Screen Time Customer Insights

1. Either it's a half-baked and poorly thought out implementation, or it's on purpose to drive revenue for app maker.This is a great concept, but it needs to be configurable to allow the user to exclude apps that shouldn't count as screen time.

2. However some of them are full screen literally making it impossible to access your options after going over your set amount of time, either leading to having to go to the home screen of your phone and opening the app you were using to reduce the size of the add so you can access the options or clicking on the add.

3. Also If you want to just listen to an app with the screen off, it does not count as screen time, which makes sense!Very useful for actually knowing how much time you spend in a day actively using your phone.

4. The only suggestions I have are maybe show how much time is remaining in the limits, add an optional time penalty to be able to disable the limit, and be able to set an alarm instead of a timerGreat to customize screen time use.

5. I like that it breaks down my screen time by category and app, cause i dont think of reading ebooks as "as bad" as spending 2 hours watching silly clickbait YouTube videos.

6. Music playing doesn't count toward the "screen time" if the screen is off during play while you do other things.

7. Adding the app to the Always Allow List doesn't stop it from counting the time.This is the best app I've found for limiting screen use if you're trying to cut back.

8. This is because on any app that is in landscape mode, if an ad appears, it fills the entire screen and I cannot enter a pass code or anything to get more time.

9. The data from this single app swamps all the useful data that is truly screen time and obscures the data I'm interested in.

10. Screen Time is super easy to navigate.

11. Please fix this problem.Screen Time has been a fantastic app so far.
