Don’t install

Don’t install. It adds itself onto other devices without permission. Might be malware.

Awesome app.

I love how affordable it is. I typically hate paywalls but this is genuinely a good app. Got my buddies to do it with me. We have all seen reduced screen time.

logs me out after using it once

friend controls is a great app, and it's genuinly helped me with lowering down my screen time, but i've noticed a problem that's been happening for a while now. i have my tiktok app screen time set to an hour and a half, but whenever i use the app, even if it's just for 1 minute, and i exit it completely, later when i try to go back in it says i used up all my screen time. and when i ask for more screen time from my friend and i repeat the same action, the same thing happens again. i'm not really sure what the problem is, but other then that it really is a great app that's helped me control my screen time hours.
