Great app!

Screenable is an awesome app that has made it so much easier to monitor and manage my kids’ phone usage. I love how easy and intuitive it is to use. Highly recommend it for any parent!

Finally!

“Honey, let’s do this for the kids.”
Please, I haven’t met a parent who doesn’t need this for themselves. I’m totally hooked on not being hooked, and my kiddos actually love it!

Finally!!!

I was lucky enough to test early versions of this app and am pumped to see the feedback implemented to create something that we parents NEED to improve outcomes with these know-it-all kids 😅

Big thanks to the Screenable team for identifying a gap and solving for it. For anyone with kids on devices, this is a must!

Perfect Starter Phone Setup with Screenable!

Handing over a smartphone to a child is a bit like giving a sports car to a new driver—exciting, but perhaps too powerful for their first ride. Instead, consider turning your old iPhone into the perfect starter device with Screenable. This app cleverly scales down the iPhone’s capabilities, making it just right for young users. It’s a safe, practical way to introduce your child to the digital world without overwhelming them. Highly recommend for parents looking to smartly navigate their child’s first steps into smartphone usage!

Camera for my son

I used the “dumb phone” mode to turn an old iPhone into a camera for my six year old. Super easy setup, works perfectly, and he loves it.

Love this app

It’s ground breaking as a parent for my kids and their (and my) relationship with technology!

So helpful

Screenable is a game-changer for families. It takes the guesswork and fatigue out of managing the kids’ screen time and making sure they’re using technology in a healthy way. What I love most is how the app encourages responsible habits - it gently reminds kids when their time is almost up and even rewards them for sticking to their allotted screen time. I recommend it to any parent looking to improve their family's digital life.

The Kid-Friendly Phone App I’ve Been Looking For

I have two kids who are using iPhones and iPads for the first time, and I wanted an easy way to get them familiar with new technology without all the default app bloat and confusing parental controls. Screenable makes it easy for kids to get just the apps that they need (phone, messaging, etc), and then I can monitor their usage time to make sure they aren’t going crazy with too much screen time. It’s the prefect iPhone onboarding app to make sure my kids stay safe while still learning how to use technology in healthy ways. A+++++

Smart and Easy

I have two boys and this app is great for reminding them when their screen time is over and it keeps me in the know. and I like that it gives me a notice on my phone when they start to use their phone for the day.

Amazing Tool for Parents!!

I have been a tester for Screenables for the past six months or so, and I can say with full confidence that this app is awesome! As a mother of 4 kids ages 3 through 13, I've been gatekeeping screen time for my kids for well over a decade! While I love the Apple platform, I was constantly frustrated by how awful Apple's Screen Time was and how many times it would completely fail me. After uninstalling Safari, it would often pop back on my kids devices (what!) or it would stop tracking their time for days before I would realize! Then Screenables came along! The screen time settings ACTUALLY WORK! I love the way I can customize what goes on my kids devices, I love how it warns and notifies both them and me when they are nearing the end of their screen time for the day. It's super easy to choose apps that are always allowed (ie kindle or podcasts). But what really sets Screenables apart, is its focus on teaching children healthy screen time habits. Screenables put in the research to back up their app, and I so appreciate benefitting from all the time and energy they combined to come up with an amazing product. Just download the app, you won't regret it!!!

Transforms any iPhone to a dumb phone!

Ever since Jonathan Haidt’s “Anxious Generation” book came out, I’ve wanted to give my kids the benefit of a communication device without all the social media and gaming distractions. I thought I had to buy a separate device on a whole different platform, but now with this app I can use the old iPhone we have around our house and the app turns it into a dumb phone! I’m also using the app to turn another old iPhone into a landline for our family, with just contacts, messaging/calling, and location… no more games, internet, or other distractions on the landline! Such an awesome app, so grateful for this!

Calling all parents: This app is a lifesaver!

SUPER USER FRIENDLY (if I can do it anyone can) app for parents to transform kids’ smartphones into whatever-level-of-dumb that they want! KIDS NEED PARENTS to help them put boundaries on screen content, time, etc. and this app is what I’ve been waiting for. We have six kids and can now appropriately titrate restrictions for their devices according to each kid’s age, maturity, etc. THANK YOU!!!
