Good app but could be easier to use
It would be excellent if, when you try to open a locked app, Pickles open automatically. And once the time is owned, it could go back to the original app automatically. Now, the kid must click here and there, it is kind of confusing. Yes, kids are smart and they will learn, but if frivolous work.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback and for trying Pickles! My kids struggle with the same thing. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t offer a good API for this yet. I tried the notification workaround from https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/719905, but it only partly solved the problem and required notification permissions, so overall it felt heavier and worse. I’ll keep an eye on the Apple forums and add this as soon as there’s a good solution. One thing that makes it a little easier for my kids: they keep the Pickles widget on their iPad home screen, so it’s one tap away.
