1. Sure, this may be coming from the perspective of a 12 year old, but come on! I can't access notifications, calls, or texts.This app is great! Other than the fact that you have a certain amount of screen time, have to ask for every app, can't uninstall it, that it keeps track of your location, it drains some your battery like your battery doesn't matter, apps are blocked, and that when it locks you can't do anything; play music, use the camera, text, or even call anyone.

2. It limits your time on everything, it drains your battery very quickly, allows your location to be tracked all the time, and worst of all, can lock you out of your entire device! I might just be doing schoolwork, and it says "time for bed, come back at ____ am".

3. The things that sucks about this is that it drains the battery way too quickly, and usually I have about 3 days of battery, then my phone is on life support in 2 hours! Another thing is that when it locks, you cannot access anything and it also clears your open apps.

4. If someone hacks into the location thing, you could get kidnapped.Family link is not a good option because it counts time spent on the menu as screen time and leaves less time to use the device that it's on before you run out of screen time.

5. You can't have different screen time limits for different types of apps.

6. Better yet, even looking at your LOCK SCREEN uses screen time.

7. When you reach the limit of an app and go on it the next day, it takes a long time to re-unlock! I once had to wait literally 30 minutes for an app to re-unlock after I used my time on it up the previous day.

8. Why? Why is this necessary?? Another thing- if a parent adds bonus time, say 15 mins, as soon as they add it it starts counting down.

9. It is laggy and drains my phone's battery in a matter of an hour.

10. Then one day I could not get on my phone at all! It said "Time for bed.

11. Also, know how emergency services say not to hang up? If your phone is locked you can forget about that, because you only get one minute, making this app dangerous during emergencies.
