1. Having control over individual user time limits would also be good... Certain users in our family will use up all the time before others have a chance to play and I have to unlock it for the day.I decided to try out this app, not for any of the actual parental controls, but for the usage monitoring.
2. Super!It could be good, but I want more control over what time it unlocks in the morning, and there should be an option to easily add additional time without just unlocking it for the day or changing the individual daily limit - and then having to change it back.
3. lastly if its left on the homescreen on accident it doesn't calculate that as time played but it does use up the time limit which then can be adjusted.The app is mostly pretty good, but I think it's missing some very simple features that seem like common sense.
4. Also, the recap/summary screens are confusing to navigate.Nice, basic app to keep track of individual users' screen time, what games are played, etc.
5. Exactly what I need it to be and nothing more.it's amazing because I can set the time limit and bed time, but nothing beats being able to turn it off or add more time to his account from work or wherever.
6. Wish we could set time limits per user is all! It's just a total time limit for the device itself.
7. You can turn off the time limit for a single day, though, which is convenient.Great but stopped working recently.
8. As others have mentioned bonus time would also be good so you don't have to worry about changing the time back later.Very nice, optional soft limits.
9. I love that it's so easy to change time limit, social media access, PIN, etc.
10. Pops up a notice on the switch stating how far over the time limit it is.
11. A more detailed recap would be helpful.Works pretty well but missing some key functions that are needed for controlling screen time.
