Solvely
ParentMode's take
13+ with active parent awareness; 16+ for independent use.
Solvely is an AI homework assistant designed to explain problems step-by-step rather than provide answers directly. The app's core risk is dependency on AI for learning and the maturity needed to use it as a study *tool* rather than a shortcut; younger teens need scaffolding to build critical thinking alongside AI support.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Check the App Store privacy label carefully; assume conversation data may be used to improve the AI model, and review what information your child shares about themselves or their school.
Controls
Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to set daily limits and app restrictions, and review the app's in-app settings for any account or data-sharing preferences.
A cautious next step
Consider pairing AI homework tools with offline study methods (textbooks, teacher office hours, peer study groups) to preserve active problem-solving skills.
