User reviews

Needs instructions

Its a great idea. I was really excited about it. But I cant figure out to set it up on my child’s tablet. I blocked certain apps but they still open on my child’s device. A video on how to set it up would be wonderful.

Great in theory

I love the idea of this app but it is super buggy and not very user friendly. I hope they continue to work on it but as it is, I can’t justify spending the subscription fee.

Does not work as expected

This app has multiple bugs where the child iPhone device does not get registered to the adult app. The app has no control over apps on a child’s device. This needs far more work to control Screen Time on children’s devices.

Try this one

Earning screen time for play is great idea and the app does it well. Super easy to set up. Definitely worth a try.
