomerang review: Interface and in-use

It’s not unusual for the installation and setup of parental control apps to be a bit fiddly, and that’s certainly the case with Boomerang.

To get call and SMS monitoring, you’ll have to install Android apps on your children’s devices via the Boomerang website, rather than the Google Play Store. You may also have to delve into the settings on the device to allow for non-store installations.

Thankfully, the parent apps can just be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store, and it’s far easier. And when everything is set up, the interface is a mixed bag: the phone app is relatively slick, but the web dashboard is archaic and harder to use when compared to the web interfaces offered by most rivals.

(Image credit: Boomerang)Boomerang review: Support

Boomerang has certainly improved its support over the years. At the time of writing, you'll find a neat help button in the bottom-right corner of the website. At first glance, it looks like a chatbot, but it's actually a search tool that lets you type in your query and returns a list of relevant help articles from Boomerang's extensive online knowledge base.

(Image credit: Boomerang)

We tried it with a couple of search queries and found the results to be accurate. You can then click on a search result to open the relevant help article. If that doesn't solve your issue, you can select Contact Us from the same dialog box and submit a support ticket. However, Boomerang doesn't clearly state how long it will take to receive a response.

Boomerang review: The competition

We’ve already established that it is pretty difficult to beat Boomerang when it comes to pricing. With prices as low as $0.33 per month per device on the family plan, Boomerang is definitely one of the cheapest parental control software options you can get.

However, it does have a few competitors that might beat it when it comes to overall value for money and features. Mobicip is one such application, with plans starting at just $2.99 per month and allowing you to manage up to five devices. While it is a tad costlier than Boomerang, it is well known for its robust screen time limits and schedule management.

That said, you cannot set app limits with Mobicip until you upgrade to its premium plan, which costs $7.99 per month.

While Boomerang does offer geofencing and location tracking, these features are still in the experimental stage, and the geofencing radius is not particularly wide. Norton Family, on the other hand, offers a much larger geofencing radius of up to 3,200 meters.

Besides that, applications like Bark and Qustodio offer better features on the iOS platform, whereas Boomerang falls far behind when it comes to iOS functionality.

Boomerang review: Final verdict

Whether you should opt for Boomerang depends entirely on the type of device your child is using. If they are using Android, Boomerang is still one of the more capable parental control software options you can get. It offers a wide range of features on Android, including the ability to set dedicated screen time limits along with per-app daily limits and scheduling.

You also get detailed text message and call safety features, including the ability to allow only specific contacts to call or message your child. The location tracking is fairly decent, showing recent device locations and location history, along with the ability to request your child’s location at any time.

Best of all, this comes at one of the most affordable prices you’ll find on the market, costing just $20 per year for a single child and $40 per year for a family plan, which covers 10 devices.

That said, Boomerang lacks dedicated social media monitoring. Another major drawback is its limited iOS feature set. For instance, there’s no call or text monitoring on iOS, and important features like app controls and screen time management features are also significantly more limited. In that case, you may want to look at other options such as Bark or Qustodio, which offer a broader range of features on iOS.

• We've picked out the best parental control software

Google Search uploads may be used to train AI unless users opt out, raising privacy and data governance concerns for businesses.

The post Google Search Uploads Can Train AI Unless You Opt Out appeared first on TechRepublic.

Mobicip is positioned as one of the best parental control app for busy parents who want to restrict the impact of Big Tech on their children’s lives.

The company claims that “more than 2 million parents” love its app, and that it can protect kids from social media, apps, websites and excessive screen time. And it's also got Family Voice and Mom’s Choice Awards, which prove its mettle.

We put Mobicip to the test to see whether it lives up to the hype and expectations. In this article, we discuss its pricing, features, interface, and overall user experience. We also compare it with other parental control software available to see where it stands in a crowded market.

Mobicip: Plans and pricing

(Image credit: Mobicip)

Mobicip’s pricing structure has its highs and lows. The biggest advantage is its affordable entry-level plan (Lite), which costs just $2.99 per month and allows you to manage up to five devices. It includes almost all the parental control features you’d need, such as screen time limits, website blocking, and detailed activity reports.

However, this plan lacks social media monitoring and app timers, both of which are key features of parental control applications. The Standard plan costs $4.99 per month and allows you to manage up to 10 devices, but it does not offer any additional features.

If you need social media monitoring and app limits, you’ll need Mobicip’s Premium plan, which costs $7.99 per month, or around $96 per year. This plan includes protection for up to 20 devices and every feature that Mobicip offers. And if you need to monitor more than 20 devices, you can request a custom quote from Mobicip’s sales team by filling out an online form.

Qustodio, meanwhile, costs $9.16 per month if billed annually and that includes support for unlimited devices, and Norton Family is even cheaper ($49.99 for the entire year). Bark is more expensive, though, but does go further than almost anything else when it comes to social media monitoring.

Overall, Mobicip is on the affordable end of the spectrum when it comes to parental control applications. Its Premium package is still the best value by some way thanks to its features. And, pleasingly, there’s a 7-day free trial and 30-day money-back guarantee.

Mobicip: Features

Mobicip’s screen time scheduling is immediately impressive. Parents can create specific schedules for homework, sleeping or school time.

(Image credit: Mobicip)

Daily screen time limits are available and, in an innovative twist on screen time features, parents can call for “family time” by locking all managed devices instantly – perfect for grabbing people’s attention.

(Image credit: Mobicip)

You can create an unlimited number of custom filters, build schedules with five-minute increments, and allow or restrict apps or websites based on categories, too. There’s also a Vacation Mode feature that parents can deploy to allow more leniency.

This is comfortably one of the best scheduling tools on the market thanks to its great set of features – the only thing missing is the ability to set time limits for individual apps.

If you want to ensure that phones don’t capture attention, Mobicip allows parents to limit time spent on apps that hit certain categories, like social media or games, and particular apps can also be blocked entirely – while others can be put on a safe list.

(Image credit: Mobicip)

Mobicip’s web filtering comes with 20 different categories of inappropriate content alongside the ability to block adult content, block specific words and block specific websites. Parents can also use a “whitelist-only” mode that allows children to only browse a list of pre-approved sites.

GPS functionality extends to a family locator tool, location sharing and geofencing – an ideal slate of location-specific options, even if Mobicip doesn’t have the innovative driving abilities found in some rival tools.

(Image credit: Mobicip)

Its geofencing includes a 1,000m radius, which is more generous than many other apps – even if Norton is wider still. However, Mobicip doesn't offer live driving tracking or driving statistics, which are features available with providers like Net Nanny.

When it comes to reporting, parents can access a slick dashboard that provides browsing histories, location histories, your children’s access requests and a graphical representation of screen time usage displaying the categories of content your kids use the most – like social media apps, games or browsers.

Children also have access to a dashboard where they can request more screen time or ask to access blocked apps. And if you want multiple people to be able to manage the app, parents can add trusted guardians or contacts using a straightforward and secure invitation system.

(Image credit: Mobicip)

We found this to be a unique feature that is not offered by many parental control apps and is especially useful for families with grandparents or co-parenting households.

Elsewhere, Mobicip monitors Facebook and Snapchat for harmful content, but that’s it for social media monitoring – a poor showing compared to most rivals and, notably, Bark.

(Image credit: Mobicip)

Bark monitors more than 30 platforms, including TikTok, YouTube, Discord, Reddit, and WhatsApp, all of which Mobicip misses out on. Additionally, these apps can only be monitored on Android devices and still lack iOS support, which is a bit of a letdown.

You can’t set time limits for individual apps on Mobicip, only categories of apps, and Mobicip doesn’t monitor text messages or calls.

Mobicip: Interface and in-use

It’s very easy to get started with Mobicip: download the app, allow permissions, and off you go. And, impressively, Mobicip works across loads of platforms, from Android and iOS to Windows, macOS, Chromebook and even Kindle.

One thing we liked about Mobicip is that it preconfigures many settings and filters based on your child’s age when you set up their profile. This is particularly useful for busy parents who don’t want to spend hours configuring everything from scratch.

In-depth guides make setup and configuration even easier, and parents can duplicate settings across multiple child devices – ideal for families with more than one child.

(Image credit: Mobicip)

Mobicip’s web interfaces and apps are clean, intuitive and easy to use, too: for kids, it’s easy to check their screen time allowances and schedules. For parents, it’s simple to find every setting required and to access activity reports and analytics.

Mobicip: Support

This is another area where Mobicip goes above and beyond many rivals. As well as submitting a support ticket, parents can schedule a call with Mobicip’s customer service teams – ideal if you want to speak to a human.

An AI-powered chatbot provides answers to simpler questions, and there are loads of guides with useful imagery on Mobicip’s website. It’s a good support option, with callbacks available alongside more conventional email support and loads of comprehensive articles.

Mobicip: The competition

Mobicip is a strong contender when it comes to parental control, but it still has rivals that are better in some areas.

For instance, Norton Family costs $49.99 per year, which is cheaper than Mobicip’s Standard plan. It offers comprehensive social media monitoring across platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube. Mobicip, on the other hand, can monitor only Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.

Additionally, Bark is a much better option for social media monitoring, covering more than 30 applications. That said, Bark is a more expensive option, costing around $14 per month for its full feature set.

Then there’s Qustodio, which is only slightly more expensive than Mobicip, with an effective monthly cost of $9.16. However, this plan allows you to add unlimited devices and monitor your child’s calls and messages – something that Mobicip cannot do.

Mobicip: Final verdict

Mobicip impresses in loads of departments. Its filtering is effective, and its screen time and scheduling options are among the best you’ll find anywhere. Its location-tracking features are strong, too, and this app is attractive and easy to use for parents and children.

Customer support is excellent, its activity reporting is comprehensive, and it does some innovative things with scheduling and screen time that some rivals simply don’t offer – like its Vacation Mode or Family Time settings.

You get all of these features at fairly affordable prices, starting at just $2.99 per month with Mobicip’s Lite plan. If you want to unlock the full range of features, you’ll need to spend around $7.99 per month, which is comparable to other social media monitoring applications.

However, Mobicip’s biggest drawback is its lack of message and call monitoring, along with its limited social media monitoring capabilities. If those features are important to you, you may need to look elsewhere and consider alternatives such as Bark or Qustodio.

• We've also featured the best free parental control software

• Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand has been revealed
• It's a standalone roguelike survival game based on Company of Heroes 3
• It will feature four playable factions and multiple progression systems

As a bit of a lapsed strategy game lover, I've been meaning to try out Company of Heroes 3 for years but just haven't yet managed to find the time to dive into its lengthy campaign and get to grips with the beefy online multiplayer.

Under the Radar

Under the Radar is our way of highlighting great games that might have passed you by. Through a regular mix of news stories and features, we'll cover great experiences that we feel haven't found the audience they deserve. Read the full series here.

The more condensed action of the upcoming Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand might be just the thing to get me on board. This newly revealed entry in the beloved strategy franchise sounds like one of those old standalone expansions (like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon or Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City), offering reimagined version of Company of Heroes 3 that doesn't require the base game to play.

It's all about wave-based survival, challenging you with highly replayable levels that have you holding out against escalating waves of enemy forces. There are 36 boss challenging units to break up the waves of grunts and a roguelike progression system that has you choosing persistent upgrades every life to make each run feel more unique.

There are four playable factions to master (the allied US and British, and the German Wehrmacht and Afrikakorps) each with their own progression trees to work through and unlockable premium cosmetic skin packs.

Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand will support online co-op so you can hold out with friends, as well as eight difficulty levels designed for everyone all the way from total series newcomers to experts.

It launches later this month on July 29, 2026, for PC and is available to wishlist on Steam now.

• Sony has announced that it's ending physical PlayStation game disc production in 2028
• Fans are protesting the decision and have created a petition to urge Sony to change its mind
• It now has over 170,000 signatures

PlayStation fans have created a petition in a bid to urge Sony to reverse its decision to end physical game disc production from January 2028, and it's already reached over 170,000 signatures.

"On July 1, 2026, Sony announced it will end production of physical discs for all new PlayStation games starting January 2028," the 'Don't Kill the Disc' Change.org petition reads. "New games will be sold digitally, or as a box containing only a download code, with no disc inside."

The petition, created by the CEO of Canadian retailer PNP Games, also points out that days earlier, it was confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 physical editions will launch with no disc, but a digital download code instead, which many fans are disappointed with.

"When the market leader ends the disc, the rest of the industry follows," the statement continues. A disc is a real game you own. You can lend it, trade it, resell it, gift it, collect it, or pass it down to your kids. A box with only a download code is not the same thing. It is a digital license in plastic packaging. You do not own it. You are renting access that can be revoked, and people have already had purchased movies deleted from their libraries and games pulled from sale weeks after launch."

With a lack of physical games to sell in in-store retailers, there's also the risk of job losses and a weaker local economy, the creator added, and stressed that they're not against digital, but against digital being the only option.

As of writing, the petition has 172,204 signatures, and number which is growing by the minute, and many fans are being vocal about their disdain for Sony's decision.

"Physical media is what makes consoles the best place to play modern AAA games," one petitioner said. "It's the only decentralized local DRM solution that is both acceptable for publishers and provides sufficient ownership and user control to satisfy both sides. It is crucial for physical media to survive until digital ownership is sufficiently solved. My 30-year streak of supporting PlayStation depends on this decision. Don't betray your most loyal long-time customers Sony.

Another comment reads: "I've been a gamer on the PlayStation platform since the PS1 days, and many of my favorite games have been on PlayStation systems, whether as exclusives or simply a preferred platform. However, I'm a physical media gamer, and I refuse to support any gaming company that tells me I don't have the option to own physical media. I hope Sony will reverse this decision, but if not, then they will cease to get business from me after January 2028."

There are plenty more comments to cycle through, but while fans are voicing their concerns, Sony is notably quiet on the matter.

After posting the announcement, the company hasn't yet shared a statement in response to the outcry, so it remains to be seen if the PlayStation maker will cave under pressure.

• International Aerial Photographer of the Year 2026 winners announced
• Azim Khan Ronnie and Vitaly Golovatyuk scoop the top 'Photographer' and 'Photograph' prizes
• Both winners shoot aerial images with a DJI Mavic 4 Pro

If you love jaw-dropping aerial images, the International Aerial Photographer of the Year contest is well worth checking out — and the contest's 2026 winners have just been announced.

A total of 101 images were shortlisted by the contest's three judges, and Azim Khan Ronnie scooped the top prize with his portfolio of scenes from around the world, including vibrant images of chili pepper harvesters in his home country of Bangladesh.

Ronnie said: “From above, everyday scenes reveal patterns, geometry, textures and relationships that are often invisible from the ground. Aerial photography allows me to tell stories about people, nature and the environment from a perspective that inspires curiosity and offers a deeper understanding of the world."

A minimum of four images are required to be considered for the top 'Photographer' prize won by Ronnie. Vitaly Golovatyuk of the Russian Federation took 1st place for the International Aerial Photograph of the Year, with their individual image of a bird standing in a perfectly still lake in Elk Park, outside Dongtai City in the Zhejiang Province of China.

You can take a look at Azim Khan Ronnie's portfolio below, with the variety of scenes including migratory seagulls in Yamuna Ghat, Delhi, India and a perfectly synchronized rowing team gliding over the mist-covered surface of Lake Zurich in Switzerland.

I reached out to Azim Khan Ronnie, who described his images as "unique and extraordinary", and the result of much hard work, repeat visits and early starts.

I was particularly drawn to his series of chili pepper harvesters in Bogura, Bangladesh, where more than 2,000 people work on approximately 100 chili farms — you can see more of his images from this particular series at his Instagram page, linked below.

The vibrant colors grabbed my attention first, then the abstract patterns and astute composition kept me engaged.

I also enjoyed his use of manual exposure and a slow shutter speed to blur the motion of the migratory seagulls, in contrast to the still (and sharp) boat they're surrounding, in his image from Yamuna Ghat, Delhi, India.

In the International Aerial Photographer of the Year press release, learn that Ronnie takes his aerial images with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro drone — a professional triple-camera drone which scored a maximum 5-star rating in our in-depth review.

Ronnie says, “For aerial photography, I use the DJI Mavic 4 Pro and DJI Mavic 3 Classic, allowing me to create images that reveal scale, patterns and perspectives impossible to capture from the ground. I always shoot exclusively in raw to capture the maximum amount of image data, giving me greater flexibility during post-processing while preserving image quality."

Vitaly Golovatyuk also used a Mavic 4 Pro for his winning individual image (above), taken in China, where the still lake appears like an eye, with the bird framed in the center among the reflected clouds and the surrounding rich red landscape.

The winners from the 101 shortlisted entries can be found at The International Aerial Photographer of the Year website, whose founders are on a mission 'to encourage and share the wonders of aerial photography'.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page linked above, there's a flip book containing all of the shortlisted entries — trust me, it's well worth a look.

There are few more prominent names in cybersecurity than Norton. Norton Family tries to leverage that recognition and trust into one of the best parental control apps that protects your children when they’re using the internet.

With a wide feature set that includes screen time controls, inappropriate content filters, app restrictions, and location checkers, it’s clear that Norton Family provides many of the options that busy families with digitally savvy children need.

Some of the features have more depth than you’ll find on other parental control apps, too, but there are questions about how effective Norton Family is on Apple’s iOS platform. So, let’s find out if Norton’s product is the right option for protecting your children.

Norton Family: Plans and pricing

Norton Family gets off to an impressive start: it costs just $49.99/£29.99 per year. That stellar price undercuts many rivals – top tools like Qustodio and Bark cost $89.36/£69.95 and $99 for a year of access to their upper-tier products.

Because Norton offers so many consumer cybersecurity products, it’s easy to get Norton Family included in other products. Norton 360 Deluxe, for instance, includes Norton’s parental control features alongside a secure VPN, dark web monitoring, and scam protection. It costs $49.99/£29.99 for the first year, with a renewal price of $119.99/£89.99.

And if you want to add even more features, such as Norton’s identity theft protection and credit monitoring, Norton 360 Premium or Select Plus costs $99.99/£99.99.

Those prices may look high, but remember that they’re for broader security products that happen to include Norton Family features, so they still represent excellent value.

If you’re still unsure if Norton Family is right for you, there’s a 30-day free trial – a generous offer that’s longer than many other free trials. Bear in mind, though, that there’s no unrestricted free version of Norton Family, as is the case with tools like Boomerang.

Norton Family: Features

Web filtering is one of Norton Family’s strongest areas. Parents can block websites using 45 pre-defined categories of inappropriate content, including porn, violence, gambling, and alcohol, which is more than many rivals.

What we like most about Norton Family is the ability to set restriction levels for websites instead of blocking them outright. Parents can choose from four restriction levels: Very High, High, Moderate, and Low, depending on the age of the child. For instance, the High restriction level is ideal for children under 10 years of age.

Alternatively, Moderate and Low restriction levels are meant for older teenagers, who’ll see a warning before accessing restricted content but can still choose to visit the website. You can also create custom restrictions in case you want your child to be able to visit a particular website but receive a notification every time they do.

The impressive filtering extends to apps, too. Parents are presented with a list of apps installed on child devices, blocking is simple, and each app has an activity report for parents to see when the app was installed and how much it’s used. Newly-installed apps are even given a special highlight on Android devices.

The only thing missing here is the ability to set app time limits – a feature you’ll find on many rivals, including Qustodio.

Norton also monitors the terms and phrases your child searches on popular search engines such as Google, Bing, YouTube, Ask, and Yahoo. There's also an option to always enable safe searching across various browsers on Android – but on iOS, this only works using Norton’s own browser. Also note that Norton Family doesn’t work on child Mac OS devices at all.

Norton’s screen time schedules can be built in thirty-minute increments – that’s fine, but apps like Mobicip allow more granular control. Parents can set screen time limits on different days or just restrict devices at night, and it also has a selection of effective pre-defined schedules for children of different ages.

There’s also a specific module for setting more restrictive limits during school hours – that education option includes additional web filtering to further restrict the content children can access. Kids can request more screen time – a feature you’ll find in Mobicip but not in Qustodio – and screen time reports are displayed easily, with clear graphs showing usage.

Norton Family includes the usual array of location-based features. There’s real-time tracking, and the geofencing tool includes a generous radius of 3,200m (2 miles) – the largest we’ve seen on any parental control app.

Parents can set up alerts to find out where kids are located at particular times of day. Norton’s emphasis on trusting children also extends to an option where kids can perform check-ins and choose to share their location – rather than parents automatically viewing the location.

We particularly liked Norton’s detailed Family Activity reports, which give you a quick snapshot of all your child’s activity. This includes your child’s device usage time, allowing you to check the total number of hours they have spent on their phone.

There’s also a pretty handy video summary that lets you know about the videos your child has been watching, including details such as the date and time, title of the video, and its category. Besides this, you get a comprehensive web summary that provides information on the websites your child has visited, as well as an app summary.

Elsewhere, Norton allows parents to instantly lock child devices and prevent app uninstallation with additional security features. However, Norton doesn’t support certain features on iOS. For instance, web content filtering and Safe Search enforcement only work through the Norton Browser on iOS. Similarly, search supervision and video supervision also work only on the Norton Browser on both Android and iOS, while app supervision is not available on iOS at all.

Norton Family also lacks in certain other areas, which prevents it from becoming an automatic first choice. For starters, there’s no dedicated social media monitoring. Parents have to rely on app limitations and keyword alerts if they want to monitor their child’s activity on social media platforms. Norton Family cannot directly read your child’s conversations on various social messaging apps.

Additionally, Norton cannot monitor calls or text messages either. If these are important features for you, you may want to consider other options such as Bark or Qustodio.

Norton Family: Interface and in-use

Norton’s parental control apps are available on Android, iOS and the Edge, Chrome and Firefox browsers, while child apps can be installed on Android, Windows and iOS devices.

No matter what platform you’re using, Norton Family is very easy to set up with a familiar process that requires account registration and allowing the typical range of app permissions on child devices.

The kids apps allow children to browse the web using the Norton Family Browser and it’s easy for children to find the option to send a check-in to parents, see the rules they’ve been set, or ask for a time extension.

Parent apps are similarly well designed, with clean design and options in sensible places. Altering settings is simple, and the app's web version is just as straightforward to use.

Norton Family: Support

Norton Family’s entry-level support module includes loads of helpful, well-produced guides and a busy forum for asking questions. If you need to contact Norton support, there are phone and live chat options that are open 24/7 – the benefit of dealing with a large business like Norton rather than a smaller organization that can’t provide that level of access.

If you’d like more support, including faster access to experts, then you can also pay for Norton Ultimate Help Desk. This provides quicker and more comprehensive support, but it costs $99.99/£99.99 annually.

Also note that Norton’s array of support options doesn’t always mean you’ll get a good answer.

The sheer size of Norton means that some users report that some of Norton’s customer support representatives are not particularly helpful with queries about Norton Family features – if you’ve got a specific query then you’ll need to get lucky and land a knowledgeable support representative if you don’t want to get generic and vague answers.

Norton Family: The competition

If we break down Norton Family’s annual pricing, it comes to just around $4.16 per month, making it more affordable than most other parental control providers out there. For instance, Bark, one of the leading players in this field, charges around $14 per month for its full suite of features. But that includes the ability to monitor your child’s texts, along with more comprehensive app controls covering 30+ apps.

If you want something cheaper than Norton Family, you can go with Mobicip, whose Lite plan costs only $2.99 per month and offers great scheduling and screen time management. Elsewhere, the features are very similar to what you get with Norton Family, but keep in mind that you'll have to deal with a lack of social media monitoring and app limits with this budget Mobicip plan.

In our research, we found that Norton Family is still better than Qustodio’s basic plan (cost similar to Norton Family at $59.95/year), which only offers web filtering, location monitoring, app blocking, and daily time limits. To unlock more advanced features, such as social media monitoring, call and message monitoring, and application insights, you’ll need to get a higher-priced plan that costs almost twice as much as Norton Family.

Norton Family: Final verdict

Norton Family, then, sits in a tricky spot. It’s a good pick if you’re looking for a good, well-rounded parental control app, plus it helps that it’s included with many other Norton apps too. It offers an excellent range of features, including web content filtering, Safe Search, app supervision, screen time schedules, and real-time location tracking.

In addition to offering one of the widest geofencing ranges (2 miles), Norton Family is also on the affordable end of the spectrum, costing just $49.99 for the entire year. However, it comes with its fair share of compromises.

Norton Family doesn't offer dedicated social media monitoring and cannot monitor calls or text messages. It also lacks per-app time limits, and certain features, such as web filtering and search supervision, are quite limited on iOS devices. If these limitations break the deal for you, consider alternatives such as Bark, Qustodio, or Mobicip.
