Love it!

As a mom of two kids, ScreenTreat has been a game changer for our family. What I love most is that my kids have to complete their must-do tasks before their screen time unlocks. It’s helped so much with routines, homework, chores. The app makes parenting a little less stressful and motivates kids in a really smart way. Super easy to use and definitely worth it for busy parents!

Thanks for the great feedback! Really happy to help turn screentime into positive habits

Bad

I can’t get my child stars. It’s so annoying because you gotta do everything twice and whenever I blocked every app in Games, my child still could access all of her games.

Response from developer

Hi Theadora, sorry to hear about the issues. Our latest release now also is showing actual start balance in parent controls. As for accessing the blocked apps while must-do task are not completed or the time has expired - this is definitely not expected behavior. We have looked into it and could not replicate the same issue. If the problem still persist, please reach out to us hi@screentreat.app.

Practical and Easy

We researched several apps to block my child's iPad before completing chores. This is exactly what I was looking for and offers more than I was envisioning. It's relatively simple, can be managed from the parent's device, and works with screen time limits.

You're getting: 1) the ability to block the device (or selected apps) until must-do chores are completed, 2) control over total screen time use per day, 3) control over downtime, 4) the ability to lock down or completely allow the device at any point in time, 5) customization for the kid to earn extra time after completing bonus chores, and 6) great customer service!

I highly recommend this app if you're looking for any or all of this. Of course, you'll need to establish your own expectations and consequences for marking off chores when they haven't been completed, but unfortunately the app doesn't make that choice :)

Well done, ScreenTreat!

💖💖pretty good!!👌👌

I really love the supportive texts under the Screen Time counter, very supportive and gentle!! even when screen time is up!! I especially love that it's supportive of you earning screen time, since you *earned* it, that'll encourage you and make you proud of yourself!! instead of guilting you into using your screen time

Thank you for a great feedback! Indeed we believe future screen use is to be balanced with this positive mindset! Very happy you enjoy Screentreat ❤️

This is The One

I downloaded a bunch of these types of apps because the iOS restrictions just weren’t cutting it. ScreenTreat is the whole package. It doesn’t over-complicate anything, and it works.

- You choose which apps to limit.
- You choose the time limits (not just the “downtime” time windows)
- You can easily add/remove time on the fly.
- No subscription!
- So user friendly for kids and parents.

I have a degree in Behavioral Science and I’m a parent of two smart daughters. This is the tool I’ve been needing to make screen use workable for my family.

Brilliant way to balance screen time!

Finally, an app that makes managing kids’ screen time easy and rewarding! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time—ScreenTreat encourages kids to complete daily tasks to earn screen minutes, turning screen management into a positive experience. Simple and effective. A must-have app for all parents!

Thank you for your feedback, really happy to know Screentreat has such a positive effect!

No more bad guy!

Finally an easy way to manage screen time and using an app on the child’s device, so the app is the bad guy, not me! How many times do we tell our kids they can have 5 more minutes and then lose count and give our kids an extra 20?! Not any longer. This app also ensures they do their chores first and they can win bonus time. Bonus time is the best! This app is great for teaching both independence and time management to children. It’s definitely worth trying.
