Sucks

Very invasive and gay

Fantastic app—not just for kids

I’ve been using LivingRoom alongside TechLockdown browser to help with purity and it’s been very very helpful in not completely limiting access to helpful apps while maintaining accountability within apps. My only ask is if a lifetime purchase could be an option someday.

Freedom & Safety

Before the LivingRoom app we used guided access a lot on my son's IPad. It worked, but was very limiting because he could only use 1 app at a time. Now he has the option to choose without getting help from me every time which he feels good about and I feel good about the fact he doesn't have access to everything on the internet if his iPad isn't in guided access mode. Win win! Plus I like that it is easy to install and use.

Lag

Text message of spot but my son is in freshwater and it has slow respond to me a lot and it pops up even for us that are always allowed and he has to hold the screen because most apps want to email. It doesn’t allow me to make Safari always allow it. I can see what has been viewed in Safari for screen time so I wish I could turn on “always allow “ for safari. For this reason, I will not be using this out unfortunately. Otherwise, I really like the idea.
