Crappiest thing ever

This app is so annoying it takes forever to put your apps on and it puts it in a random order and not the one you like and it’s not accurate I will leave my iPad/phone or whatever off to go do stuff then I will come back and all my time will be gone.
This app is so laggy and awful. I hate this stupid crappy app

My children have gone out of hand due to coronavirus lockdowns and I wanted to control their screen time but the app was a disappointment.
