This is the good app. But there is a bug related to Lock Status Bar. If I choose lock status bar, it will lock the status bar but its locked even after I exit to parent mode.

I installed this for my son. But - each app i launch from the home page either doesnt work (e.g. camera) or remains on screen for a few seconds and then the launcher homepage reloads.

As a 21 yr old software engineer, I wondered if I could find a backdoor out of the app. I can't :). Plus after installing and uninstalling many different apps like this, I can say that this has the most feature rich free version. Well done Luna team!

There's a bug that allows kids to easily bypass the app time lock. Emailed the developers but never heard back from them. If you have an app that can only be used at a certain time. During the block, go to the app switcher and select the blocked app, at this point luna throws you out of the app and sends you back to the homescreen. The problem is that if you go back to the app switcher and select the app again, you bypass the lock completely and can use the banned app.

To easy to bypass. Both of my kids bypassed this by accident right after they got it. I know it wasn't from experience as they had just seen it fit the first time. I went away fit a couple week trip and find one device had this launcher uninstalled the other it was totally disabled.

It was great until recently. My son keeps losing his apps that I add to his launcher screen via the home screen shortcuts. The apps are stillinstalled though and contact shortcuts seem to stay. Seems to happens every few days. I am not sure if it is because the apps got updated or something else. Seems to happen very frequently now though. It was a 5 star app until this started happening.

This is a good app, and I recommend anyone who shares their device with their children to download this app and buy the premium option. -EDIT- Since I updated my ZTE Axon 7 to android 7.1.1, the app won't even open anymore. I have bought the premium option. Dev please help.

It took me less than two minutes to bypass this launcher and access anything I wanted on the device without the specified pin or pattern. I could never use this to contain my children on their tablets.

App lasted about a week before my 4 year old knew how to switch out of kids mode to get her favourite YouTube kids

T70%
by T####:

Needs some fixes. Current update removes installed apps off the shortcut screen. Also, somehow it bugged out and made it so I couldn't go back to my regular launcher anymore, and the "always" option for selecting a default launcher disappeared. This issue was resolved once I Uninstalled the launcher. Will reinstall and try again, but this is a huge issue for me having to redo my daughter's shortcut screen every single morning when I use this app as a way to get an extra hour of sleep. I'm fully awake as she cries all her apps are gone while I sleepily and frantically try to redo it EVERY DAY-_-

If the parent doesn't close out his/her apps the child can access them by hitting the recents button. No way to stop them from accessing the play store. Let's say there's a link/ad to install an app on the YouTube app the child can install the app. Is there a way to lock the app store in child mode? If there is, I missed it. Also, how about an option to unlock the status bar upon leaving child mode because if you don't unlock the status bar it remains locked after exiting child mode back to parent mode.

Was a great app until I agreed to beta test. I paid for the full premium version, and was doing them a favor by testing possibly buggy beta features after I paid, lost me my paid content. There is no option anywhere to retrieve my paid version via confirmation through Google. My purchase history clearly shows I paid in app. (edited to answer the dev: no, I have no option to restore anything. In fact, the button to purchase it again doesn't even work now. )

My son is super addicted he starts to fake cry

Great launcher for kids and no silly pop ups or adverts. However one bug is that the lock status bar toggle becomes active again after you exit kids mode and then go back in. This needs to be fixed to stop kids getting into areas. This was on an Acer Predator 8 tablet.

You can just use the task manager to exit to another launcher. Basically worthless.

T70%

Great when it works. A perfect, easy easy to what and how much kids play. But it is fairly buggy and glitchy and had to uninstall.

Very easy to bypass. Simply hit the recent button and you're out and into any app that's been opened.

This app allows me to set time limits, requiring my young son to take regular potty breaks. Very easy to reset daily limit, making this the perfect app for a child who won't break on his or her own.

I've been on the hunt for a good solution for my five year old and haven't been satisfied with any of the offerings on the Play Store. Ads? Uh no thanks. Monthly subscription? Eh. This app has none of that and has fit my needs perfectly. Simple to setup, and easy to use (for parents and kids.) I love it.

My daughter has found a work around on installing her own apps through the play store. She has couple of games that she learned require add-ons, which opens up the Play store and from there she installs or opens up apps that is NOT in the luna Launcher. is it possible to block the play store from opening? Also, it would be great to hide the recent button.

This is a very simple app yet, an powerful tool for parents to set what apps and how long that kids can use.

Super cool but can you unlock the clock so kids can set and stop alarms with the app limit time options enabled?
