Broken “age-appropriate” / Screen Time pop-up

I use screen time on my phone, and any action on the app triggered a pop-up that effectively broke any possible interaction I could have the app. Fully broken for me

Downloaded the app, and tried to create a login. It hung up. Finally deleted it and tried the process over again. It still got hung. It’s worthless
