Sorely needed in this world

Great

A must if you have kids!

This is an amazing app to help limit screen time. The automatic limits are really helpful and take the pressure off of me to keep up with how much time has been spent on the screen. The app is easy to use too! Highly recommend!

Response from developer

Hey Becca! We are so happy to hear the app is helping you and your family 🙌 Taking the pressure off parents is our goal, so this is awesome to hear!

Intuitive to Use

This app is easy to set-up and intuitive to use - I like the ability to add a few minutes screen time over the set limit, or lock an iPad if required.

Response from developer

Great app!

Love that I don’t have to be the bad guy and turn off the devices! It’s easy to use and limits the amount of screen time without a fight.

Response from developer

Hey Kaylee 88 - we are SO happy to hear you're finding the app helpful! Reducing fights between families and finding screen time harmony is exactly what we want to do ❤️

Great on iOS!

Tried a number of parental controls apps but this seems to be the only one that actually works on my daughter’s phone. Recommend for other Apple families!
