Glitches a lot

Has to be updated every week or it’ll randomly shut down and turn off all your apps even if parents didn’t turn off app

Invasive and mentally harmful

This app makes me want to absolutely kms, i already have mental issues and parents need to understand the severe mental health impact this app causes beyond the constant stress of location, tracking schedule, cut offs and surveillance, which creates atmosphere, distrust, constant anxiety, and depression, the nighttime blackouts are genuinely dangerous when this app completely cuts off communication and device access at night. It creates a total isolation during the exact moment someone might be having a severe panic attack or mental breakdown having your way to reach out for support or talk to anyone we are struggling causes extreme panic and helplessness. This app doesn’t just mean Screen Time. It cuts off vital lifelines when someone is at the absolute lowest please prioritize open communication and mental health over nonstop, digital tracking, and lockouts.
