What users are saying

1. My daughter once locked herself in her room to keep using her phone and with screen time, I disabled it remotely! LOL Definitely worth paying for! One warning: This is actually two apps.

2. When it works it's awesome but for a paid service I've been very disappointedI love it! It's a fantastic product and actually works much better than other screen time controls I have used like the one built in to the ipad.

3. If they do a split screen it doesn't use up their time, and the GPS option hasn't worked on one phone (same phones) like .. ever.

4. Make sure you install the parental controls on the parent phoned and the plain ol' screen time app on the child's phone.

5. If we block or unblock or add or remove time, the device picks it up faster than other apps.

6. Here are some things that I think separate this app from others in the pack: 1) not super-invasive; you don't have to supply credentials for online services; 2) time can be controlled to the minute; some apps limit to 15-minute increments.

7. My child has a Xiaomi phone, and the app sometimes doesn't know that she is on way past her allotted time.

8. The phone lock feature does work consistently, but has glitches from time to time.

9. You spend your time manually clicking all the apps and then click save, you get a "Settings saved" green box, but nothing was saved.

10. I can no longer recommend this one...and I used to.Would be nice if screen time was combined between my child's 2 devices.

11. I'll likely look for something else more comprehensive after my subscription is over.This is the fourth screen time app we have tried, and while not perfect, it is better than the others.
