Where has this been??

This app is wonderful! Super easy to use and helps to make sure that I am doing right by my kid as far as the shows I let her watch! Immediately became a paid member!

Response from developer

Thank you we're glad your liking it! That's why we do it to help parents find better shows for their kids!

Wish it was more accurate

I absolutely love the idea of this app, but the more a scan the more inaccurate the rating seem to me. I think just watching the show with my kid and thinking about how overstimulating it seems would be just as useful.

Response from developer

Hello Hokat15. Please reach out to us at support@getscreensense.com to submit scan feedback. We're always looking to improve the scanning algorithm to ensure it works for every show to give the most accurate feedback. Thanks!

Amazing

I only have the free version so I don’t get a detailed report, but it’s so easy to do and the scan seems super accurate. I’m having too much fun scanning shows and making a list of the decent-good ones that are safe for my kids to watch. Takes all the thinking away and makes life so easy as a mom of small kiddos
