App won’t notify or allow parent approval
I can’t get the app to notify me of requests. It sends me a text and I can do it through the website but the app won’t and I’m super frustrated.
Updates
I am enjoying the new update as far as weekdays and weekend updates. I love that now we can adjust setting based upon each day versus weekdays/weekend. The new app is clearer. Brighter. Easy to use to adjust settings. I appreciate the added time ranges from 15 minutes to almost 12 hours versus “unlimited.” The app responds to my son’s tablet faster when making adjustments.

Impossible to set time limits!
Utterly terrible! Amazon is leading in many innovations but should have left the tablet market to Apple! Selling this device, one of the worst user experience
Garbage
Finally they created a separate app for this feature however any time you try to do anything it takes you back to the main screen. Half baked at best. Otherwise there is no point for the app.
What was the point?
I don’t see why a whole new app was made for the parental controls. Don’t fix what wasn’t broken. I also can’t adjust the screen time settings. It pulls me out of the settings & back to the main menu. This was a waste of memory/space.
I did notice I was able to put in the nicknames of the people she’s allowed to call. So there’s a positive.

Mostly useless reading window
The window I set and haven’t changed in weeks is rarely enforced. Not sure it’s the apps fault, but my kids while in their profile can read whenever they want. The pause literally never works also. Kindle is connected to WiFi and the kids can reset their kindles and click on the bottom of their screen and it goes straight to their book. Useless to have a dashboard that doesn’t work.

Alexa too?
I paused my kids devices not knowing. I was disabling Alexa. I haven’t been able to resume Alexa. Screaming from my room right now to wake him up?
Useless at the moment
Very excited for a separate app specifically for parental controls but unfortunately the only thing in the app that works so for is turning on/off the daily screen time. Attempting to edit fields puts me back to the home screen every time.
Doesn’t work
Daily Screen time won’t allow you to edit/modify and set up screen when select just redirects you back to the main page worst app ever and to think I was happy to see more parent safety features available easily to control from an app, but not worth the download I’m deleting app if I could give zero stars I would highly disappointed

Screen time hassle
I wish the app gave me the option to add a one-time screen time “bonus” instead of simply editing your existing limit and then having to remember to change it back!
