App in the UK that tracks children's phone use?

This unknown new app as stated as a news in Neowin is said to be tracking children's phone use. It may be useful to see what indecent things they have done on the phone whether it's theirs or maybe their parents and especially when they are using the phones or tablets for hours straight. However, the indecent thing about the app is the privacy violation we already know of ever since two years ago and this is some kind of the app people in UK SHOULD AVOID! If the device is the parent's one that is used by his/her children, why can't the parent inspect the goddamn device in a standard way? WHY USE THAT APP that simplifies that inspection?
What about home computers that are used by multiple users? What about the game consoles and other stuffs? Laziness is kind of fine but I think that it should be the proper time that YOU CHECK EVERYTHING for children's usage to see if anything is CHANGED. How about you monitor the goddamn home like it's a freaking extraordinary home surveillance camera you're using while you're at work? Do you really want to watch them non-stop while you're away?
BETTER STILL, if that mobile device is yours whether you're a parent or whatever, that mobile device is 100% personal and in fact, you should stick to checking it for any undesirable changes done by the children in a traditional way.
You know, there's Parental Control feature that can be handy for whatever device you have for family use but if your entire family is at an adult age, that feature may be kind of pointless because most of home devices belong to one specific owner. In fact, there can be a home surveillance camera which may look kind of simple to see what the children are doing whether they are guests or maybe the family members of yours and especialy that that camera is cloud connected. That may be something to install in a living room but not the bedroom as some of the rooms may need to be used as changing room as well. That should also be something to keep track of, not that bullshit mobile app.
