Screen Time Parental Control

This app has brought peace to our home! I no longer have to nag. Once my son has reached his limit, he knows it's time to do something else. I also get an alert each time he adds a new app so i know exactly what he's playing, which is very important to me. So glad I found this!

Best app I could find for managing my kids screen time. Hoping future updates will have a bit more flexibility on days of the week as ours do no run Mon-Friday. And possibly limit times on selected apps. A locator would be a bonus so I could find my child/their device would make it the perfect app. Others that have that feature fall far short to Screen Times time limiter abilities. So I just need to find a work around for that as I know Screen Times main purpose is to get the kids looking up and seeing the world occasionally. FYI. My kids think it stinks too.

This app is great. My son hates it and I'm officially the worse mum in the world! Having that little bit of control over the time and apps is so reassuring. I use it to control time spent and have also used it to block some apps. Being able to trial it before signing up was also useful to see if it was fit for purpose.

The app is great, except doesn't do an effective job at blocking Facebook Messenger. My teen is still able to make and receive video chat calls as well as send and receive messages through the chat heads. As long as there's a chat head on the screen she has full access to the app.

This app does exactly what it claims to do. It gives me control of what my child is allowed to do at any time if the day. During school hours, I can allow the calculator and educational apps to be used, but block everything else. If I want to reward her with more time to spend on her phone, I can do it remotely from my phone. This app is worth the money. I'm loving it, but my kids hate the control I have over their time on the electronics. ;)

I love the app and my daughter has adjusted to it as well. It's not about spying on your kids but keeping them safe in the world were so much is so easily accessible to them.

At first glance I was excited about the app and the permissions available. But not long after I decided to purchase the app things started going wrong. Apps I have selected on the blocked list aren't being blocked, the time allowance changes minutes after I change it. None of my settings are staying set. It's very frustrating.

Great! I found the problem. It was me not knowing how to use it. I was able to block my children in the middle of a captivating game on their phones, I could tell because I heard then stumping their feet upstairs. I knew it was a winner. It works great. Thank you and sorry for my previous bad review.

This app has saved countless arguments & removed the need to disconnect the power to the modem rendering all WiFi users offline. My daughter isn't always thrilled with the capabilities of the app but surrendered the battle when I reduced the daily allowance by 15 minutes for each time she ranted about it.

As a parent this app is a godsend. Just look at all the reviews left by disgruntled kids. That proves how good this app is. I have total control now . Well worth every penny. To those below who say kids can still get in you give and Facebook even though I have the apps blocked .they are Do I g this by logging in on the websites rather than the app. Just block your browser (on mine it's chrome) it will be chrome or edge ur Firefox or Internet explorer. Then they can't access it

Easy to use and simple interface that works. I especially like the tasks that you can assign. So far there haven't been any bugs but I've only used it for a week.

There are plenty of holes in this app. My kid found plenty of workarounds and it did no good for me. Was not worth paying for at all. If your kid is tech savvy dont even bother downloading waist of rime and money.

Very helpful! I'm not a control freak but I do like the fact my kids actually think about when and why they are using their devices. And yes.....my kids hate it. :)

This doesn't give your kids self control. I have one thing to say: don't waste your money on it. It's not worth it.

This way the kids do not have to surrender their phones at night, and we are not constantly badgering them to put their phones down. Flexibility to choose what apps have a time limit or not.

Well, I would like to give it a five star but somehow this app is not very stable. So kids device is an iPad, I am using Android device, everytime I want to grant some play time it doesn't work, I need to swipe close the app in the iPad and reopen it, and then select the option to get all the apps back on screen. It looks like it can not do it by itself, that's why I give a 3 stars instead of a 5 stars

Brilliant, get this app now. Every parent should do there bit now for our future generations. The more parents that get this app the more the children will accept it. I will definitely subscribe after the trial period ends. 5 stars *****.

Help. Even though YouTube is on the blocked apps list, my son was able to watch it for one hour yesterday and it didn't even show up in the app log . What's gone wrong? Still no response to this query. Also despite a 60 min cap, my son was able to use his phone yesterday for 1 hour and 47 mins. Any advice would be welcome.

Totally messed up our ipad. We had to factory reset because none of the online help was clear. Really angry and pi##ed off.

I set everything up on my daughter's phone and it says to come back to the app after that to finish setting up and set controls an it won't let me move past that point so I'm gonna try a different parental control app

Great app that gives us instant control over the kids devices. All we need now is PS4 and PC extensions to be able limit those devices as well. Keep up the great work.

Easy to use, nice to be able to show kids how much time they spend plugged in... don't think they realize how quickly it adds up.

Works well across multiple kids tablets. A good feature to add would be the ability to add/configure the time warnings. My daughter suggests 5 mins, 1 min and 30 seconds, for instance.

This app has been amazing for controlling what's going on in both my 4yo and 10yo devices. I love that you can control their devices through your email or an app on your own device. I love that you can block apps and put limits on others. My kids like that they can do certain tasks to earn more time and I can add it from my phone!! Very pleased with the app and the benefits of safety for my kids!!

Was really great, but lately it's been really bad about freezing, then saying that "screentime isn't responding". Hope a new update fixes it soon.

Good app but has faults takes 2 long to log in can't disable n lock apps from parents device developer response times to queries are lacking

Great app for monitoring if not enforcing, though that could be easily turned on if I needed it too. Easy to set up.

I have a very avid screen user. He is nine and this app is wonderful. I actually get to see and interact with my child in the real world. Thank you screentime for making this possible!

It would be nice to setup more than one profile on an Apple device (kids sharing device). Also, a warning before the daily limit is reached would be helpful.

Two kids - easy to install and set up. I'm pleased the cost isn't per kid but per family - that is very fair I think

This app gives parents great flexibility when it comes to controlling their kid's phones and tablets. You can block everything or just certain apps at different times.

I tried several apps but settled for Screen time because it's easy to use, with remote access and makes my kids' phone management quite easy. Opportunities for them to earn more minutes is also a unique proposition.

Screen Time is an amazing app that even my daughter can appreciate! She has type 1 diabetes, and uses her tablet to keep track of her blood glucose levels. While she loves playing games, watching videos and TV, her mood and attention span suffer if she spends too much time staring at screens (she even notices, although she still moans when we remind her of her 2 hour a day TV/gaming/tablet limit). With this app, and its companion, I can lock down all apps that count towards her daily screen limit, but leave open her diabetes app, as well as a few educational apps. Being able to allow her to have her tablet with her at all times, yet know that she can't sneak in extra time on "limited" apps is a relief for both her and myself. She gets upset that she can't trust herself with screens (promise I am not making this up! my daughter is very self aware for her age), and loves that she can have her tablet with no worries that she might give into temptation and play games instead of studying, doing chores, etc. My only "complaint" is that you have less options in the free version versus the premium. However, I went ahead and bought the year subscription (even though funds are VERY tight with us right now) beacuse the prices are more than reasonable for the peace of mind this app gives my entire family.

Best out there! This app is amazing for control of screen time without fighting! We have tried several other apps that tout what I think only Screen Time can do! I can view my son's activity even when I'm in another city! We love this app, my husband and I can be on the "same page" seeing what our son is doing as well as how much time we approve! The stop/start/pause feature works with a simple touch of a button! Bedtime blocker and school hours are easy to use! And unlike net nanny (horrible!) we can view everything our son is doing and easily block what we don't want him to see/do. Our son use to get so mad about screen limitations and shockingly this app has brought peace to our home! Bad reviews are most definitely written by kids! If you don't think this app helpful, look into what you haven't set up (set up is extremely easy) because this app is amazing! I recommend it to all my friends and family!! One more thing, face to face conversations with our child about screen time and limits are easy. This app helps start the conversations, it didn't replace them!

It just works, Thank you. We use it with two kids on multiple devices controlled by our phones. It's hard enough to be a parent in the wireless age, this app makes it just that much easier.

I really like it. You can easily block some applications completely and set a time limit for others. I found ability to set bed time very useful as well.

We used this for the free trial and have now signed up for the year plan. I like the control it gives me for my preteen and that she can earn more time.

I found I very easy to use. When kids have an attitude I lock their phone and turn it back on when I think that they Deserve for me to unlock their phone.

I love this app. My kid is learning to like it. Getting him involved with other things besides the internet. Worth every penny.

This is a stupid, constricting, useless app that ruins lives
