Allow keyword/phrase filtering. Users can specify any keywords or phrases, and any web page containing any of the keywords/phrases will be blocked by Funamo.
Parents can view and change settings remotely from any browser (Note: push/sync from the web is not supported for Nook HD/HD+. All settings and history data are synced each night or you can do a manual sync from you Nook device)
Device monitoring:
Log history of all web site visited and application launched

Sync contacts stored on the device to the server
All history data are uploaded to the server each night or can be manually synced from the device
